The Smeg SCB92MX8 excels in diverse culinary tasks, making it a central appliance for any busy kitchen. For example, the True-convection ovens allow you to bake multiple trays of cookies or roast a large joint of meat and vegetables simultaneously, ensuring uniform heat distribution for consistently delicious results without needing to rotate dishes. The gas hob provides instant and precise heat, perfect for delicate simmering sauces or achieving a rapid boil for pasta, giving you immediate control over your cooking.
Leverage the Airfry function with its dedicated basket to create healthier, crispy dishes like homemade sweet potato fries or crunchy chicken tenders, using significantly less oil than traditional frying. The Pizza stone function, utilizing the included refractory stone, transforms your oven into a professional pizzeria, delivering perfectly crisp crusts and melted toppings for authentic Italian pizza or beautifully risen artisan bread. Furthermore, the Barbecue function with its double-sided grill lets you enjoy grilling indoors, perfect for steaks, burgers, or grilled vegetables, complete with those desirable char marks. The intuitive controls and clear visibility of the gas flames mean you can easily adapt to any recipe requirement, from a gentle simmer to a roaring sear.
Due to its dual fuel nature, the Smeg SCB92MX8 requires professional installation by a qualified technician to ensure correct and safe connection to both your gas supply and electrical mains. Ensure adequate ventilation is available as per local regulations. Before first use, remove all packaging materials, accessories, and protective films from the appliance. It is recommended to perform a burn-off cycle in the ovens as per the user manual to eliminate any manufacturing odors.
This 90cm range cooker is designed to fit into standard kitchen cabinetry spaces for freestanding range cookers of this size. Verify your kitchen dimensions and ensure you have readily accessible gas and electrical hookups (typically a 30-amp electrical circuit for the ovens and a standard gas line for the hob).
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your cooker.
Oven Cleaning: Utilize the integrated catalytic panels in the oven cavity, which absorb grease and residue during regular cooking. For deeper cleaning, the Vapor Clean function softens baked-on food, making it easy to wipe away with a damp cloth. The removable internal door glass can be easily detached for thorough cleaning.
Hob Cleaning: Allow the gas hob to cool completely. Removable pan supports and burner caps can be washed in warm, soapy water. Wipe the hob surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the stainless steel finish.
General Care: Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges. Always refer to the detailed cleaning instructions in your user manual for specific guidance on each component and accessory.
