[Electronics-talk] Accessible Stove/oven

[Sandy]

Hello,

I bought a new stove/oven about 2 years back, which is hooked to natural 
gas.  It does have a flat screen to regulate all the oven and broiler 
features, so I was able to put on some Dymo tape Brailled labels to identify 
what I need.  I need to listen to beeps to indicate temperature intervals 
and use the up and down arrows; this is my first electronic stove and I'm 
fine with it.  It is some model of Kenmore that came from Sears and I bought 
it when a sales rep let me in on when they would a six hour sale for, I 
guess, their privileged customers, but not publicly advertised.  She said 
these sales typically are on a weekend night from 6:00 to midnight. I like 
this appliance much better than what I had previously.  The burners light 
with an electric ignition.
