Looking for a bit of advice if anyone can help..?
I was in visiting my pal the other day and her wee one is crawling now. She turns one next month. She wanders all over the house quite safely.. as fire guard on the fire .. cupboards all safety latched etc...
But one thing i didnt not think of was she crawled up the the oven door and had her hands all over it no bother... I got a fright cos i thought she might get a little burn because i would have expected it to be hot..
But my pal explained the door on the oven is triple glazed glass and does not heat up at all...
Now i wished i had thought of this. I have a brand new kitchen in storage waiting to be fitted and when i checked my oven that we paid a small fortune for.. i found that it is only "safer touch" glass, so it will heat up. I confirmed this with the store i purchased it from but they say it will defintaley "not burn", (Can i go on there word!!)
... and also they will not exchange it now as i bought it months back.....
Soooo without fitting it i have no idea how hot it will get...
Does anyone have one of these ovens and could tell me what theres is like?,, its a diplomat? i can give u exact model if anyone does have one....Is it only minor minor heat in the door??
I know every oven is different and obviously buying a triple glazed one will be safer for my child.. but hey its having the money to just go and buy another one!!...
Otherwise im going to have to sell mines which i cant see being very easy...and im sure also at a loss!!!! which is not handy when your doing your house up!
I know i can always try and keep the wee one away from it but realisticly thats not always going to be possible..
Or am i just worrying to much?... Surely theres other people out there that dont have these "triple glazed" ovens... If so how do u make it safe for your child? ?
cheers...
