That’s a very fair point, and Creda (and my dad..) did design integrated ovens/microwave combination ovens, which could be mounted at a convenient height. We had prototypes for some of these too…
Hi, I appreciate that this is a very old thread, but I came across it whilst researching the Creda Autoclean. I particularly enjoyed reading of the excitement of “forlornhope” in finding this cooker and wanting to keep it going – and his description of the special self-cleaning controls as being “Real Goodbye Mr Bond Stuff”. It brought back many memories, as my (now deceased) dad designed this cooker at the Blythe Bridge factory. We had a prototype at home, and I loved the self-cleaning function – it was like magic. It was also the subject of a very mysterious event, when a neighbour described ball lighting moving along the side of our house and disappearing just where the cooker isolator was positioned on the other side of the wall. We discovered that it had discharged through the cooker – melting much of the internal wiring. I spend many hours with my dad rewiring it – so I’m very familiar with the idea of keeping it going! Hope forlornhope succeeded in his quest – and got a few more years out of a innovatively designed cooker – which was also rather stylish (why did eye level grills go out of fashion – they were so practical!). Thanks again for posting about my dad’s cooker!
