Safety features are also a key consideration in these models, with features such as a flame failure device, which automatically shuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out. This provides peace of mind for families with small children and pets.

The integration of advanced technologies, such as smart oven controls, allows users to remotely monitor and control their cooking processes through smartphone applications. This connectivity is particularly beneficial for those who have busy lifestyles and need to manage cooking times effectively.
