There are three types of oven in the Neff family.

Neff's flagship product - on their own or together with a built-in microwave - our single ovens are the best around.

A versatile kitchen companion featuring two cavities and at least three different cooking options.

Our contemporary range cookers will really look the part in any kitchen. Featuring either one large oven, dual cavity, or three separate cavities, both models have a large hob with six burners, just the job for hearty meals on cold days. As well as providing a design statement in the kitchen, they're flexible and easy to use.

Our ovens incorporate our innovative CircoTherm® cooking system and are available in a wide range of styles and finishes.

We've developed several appliances for the smaller kitchen where space is too tight for standard sizes:

• Our compact single CircoTherm® B1724 oven is only 45cm high but still has plenty of functionality
• Our microwave model H5430 fits neatly into a 50cm wide wall cupboard

These can be combined with other small appliances including mix and match domino hobs and our slimline dishwasher.

These ceramic coated liners, that can be on the back, sides and roof of your oven cavity will effectively absorb and oxidise grease particles so they don't build up over time. Your oven stays remarkably clean and therefore needs minimal maintenance. The great thing is, these liners never need replacing.

AquaCleanse® is a brilliant aid to cleaning, softening greasy residues that can then be wiped away.

All you have to do is add three quarters of a pint of water and some washing up liquid to the base of your oven. Then, chose the Q symbol on your oven's control panel. This will activate the bottom heat function to heat the water to 60ºC. This produces steam throughout the oven which softens any greasy deposits. When the water cools, you can wipe out the oven with a sponge or cloth. This is not a self cleaning function.

AquaCleanse® works best once the oven has cooled down immediately after cooking. It's environmentally friendly and uses very little energy.

Pyrolytic cleaning is a self cleaning system available on the B4562 and B4472. The process superheats the oven to approximately 500°C, which burns off any deposits from baking, roasting and grilling. You're left with a perfectly clean oven and a residue of fine ash that's easily removed with a damp cloth. As a safety measure, the oven door locks automatically until the oven has cooled to an acceptable level. The whole process only takes 1-2 hours, depending on the degree of soiling (there are three programme options) and can be run overnight using the delay timer.

It's best to clean stainless steel ovens with soap and water, glass cleaner, or a specialist stainless steel cleaner. You can also use our E-cloth, a special product that works with just water.

Since 2003, all electric oven manufacturers were required by law to provide energy labels for their appliances.

Like other products (such as dishwashers and fridges) ovens are graded A - G, with A being the most energy efficient. All Neff ovens have an A or B grading.

Many of our ovens can be built under the worktop, but we would recommend where possible installation in a tall housing to provide a convenient eye level position.

Ovens with cooking and cooling fans can get a bit noisy. If you're concerned about noise levels, it's worth listening to an oven before deciding to buy it. We've not actually measured the noise levels of our ovens, but many Neff customers have told us they're the quietest on the market.

Most ovens fit into a 60cm wide housing, but the space inside varies considerably. Because of our unique design, there's more cooking space available. In recent tests, our home economists cooked a 32lb turkey in a 58-litre Neff single oven with room to spare.

Model B1664 has a special function which allows a constant oven temperature of 85ºC for 24 to 73 hours. All our other electronically controlled CircoTherm® ovens will operate at temperatures under 100ºC for up to 30 hours.
