Most of the built-in ovens are electric, when choosing them, you need to take into account indicators such as functionality, environmental friendliness and safety. How to choose an electric oven from a variety of models so that the device works stably and for a long time? It is necessary to proceed from several parameters.
First: choose the type of oven and size
All existing models are dependent and independent. The peculiarity of the first to work is exclusively complete with a hob, while the cabinet is installed just under the stove. Such models are not popular with buyers.
An independent electric oven is a stand-alone appliance that is mounted independently of the hob with maximum user convenience. Most of the models are available in a standard width of 60 cm, rarely more dimensional products are found. Height is also 60 cm.

The electric built-in oven can be controlled mechanically or sensory. In the first case, the adjustment is performed by rotating handles, which can be recessed in the surface. As a rule, such models are additionally equipped with a timer. The second popular control method is touch. In this case, the operating modes can be set by lightly pressing the buttons. Some models have combined control when the mechanics and electronics are combined.

How to choose an electric oven that will differ in proper and stable operation? In terms of functional characteristics, all models can be divided into static and multifunctional.

Multifunctional cabinets are characterized by the presence of up to 14 heating modes. Thanks to convection, the air is evenly distributed inside the oven. On the back wall there is a fan and a heating element that allow you to cook products at different levels.
Fourth: the availability of cleaning systems
An electric or gas oven may have different surfaces. Easy-clean enamel coating is a smooth, pore-free surface that is resistant to mechanical and acid attack. This option is the most common. The catalytic panel is coated with special enamel with micropores that break down fat particles. It is advisable to mount such panels on the rear and side walls of the cabinet. The most effective is the pyrolytic surface. It is created without the use of chemicals. The hydrolysis surface involves the launch of a special program that evaporates the liquid and softens the pollution.
