Re: How are the Bosch standalone electric 60cm cookers?
Ah, so it is for oven gloves or towel?
You do not have to use some peculiar “detachable handle”?If so that is a very good improvement over the “twist, fiddle, drop, scream, burn carpet tiles / linoleum / cat / feet”.
Re: How are the Bosch standalone electric 60cm cookers?
Oh, that is a point…
Conventional grill tend to be mineral insulated incolloy sheathed, which tend to be slow.
Whereas Creda Solarglo etc used a wire around a rod, supposedly heating faster (still slow, but not as slow).I assume the Bosch are the plain type. Just so I know.
That said the closed-door type grills are very fiddly to use re detachable handle and I think the Bosch is the same. Better off with a separate toaster, very little is grilled (only thing that could be is sausage which is actually oven cooked anyway).Re: How are the Bosch standalone electric 60cm cookers?
Sounds good.
Basically just checking nothing like the old AEG thermostat fault (correctable, but annoying) or controller failures etc.I do wonder how many people actually use the top of a double oven – except for grill, which tends to be slow to get started then burns stuff.

Done, fitted, working.
Not an easy job, but a whole lot quieter.Took a long time to get all the fluff out, which appears to have been shed in a blanket from the upper fan.

First problem fixed.
The hob & sides only need be lifted 0.25″ to lift the back panel off.New problem.
The old fan fits through a shaft-sized hole in the oven chassis, and will obviously not slide off with the circlip & washer attached to it.
You have to use circlip pliers to remove the circlip & washer, then slide it out of the oven.Hilariously the new fan employs a circlip and washer, only the washer is bizarrely has been press fitted and will require a puller or cutter to get it off.
It makes me think the latter ovens have a large hole – clearance for the washer/circlip assembly rather than just the shaft as mine has.
I have never seen so much dust in an appliance, not even multi-decade old TVs. Cleaned the top fan.
Now to cut that washer off.
Bagging & taping the rest so no filings get near it. My puller is too large for such a tiny item.
