The stove was to replace a previous model & essentially it fits the space but the griller is a long way from the element & not adjustable as the earlier model was, & therefore trying to grill food has become a very long & slow process. Also the stove-top elements are an unusual mix - there are 3 tiny ones & 1large, suitable for pot or frypan, the most usful ie the only large element is awkwardly positioned at the back of the stove. I don't know who designs these products but obviously they do not cook on them.
