Or is it just mine?
It's a free standing Smeg double oven dual fuel jobby. It's 60cm.
It has four adjustable feet for levelling it - I have them fairly high as our worktop is slightly higher than usual (about 917mm). But the tech support people said that is fine.
They are levelled pretty securely - I've been doing it all day - though our floor is a bit uneven, being in an old house and upstairs.
I'm not sure it's that anyway.
The thing is, when I give it a good push, it will shake for a few seconds. I mean literally wobble, making a faint noise (lots of metal components/hob plates etc).
This happens also if I use the oven doors. They are on very strong springs, and when you close the door, even holding it with you hand quite tightly, it will jolt the cooker and the same thing happens.
Initially Smeg said no, it shouldn't do that, it isn't safe and there should be no movement, then they put me through to the tech/installation guy again and he said it's just because its new, and the hinges will bed in properly and it won't do it in a few weeks.
I'm a bit about it, but I suppose unless I am cooking stuff that's likely to spill over, while using the oven, it won't be terribly bad - but might I be missing something? Is it just that the feet are raised too high?
He said up to 5cm should be alright though the cooker height is 900mm.
I am confused.

My new cooker is wobbly. Does anyone else's cooker wobble?
