What Zenith makes

You can also browse by fuel, alongside other brands: gas cookers and electric cookers.

50cm or 60cm cooker?

A 50cm cooker fits the narrower cooker space found in many flats and smaller kitchens. A 60cm cooker is the standard UK width and gives you a little more room in the oven and on the hob. Measure the width of your gap, and check the height and depth against the product page so the hob lines up with your worktop.

Gas or electric?

Gas burners respond the moment you turn the dial. The flame failure device cuts the gas if a flame goes out, and the cooker must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Electric with solid plates is simple and works with any flat-based pan, though the plates take a little longer to heat up and cool down. Electric with a ceramic hob gives you a smooth glass top that wipes clean easily. Electric cookers usually need connecting to a cooker circuit, so check the power requirements on the product page.

Conventional or fan oven?

The 50cm cookers have a conventional oven, which heats from the top and bottom, so the top shelf runs hotter: useful when you want to cook dishes at different temperatures at once. The 60cm cooker has a fan oven, which spreads the heat evenly, so you can bake on more than one shelf.

Where the grill is

On the 50cm gas cooker, the grill sits inside the oven, so you grill or bake rather than both at once. That suits a household that grills now and then. If you often grill while something else cooks below, the 60cm cooker’s separate grill compartment is the better choice.

Undercounter fridge and freezer

A larder fridge has no ice box, so all the space inside is for fresh food. Put it beside the undercounter freezer and you have the storage of a small fridge freezer, both under the worktop. Both doors are reversible.

Before you buy

• Measure the gap. Check width, height and depth, and leave the clearances the instructions ask for.
• Check your supplies. Gas cookers need a gas supply and a Gas Safe registered engineer, and electric cookers need a suitable electrical supply.
• Let cooling settle. After delivery, leave a fridge or freezer standing for a few hours before you switch it on, as the instructions advise.

• Plan the ventilation. A cooker hood or a window you can open helps clear steam and cooking smells. For a gas cooker, the installation instructions set out the ventilation the room needs, and the engineer will check it.
