Nice oven!

I'm happy with this oven. It cooks well, is functional, and looks beautiful in our kitchen. One thing I have noticed is that the glass surface where the display is can get dirty from dust and finger prints very quickly. I find myself cleaning it almost twice daily- which is fine with me,, however when cleaning it, and wiping over the touch screen, the screen reacts and turns on. After several swipes, the oven can get confused since it's assuming you want to perform a task (like turn on the oven), but then you press the "off" button to shut it down. Not sure if this sporadic on/off cycle will cause a problem with the OS after doing it daily for years, but I guess we'll find out. Would be nice to have a "clean" switch that would temporarily shut down the touch screen for a minute or two so it can be cleaned. I also have noticed that the clock will all of a sudden show the incorrect time and you have to go back into the clock/time setup menu and reprogram it. Not sure what is causing that, but I'm certain it's not related to any power failure. The grates are very porous, so if/when cleaning them with a sponge or towel, fibers get trapped on them - which looks unsightly. I'm tempted to take some sand paper to them to see if they can be smoothed out a bit. Hard to describe, but when placing a small pan (like an 6" sauce pan) on one of the burners, the design of some of the grates do not extend far enough to cover a good amount of resting surface for the pan, so the pan has a tendency to tip over unless it's positioned just so. Not good. Then, when it *is* positioned to prevent the tipping, it's no longer even with the burner's flames - which can create uneven cooking. The cooking timer volume is rather low when cooking is complete. I have it set to the maximum volume level. Other than these things, we love this oven. We don't use the auto or wifi features that much since we don't bake/cook a lot of frozen prepackaged meals. Only fresh foods.
