Style And Design
The Classic 90DFT is cleverly designed to fit into many environments well and be a truly versatile design. As the title suggests it is a classic design and some of the colour finishes would look very at home in a more classic style kitchen or even a retro style kitchen. The chrome finish that is available looks a lot more modern and would fit nicely into any modern kitchen.
The colour finishes are broken down into a two tone design with a black hob and bottom to the cooker with the main colour on the oven doors, this is a nice quirky touch and makes these range cookers stand out a bit from the usual chrome or black models.
The controls are robust and strong but well defined to look modern and well made.
The colours that are available are chrome, white, red, cream, black and wild berry! This is a lot of finishes for one model which is great. It means if the feature set is for you then there will also be a finish to suit.

The flame ignition is automatic with a push button electric lighter.
The Grill
This thirty five litre electric grill is a good variable heat grill with a dual circuit. It works well as a conventional grill and also doubles up nicely to keep food warm whilst dishing up.
