Poor design

1-Touch screen on front of range is activated unintentionally by the cook standing in front of the range, reaching for the back burners, or cleaning the cooktop; changes existing settings.The keypad can be deactivated but it also shuts off gas to the cooktop so you can't cook.
2- 50 weeks after installation we put cooktop grates inside oven and ran "self clean" function. The oven door automatically locks during self cleaning. When the cleaning cycle was over, the oven door did not unlock. We couldn't use the cooktop or the oven for a week, waiting for service. The only way to access the lock mechanism is to force the oven door open enough to cut the lock rod off. It damaged the door, destroyed the lock, and the stove still "thinks" the door is locked, so we can't turn on the oven. Horrible design.
Lastly, GE started 1 warranty at purchase, not installation. At 11 months of light use, GE refused consideration, insisting on purchase date as the start date. No more GE products in this home. GE website will not upload photo.

Perfect temperature control!

We have been using this oven for about 3 months and are extremely happy with the performance. Temperature control is excellent (verified with thermal Fluke gun). Just cooked a 16 lb. turkey with convection oven in 2 hours and 20 minutes, using Butterball online recipe, it was great, no hot spots or dark skin.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Vintage Flair!

The GE Café Range is one of the most beautiful ranges I have ever seen and I know how the pleasure of cooking with it. I love the knobs in the front of the unit. So much safer then reaching over hot burners. They are vintage looking and quite sturdy! The warming drawer was such an added bonus plus a Cast Iron pan included! My most favorite feature is the lack of a back panel. This one has a very polished, low profile vent, adding to it's character.
I would recommend this to a friend!

First time we have had a gas range and are amazed with how we can control the cooking temperature on the range.

Fabulous range for real cooks
on January 7, 2017

Chosen after months of research for kitchen renovation. Changed from a gas cooktop/electric wall oven to dual-fuel range with NO regrets and got a Warming/Baking drawer without losing cabinet space besides (yes, IT IS A WARMING DRAWER). The main oven is huge inside, but the racks are not as heavy-duty as those in my original GE Profile and bow under excessive weight (cast-iron dutch oven full of stew), the convection oven baked multiple racks of cookies with no problem, and the "Probe" feature makes cooking roasts foolproof. The stove burners are amazing: the front 20K BTU burner boils water in minutes and then turns down to allow a wine reduction over hours (it can be a little twitchy at times...), the front 17K BTU burner can boil the spaghetti while you saute Aglio e Olio on the tri-burner - nice! On the down side, the stainless does not clean up well and is easily scratched when moving the grates, and the knobs don't click off and can be turned without pushing them in.

We have wanted a gas stove for years and finally moved to a house were propane was an option. We went in search of a gas stove and the GE Cafe Series came highly recommended by our appliance dealer.

Cooks and bakes so evenly, has so many features and is very stylish. I had a large crowd for Christmas, had many foods to prepare and it did not let me down - everyone was impressed with it overall.
I would recommend this to a friend!
