Britannia Oven Functions

Britannia’s 90cm and 60cm ovens feature nine functions, so you can use the most suitable cooking style for each recipe. By selecting different elements within the oven, you can ensure that the heat is directed to the required cooking area. Our four-function 40cm and 30cm ovens also incorporate a rotisserie.
