[Electronics-talk] Accessible Electric Ranges

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning Matt and everyone,

    Marking up the controls with lock dots and/or Braille labels will most 
likely be your only solution. We had the same issue with our microwave and 
range ovens. Placing Braille labels over the areas where the controls are 
was the only way we could make them usable by a blind person. We recently 
had a new microwave given to us and need to have it labeled. Here's hoping 
you can find a range that will work for you and require minimal labeling.

Hi, Folks.  I need to get a new stove for my house.  In looking
around, I've had a tough time finding accessible stoves, primarily
because the oven displays are of clear plastic with no textured
labels or bubble-like membrane buttons.  Controls need to be in the
front.  Read articles about accessible appliances at the AFB Web
site, but still no luck.  Any ideas?  I'm not eager to mark up
displays with those plastic dots or have to take a long time to do up
Dymo tape labels.  Any help would be appreciated in finding an
accessible stove.  Thanks in advance.--Matthew Chao
