>> HI Folks,

>>
>> It has the four coil burners and on the back panel there are 5 big knobs

>>
>> No light on the stove and no light inside the oven, no window on the oven

>>
>> But I just use my google home to set a timer to go off if I need one and 
>> I
>> have a light above the stove which is also the exhaust fan  built in too.
>>
>> Only $350.00 and that included delivery and taking away the old stove.
