THE NEW ‘VICTORIA'' TRADITIONAL RANGE COOKER

Smeg has been manufacturing range cookers since 1948 and, inspired by the very first ‘Elizabeth'' model, have recently launched the brand new ‘Victoria'' Traditional Range Cooker.

The dual fuel cooker is 110cm wide and features a multifunction main oven and auxiliary oven, both offering conventional and fan cooking. They each have a generous 68 litre net capacity, 4 shelf positions and feature side opening doors. In addition, there is a separate 41 litre fully variable grill for controllable closed door grilling on two levels, as well as a convenient pullout storage drawer for pans and baking trays. The digital electronic programmer with clock allows the user to select cooking start and stop times and the metal control knobs are designed to be easy and comfortable to use, even for those with hand dexterity difficulties.

All cooking cavities, including the grill compartment, have easy clean enamel interiors and the main oven and grill compartment have an enamel roof liner above the top heating element, which prevents the top of the oven from getting dirty and is removable for easy cleaning.

The unique forced air cooling system also helps to keep the door temperature extremely low, and it remains in operation after cooking has finished and the oven switched off, so as to dissipate the heat which has accumulated inside it.

A versatile gas hob has 7 variable power burners including a large, high power wok burner of 4.2kW.

A stainless steel teppanyaki grill plate is available as an optional extra, which can be placed over two burners for direct contact cooking. Conveniently, where necessary the hob can also be converted for use with LPG where a mains gas supply is not available.

The gloss black enamel upstand behind the hob carries Smeg''s signature 50''s style retro branding which ensures that it coordinates perfectly with the wide range of 50''s style retro refrigeration, dishwashing and washing machines in the range.

The ‘Victoria'' range cooker is AA rated for energy efficiency and is available in a choice of six enamelled finishes – classic cream TR4110PF, black gloss TR4110BLF, red wine TR4110RWF, silver TR4110SF , pastel blue TR4110AZ and pink TR4110RO already available in a number of European markets. Smeg has also introduced a smaller sister cooker – the 90cm wide, dual fuel TR93 ‘Victoria'' with AA rating.
