        SIMPLE
        Absolutely beautiful. No bells and whistles. Simple clean and a beautiful addition that matches every appliance in my kitchen. Only thing I havent figurered out is what to clean it with. Everything I use, even plain water leaves a dull finish. I did use a little baby-oil and it helped.

        Hello, we're very happy to see you're enjoying your new range! In addition, grates should be washed regularly in hot soapy water, rinsed in clean water, and dried before placing them back on range. Grates and caps can be cleaned in dishwasher as long as they are enamel coated on the bottom. For burned-on soil: 1) Soak grates and caps in a slightly diluted solution of liquid cleanser and scour with a non-metallic soap filled pad. 2) Place the grates and caps in a sealed bag or covered container with 1/4 cup of ammonia. Let them sit for 3 hours up to overnight to loosen soil. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, clean cloth. We recommend the following when cleaning the control panel, door, and other exterior surfaces: 1) To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. 2) Be sure all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven. 3) Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Do not let water or soap drip into the vent at the top of the door. 4) Rinse and dry well. We hope this is all helpful information! We're glad to have you in our GE Appliances family! - Guy@GEA GE_Appliances

          Overall the oven works good. It looks good and cooks well. However my model has a small burner in the back. The other three burners are normal size.

          Woohoo
          After moving into my new home and noticing the old home owners had placed mouse glue boards in my broiler drawer I decided to buy a new one. This one arrived yesterday, and all I have to say is I baked cookies for the first time in over a month so I’m happy. No timer, clock or way to notify you when the oven has reached its temp, but it works!

                Front and Back Burners Too Close
                Your front and back burners are 9" (closer to 8.75") center to center apart. That means if I have pots and pans on the back and front burners at the same time with diameters of 9" or larger (which I have many) I cannot use both the back and front burners at the same time, because they will not be centered over the flame. If your pots and pans have a diameter of 9" or smaller, then this is the range for you. Also the grills surfaces are slippery so you need to be careful or your pan and it's contents might end up on the floor.

                  Basic model but just what I wanted!
                  Works great, love it. I do wish I would have gotten the timer and clock feature, but I'm still very satisfied with my purchase

                    Simple yet great!
                    For a simple and affordable range, this appliance is great. We have found that it heats food exceptionally well and holds the temp consistently. The appliance is easy to clean which takes the mess out of cooking. Furthermore, it’s truly is a beautiful oven.

                      Very Burner Arrangement
                      Really enjoy the Medium, Small and Large burner arrangement for cooking. Just had to run oven for 20-minutes at 450 degrees, just to cook-off any funky smells. One pet peeve would be the tiny plastic legs (see photo). I did not care for those and making adjustments to ensure unit is level wasn't easy. Overall unit looks and works great!!

                        Very Good Gas Store
                        This gas stove was a good price and has improved the looks of my kitchen area. Both the top burners and oven work well. I have not tried the broiler yet. I wished the oven door was moveable because it would be easier to clean the oven.

                          Just installed it right now
                          Just finished installing it in my kitchen. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet though. I will come back and re-review after about a month or two. But so far it looks good. Definitely better than the old one I had.

                              First off, the model on the sales floor was NOT the same as I recieved. The product number matched, but was NOT the same that's for sure. The oven door/glass are waaaaay different from each other. Other than that, great working stove/oven. Would be a 5 star review, but I can't for it not being the same look as what I saw in the store.

                              I love the easy cleaning stove top, the quietness and how quickly it prepares all my meals. I love that it came with a converter so I can use propane too. I'm very happy with my new stove.

                                  So happy with my purchase! I couldn't be happier that I bought a standard, no frills gas range. It does what it has to do, and it does it well, while looking really nice. I bake quite a bit and all that I've made has baked evenly. The ranges heat food up quickly, and boil water within a minute or two when using the front 18k BTU burner. I honestly couldn't ask for more. I'm not saying the more expensive, digital panel ranges aren't cool, but why do I need an app connected to an oven? And I'm really supposed to spend thousands for that? I'm never turning it on when I'm not home, and I could just get up and walk over to it. To me, that just invites more issues, aside from panel problems. GE recently sent over an email concerning icloud connection issues for ranges. Enough said... Two things I would change would be the range inserts are easy to scratch the black coating off, so be gentle when washing. And I would add a timer. However, I solved both issues by 1. using a scratch-free sponge and 2. I use SIRI or Alexa for a timer. I also purchased an inexpensive oven thermometer, so that solved any issues of knowing when it was done preheating. If you want a nice standard working oven, and don't want the frustration of potential panel/connection issues, buy this.
