[Electronics-talk] gas VS electric stoves

[Sherry DeFrancesco]

Hi everyone,
I have just begun to read this thread...I like gas personally because I can 
hear the flame and adjust according to the sound...we bought a new gas stove 
about 5 years ago with the flat screen/digital controls, but they beep and 
we adhered Braille labels. So, it works really well for us(we are both 
total) Some stoves have the beeps when you push the flat screen, and others 
do not. Something you will want to check out when you purchase. Also, the 
Braille labels can melt from the heat, so be sure to use the tubes of 
marking glue when marking in Braille.
Also, the default oven temperature is 350 degrees. If we want to adjust the 
oven temperature, we have to count the beeps with an up and down arrow 
setting in 5 degree intervals.  Once the oven is shut off, the default will 
be re-set to 350 degrees automatically.

Hope this helps.
Sherry
