Who would have dreamt that an oven could be so stylish?

The new LCD function display, featuring two knobs and sensor buttons for easy operation, is now integrated into the doors.

A range of ovens, steam ovens and warming drawers to meet the widest variety of functional and design requirements; available in the classic 60 cm or in the new, international 76 cm (30 inch) format. With new possibilities for individual vertical or horizontal combinations.
