[NFB-InTheKitchen] Stoves

[Debbie Gabe]

Hey Caroline,
Nice talking with you today.
Thanks for the info about GE stoves and their braille overlays.

I've had my flat top stove ande oven for a long time. In fact, the oven and 2 burners no longer work. So I want to get just a flat top stove top and build a cabinet underneath it. I have a small counter top oven which I bought a long time ago because it has air frying / convection included and I really don't need a large oven anymore.

My currently broken oven controls were easy to label with Matts help telling me what the buttons said and having him put the labels on.

Good luck labeling your oven.

Hi Sandra and Everyone,

Just got my new stove (A GE) delivered last Friday, and I've had a time getting the Braille Stamp Kit--as it is called sent to me.  To answer your question, no--it is partially accessible.  The four burners, plus the keep warm burner in the middle are all normall, that is, are push in the dial and turn it.  That's where like the old stoves ends!  There is a pannel to use to set the oven temperature like a telephone keypad.  However, I will have to use lock dots or the kit which is a cut off braille number to stick on the display.  I hope there is a lock function on the pannel or it wil not be useable for lock dots.

It is so disappointing about stoves these days.  Don't expect to find an old-fashioned stove.  Not even sure if they're made any more.
Best wishes finding yours.  I'll get my kit in about seven days, and I'll play with the display pannel then.
Carolyn
