Touch pad turns on and off on its own
on January 30, 2014

Has anyone had this issue? The stove was replaced, electrician was out, the electric company came out and even the contractors. The touch pad beeps and go haywire from 715am-445pm EST. Can someone help me? This is the latest updated stove.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very Good Performance So Far

I did a lot of research on gas ranges before we settled on this one. We've had it in place for a few weeks now. Bakes and roasts nicely. There are a number of common complaints in the reviews online and I'll address those.
Fan Noise - It's not true. I've had the oven working at 450 degrees and there's a very slight sound from the cooling fan. Unless you're sitting listening for it, you won't notice.
Scratches Easily - True. There are very fine scratches in the stainless already, both from regular use and from moving grates to clean them. Heavier grade steel might solve this longer term. I wish it didn't scratch but we built our kitchen for use and we'll deal. 4 stars only because of this.
Bottom Oven - It's electric with heating elements on top.
Fit - If you're redoing your kitchen, have the gas line and electric installed within 18" of the floor, centered. If you do that, the range will slide in all the way to the wall. If the outlet is too high, the range will butt up against it and sit an inch off the wall.

Love this stove!

I love this stove!! Can cook so much with the extra baking drawer - you can cook a casserole in baking drawer while cooking your meat in the regular oven - so convenient when you have different foods cooked at different temperatures. And I also Love Love Love the turbo boil and simmer feature. Can't say anything negative about this stove....
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great range for the money
on April 25, 2014
Posted by: David605
from Morris, CT, United States
I wanted a more professional type range and bought this model after being warned off of more expensive ranges. I saved several thousand dollars and this range meets all of my expectations. I had a another gas range prior to this model and it was perfectly adequate. But after using this range I realized what a professional type range could really do. The simmer setting on the burners really does simmer And the power boil is worth the price of the range by itself. I find myself having to change my cooking habits. I no longer have to get the water going before making pasta at the beginning of a meal. I can do it near the end. This range is terrific value for the money and the stainless steel exterior gives the entire kitchen a more professional look. Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cafe series gas

I bought this stove in June and put it in my new home. I love the center pancake grill platter. The stove cooks evenly. Have not used the small oven yet, but love everything else. Would definitely recommend.

Not up to standard
on August 26, 2014
Posted by: Marge48
from Long Island, New York
I bought this item thinking it had a lot of nice features such as the fifth burner and extra oven. However, I have found that the touch pad is so sensitive that just brushing by it can accidently turn it off thereby not cooking the food in the oven. I have also found that the burners do not adjust properly. I also found that the stainless steel top becomes easily marred by food that might spill on it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Power boil jets are quick and useful. Commercial look yet perfect in residential kitchen.
