Eco grill cuts out after 10 mins
1/5
We have only had this oven for a couple of weeks and are very disappointed with the grill function because it keeps cutting out when the grill reaches a certain temperature.
We timed it today and the grill was on for 10 minutes before cutting out for a whole 10 minutes (the manual says it does this for a "few minutes") and then heating up again. We were cooking sausages and it didn't feel safe to have the meat cool down only to be reheated.
Apparently this is an eco grill and it is supposed to cut out, but as far as we are concerned it isn't fit for purpose. We wanted to cook 8 sausages and 8 rashers of bacon so that four people could eat at the same time.
We could only cook 4 sausages and 4 rashers of bacon at the same time as the grill tray is very small (the grill space available is only 35cm wide and 23cm deep) and then had to wait for 10 minutes before cooking the next batch. Not great if you have a large family.
The grill tray provided also has to sit on a metal shelf (rather than slide directly into the grill) and the shelf slips forward when you pull it out.
The other negative is that the plastic control knobs get extremely hot when the grill is on.
On the positive, the delivery and installation by ao.com were excellent.
