This is the worst stove/range I've ever owned. - the ranges are bowed in the middle - oil pools to the inner sides of the pans while frying. Ilve says this is "normal" - the burners have no control - mostly too hot - you cannot make rice without burning the bottom of the pan. - the oven temps are all over the place set it to 200F, get 250F, set it to 450F get 400F. - the built-in "oven cooling fan" blows out the range burners if they are on. So using the oven and the range at the same time is nearly impossible. - the center burner is undersized and doesn't heat the griddle evenly. I cook everyday and have used many ranges: GE, Wolf, Viking, Samsung, Thermador, etc. I've never experienced anything like this. I could never have imagined how much I regret this purchase. Oh and the support is non-existent. I've spent many many hours over the past 6 months trying to get help, only to receive non-solutions for these problems because the units are terribly designed and terribly built. Do not buy.
Foreplay with an appliance! Amazing.
What's the price????
kitchen porn. I love it.
Did you purchase an ILVE?

Did you ever figure it out? Especially the simmer issue
I returned it after battling with them for a year and bought a GE Cafe. Good luck!
@@leemazur870 Thanks! We just have the simmering issue... Might pull out the thermocouplers to fix it.
I thought the same thing!
