We used our stove a couple of nights ago (the electric element) to cook our dinner. It cooled down but then the whole glass panel cracked/crazed. Has anyone else had similar troubles? The panel is in two pieces - the front one with two gas rings on it, the rear with the electric plate & one gas ring....

We'd tackle the busy weekday roads of the capital next day after a rest. Good thing too as it turned out. But first.. the Main North Road,...
