The Smeg TR103IP2 is a 100cm Victoria range cooker in cream, combining a five-zone induction hob with three electric ovens. The Victoria design takes its cue from Smeg's first cooker, the 'Elisabeth' of 1948. With 181 litres across the three ovens, it suits a family kitchen where the cooking often runs to several dishes.

Cooking

Five induction zones cover the hob: a 27 cm zone in the centre and two 21 cm zones at the front, each rated 2.3 kW with a 3.0 kW booster for up to 5 minutes, and two 18 cm rear zones at 1.3 kW. The 61 litre multifunction oven sits on the left with four shelf positions; it offers static, fan assisted, Circulaire, ECO and fan-assisted base cooking and defrost by time, and carries energy class A. Opposite, the 84 litre tall oven uses Circulaire heat and two fans over nine shelf positions, behind a full-height side door; use it for baking, plate warming or a separate roast (class B). The 36 litre grill compartment's 2700 W adjustable grill is used with its door closed.

Controls and everyday use

Victoria knobs control the zones on a 1 to 9 scale, and the display flags residual heat until a zone falls below 60°C. You also get Keep warm, a heating accelerator and a controls lock. An electronic programmer handles the multifunction oven, with timed cooking up to 10 hours and a minute minder up to 23 hours 59 minutes. Vapor Clean steams the easy clean enamel for 18 minutes using about 120 ml of water, leaving dirt easier to wipe out.

Size and installation

It is a freestanding cooker, 900 x 1000 x 600 mm (H x W x D), weighing 114.9 kg. The space should be at least 1003 mm wide, with 150 mm to a taller side wall and 750 mm clear to wall units. The cooker draws up to 15400 W (43 A) and arrives with a 150 cm cable and no plug; an electrician connects it to a cooker circuit. Hob power is 7.4 kW as standard, and can be capped at 4.8 or 3.7 kW.
