Zanussi is launching a brand new range of cookers in April 2010, all beautifully designed with sleek lines and new handles. They are available in 55cm and 60cm wide models with both electric and gas configurations. These new ranges have a larger main oven capacity so more dishes can be cooked at once. What is more, both cavities are ‘A’ energy rated, saving costs and helping the environment. The cookers are simple to use with Easy Access Controls positioned at the top, front of the hob for easy access and out of reach from little fingers. Both oven cavities also benefit from Easy Access Viewing with larger viewing windows so it is easier to see what is cooking without bending down.
