[Electronics-talk] Microwaves

[Darla Rogers]

Hi Evelyn,

	I need to do more of that, as some of the abbreviations aren't what
one might think.

Hi, charlene,

I'm glad you have a good dealer.  He sounds a lot like mine.  I'm also glad
he will have his installer put the labels on for you.  
Then if you have a means of reading the manual, you'll know what the
abbreviations referred to in the manual are.  I made a list of the
abbreviations used for the four appliances I have bought in the last eleven
years along with what they stand for.  I hardly ever have to use it now, but
it's there if I need it.

Regards,

Evelyn

            Thank you, Evelyn.  The dealer I have is one I have had for
years.  My Maytag washer and dryer as well as my Bosch dishwasher came from
that appliance store.  GE does have the Braille labels for the microwave I
will purchase.  The installer will install and apply the labels.  
They even
were able to match the bisque color of my range.  That makes my range
Whirlpool and the microwave GE.  Hope this info helps others on the list.

Hi, charlene,

I did not saveany of my messages.  Here's the gist of what I wrote.

I have an over-the-range microwave from Maytag and have bought three other
appliances during the first ten years of this century.  Whirlpool owns
Maytag and a number of other brands.  I got Braille overlays for all four
from Maytag.  The last I knew, Whirlpool had them too, but GE did not at the
time.  The advantage of getting these overlays is that they are
printstbraille and therefore easy for sighted assistance to apply them if
you need or want it.  In addition, you have the abbreviations that the
manuals use-handy if you have a book reader on your computer.

My best advice to you is to go shopping.  Don't forget family-owned dealers.
They compete fairly with price and give you better service as a rule.  In my
case, all appliances were held by my family-owned dealer until the Braille
came, sent directly to me.  The advantage of examining a variety of units
from various brands is that you are likely to be the most happy with a unit
that gives you the features and operational set up that fits you.

Well, that's more than the gist (smile).

Geards,

Evelyn
