Your kitchen won't become a sauna

We all love a warm kitchen... but maybe not when it's already 24°C outside.


So, as the days get longer and the weather (theoretically) warms up, you might start to worry about a range cooker making your kitchen feel like a sauna.

But trust me, that’s not going to be the case. Not if you make a few small tweaks to the settings to get it summer-ready.

Here’s what I recommend to keep your Everhot running smartly through the warmer months:

  1. Use Auto-Eco mode
  2. It automatically dips into a lower power mode overnight, reducing heat output and saving energy.

    Tap (don’t hold) the ECO button. When the green light flashes, Auto-Eco is on.

    Here’s a quick video if you’re not sure.

  3. Turn off the bottom ovens
  4. Not using them? Flick them off. They’re stainless steel, so it won’t do any harm. And it’ll make a noticeable difference to both the room temp and your electricity bill.

  5. Turn hotplates down (or use your induction hob)
  6. Dial the hotplates down for an instant reduction in heat. And if you’ve got an “i” model, use your induction hob for most of the day-to-day cooking. It’s fast, energy-efficient, and won’t blast heat into the room.

  7. A few extra pointers:
    • The hotplates and ovens support each other, so if you’re doing a bigger cook, give it time to heat up fully.
    • Your top oven is the main hot one, the bottom’s gentler.
    • Don’t turn Eco on/off every time you cook – it’s better to leave it on.
    • If you’re going away on holiday, use Permanent Eco mode (the solid green light) to keep things ticking over.

So there you go – a few simple tweaks to keep things cool without having to unplug your cooker until September.

Any questions, feel free to reply and I’ll help however I can.

Warm regards,
