LOVE THE CONTROLS IN THE FRONT!!!!

Not only has the size met our requirements in our kitchen remodel. But one of the main features has been that the controls are IN FRONT--no more reaching behind boiling/hot pots or pans of food to adjust temperatures.
We wanted a 24" self-cleaning range with a glass top for a small kitchen in a rental unit and this is really the only "choice" on the market with these options.
Just be aware that because the control panel above the cooktop is wider than the rest of the range at 24 3/8 (poor design in my view), it will not fit in an existing 24" opening. We learned the hard way and the kitchen design/contractor had to come back and trim and move a bank of drawers so that it would fit (after the installer chipped the countertop trying to make it fit). Also, the sheet metal on the back comes down so low to the floor so we have to have electrician come back and change the position outlet to accommodate the cord.

Hello LJNE,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your new range. We regret your experience. Your comments are important to us and we have forwarded them to our product design engineers.
Love everything about this appliance. Even cooking temps on the inside, great burners on top. Looks slick, not cheap. The delivery guys had my old stove out on the street before ensuring that my new one would fit my space. Slid in easily at first until the space started to get narrower toward the back. The oven still had a good 6 inches to slide in and we had to discuss. The result was that we were keeping the new one and a few chiseled tiles later, it slid home. The reviews are accurate In terms of fitting a 24 inch opening, but be sure that your space stays even all the way back and be clear if your space is tight so that the delivery guys don’t take your old unit too far from your kitchen before knowing that you’re keeping this one.
