Yes, it does take a while to boil water on an electric range. My trick is to boil water in my elecric tea kettle first, then add to water on stove to give a boost. I've had a Maytag Gemini electric double oven for 13 years and love it. Now in new home and want to purchase the oven you have with induction cook top. Thanks for your review. It was helpful.
Just today I bought a new cafe Induction double oven. I have a regular electric stove now and YES boiling water takes forever!! I’m so impatient too. Also preheating the oven takes forever! So over it! Can’t wait for my Thursday delivery 😃
It’s so high tech. I love the touchscreen. I can’t believe it has two ovens. So cool. Great for cooks and bakers. We’ve had our gas range since we bought our house and thankfully it’s still good. I’ll have to look into these new ones.
Very nice video and review. We currently have a freestanding Maytag Gemini ‘Double Oven’ that hit just full 9 years November of 2003 and a few things are starting to appear in which a newer purchase may happen in the next couple of years (hopefully) Baking light indicator’s are getting dim to read and technician said parts are no longer available. Wife and I thought it was great idea for a double oven and like other’s never knew they existed. My wife uses the top oven 85-90% of the time once you get this style of stove and she says will never go back to a single oven. The top oven heats faster, not as large and is just convenient for baked items for cookie sheet to 12X9 baking dish. Does not heat up the entire kitchen. Yes, the electric stoves will boil water slower, just a way it conducts the heat from elements to the pot I would suppose, however I would be curious on the induction type of heating, will need to do some more research for next future purchases. I did like that lighted dial feature to let you know which burner is on, they need to incorporate it on the freestanding models for that quick reference. I would ask 1) if that air fryer you said was included in a software update, does that work only in the lower oven or apply’s to both; 2) does the easy clean (using water to steam) work better than just a normal self cleaning oven and is both options available for both ovens? Thanks for the review which was to the point of pro’s and con’s and giving feedback, well spoken! Good luck on that door being cattywampus, never did find that you received a solution to improperly aligned door. Thanks!
Thank you for the compliments! To answer your questions, air fry is only available on the lower oven. The self clean and steam clean is available for both ovens. Self clean takes 3-5 hours while the steam clean only takes 30 mins. I personally think self clean works better even though it takes longer. Keep in mind you’ll need to crack a window when doing self clean as it can let out a strong smoky smell
One of your burners is high output Power Boil. Please read your manual. Most high end electric ranges have this feature. Please contact GE about the door or the appliance store. I also went from a gas oven to an electric one and had considered the GE Cafe series because I wanted an oven with the knobs on the front. There is a lot to learn about using an electric oven.
Thank you! Yes I know about the power boil but it definitely still takes longer than I was previously used to which makes sense for an electric stove top
There's a good chance the unit wasn't leveled properly. The chassis is thin sheet metal and can bend like a parallelogram, but the doors can't. The right side needs to drop or the left side needs to come up. The rear feet also need to be adjusted, which requires pulling the range out. It takes some trial and error. I have the induction version of the previous model before the new styling. It's way better than gas!
Thank you for your informative video. Does your oven include an air fryer? I am having a problem enabling it to work. Any suggestions. Thank you again.
It was an update that came through in mid 2022. You have to hit the options button and it’s option 1. I think it can be done in either the upper or lower oven
Hi, just finished watching your video…I find that having a countertop convection burner is great for boiling water. They are not too expensive and takes out the frustration of your range not boiling quickly.🤗
That’s nice that it comes with the convection oven! I loveeeee to bake 🧁! Ooooo faaaaancy a touch screen 😱! That’s really awesome that the app allows you to pre-head the oven while just sitting on that couch 🙌🏻!! I agree the aesthetic of these appliances are 😍😍!! Yay for an alert about the pre-heat. That way you don’t have to be near the oven to hear the beeping letting you know it’s ready to use. Oh nooo the top door is lopsided 😐. I’m impatient too when it comes to food 😂. As always love the honest review! Very helpful 💖
I hate waiting for water to boil too. I like to put about 2 to 3 cups of water in the pot and get it started boiling. Then fill up my electric kettle and add that boiling water to the pot. Takes less than 5 minutes. Depending on how much water you need. But adding the already boiling water speeds it up tremendously.
Hey Bianca. I really like electric cookers. So fab you can get an app. It looks great. I like stainless steel. Steam clean, how awesome. I boil a kettle first as our electric cooker takes ages to boil pans of water. Fab review. Thanks for sharing ❤
I already know about Cafe appliances I am here because I am excited and this is what I do when I wait for a product to ship lol. Currently building a house and I did all Café appliances accept the microwave is profile (because it's huge inside lol). I am gonna be hosting Christmas so the pressure to be an awesome chef falls to me haha
I have the GE Cafe CC2S950 gas range. From new(2020 or 2021), the front right burner on simmer up to number 2 setting where flame is still low would cause the sensor to think the flame is out and would activate all spark ignitions of all burners 1-2 times every minute. Cannot use it on simmer. Had tech out 3-4 times for this. They tried to add a ground cable to another burner (front left burner) and it seems to have helped. ALSO a very bad design flaw is that the exhaust vent for the oven, which operates when the oven is on and for several minutes after the oven is off, located at the rear right blows horizontally across the right two burners. If you are using those burners when the exhaust is operating, the blowing air will blow out the burners unless on medium to high flame. But then the flame is not uniform and dancing all over the place due to the exhaust air flow. To some extent, it also affects the flame on the middle burners. When the rear right oven exhaust is operating, I must use something thin and upright and police it at the rear of the right cast iron grate to block the airflow if using the burners on the right. The the exhaust will blow upwards. I use my stainless steel stove top round burner covers. No fix from LG.
Open the top door, then pull the lock mechanism on both sides then close the dore to 75 degrees this will allow you to lift the door off, once the door is off inspect to see if anything is bent on the hinge, take some pictures, then replace when you replace make sure everything is seated prop[erly and then close the door, inspect is it still lopsided?
Nice video the con on boiling water honestly will depend on the type of pans you got. My wife has ballerini and clad pots and one def boils faster than the other.
So cool that it connects to your phone, that’s a nice feature! The steam clean option is awesome! The touchscreen is so nice too! I’m sure it makes cooking a lot of fun now! Those bloopers! 😂💕
Wow 3 months has flown by! Ohh teach me your ways, I love the "type-writer" feature for the subtitle! OMG the preheating feature from your phone is everything! The light up knobs are super unique, i've never seen that. I would have never noticed the lop sided door butttttt, you're right, once you see it you can't unsee it haha I am sure it bothers you.
Don’t use the self clean on the cafe. We used our and the heat melted the control panel had to it get it replaced. Was told by the tech not to use because it heats up to over 500:degrees.
In my experience with the GE cafe dishwasher, microwave/hood vent and stove. DO NOT buy the dishwasher. Nothing but problems from day one, doesn’t wash well. The microwave is not recommended we’ve replaced parts numerous times. The oven works fine. Good luck if you have the cafe series, you’ll get to know your repair person well.
Hey Bianca! Thank you for the informative video. You are amazing.... I am thinking of buying the matte white color in the Cafe appliances. What do you think interms of cleaning the stove on the white part in case you have a spill that has turmeric in it? I have used white appliances before but not the matte white one. I was wondering if the turmeric will stain the white part. That's the only concern stopping me from buying it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you! I am not sure about the white version of the appliances. We did not consider the white. I would suggest calling GE or a local appliance store
I recently purchased the same range but accidentally got the knob mixed up when I changed them out for the gold ones can you share what knob goes where
The café double oven that goes into the wall as an option to buy it with steam heating. Did you mention that your café has a steam option? If so, can you use it to clean the oven with steam instead of extreme heat? Does it do a good job cleaning the oven with steam?
Hello, We just bought and installed the single oven cafe electric range. Our question is with the burners on the glass top, when turned on does the range have a fan that comes on? It seems our does and is loud and sounds like something is rattling? I guess first is the fan normal? Thank you for the video!
Commenting on your cons... Not sure if yours has the same but ours has adjustable feet. When we installed we needed to raise all 4 and 2 of them even more to make it level. Not sure on water, just installed, and it has a quick boil feature that i havent used yet. Last, I would be so pissed if I bought it and the features didn't work 100% of the time! Argh.
We didn’t install it ourselves but I believe it has adjustable feet and that may be the reason the doors are sitting unevenly. The boil feature works really well!
I have this range. The lower oven is too low. My wife and I have to get on one or both knees to access the lower oven. I wish I had the single oven model.
@2nicks1cup no. No fan noise at all when using the burners. We have propane and have a propane conversion kit. Maybe yours is natural gas and therefore different noise than mine? Try adjusting the burners (take knobs off and adjust with a tiny slot screw driver). Instructions are on UA-cam. Easy to do, need special screwdriver on Amazon. Long and very small. ?? Good luck.
Have you over boiled something? What happens? I am concerned about the vent in the very back. What happens if water boils over and goes down into it? Where would the water go?
I haven’t over boiled something. Whenever I boil, I typically use the front 2 burners so I haven’t had any issues with the back vent. I’ve had small bits of food fall back there. Not sure what happens to it and haven’t smelled anything burning
Yes, the app tells you if the burners are on or off but doesn’t specify which one. The stainless steel does scratch if you’re not careful but mainly if something hard or metal-like touches it
Do you have kids? I'm worrying about purchasing one of these slide-ins with lower knobs, vs the knobs on the back like a regular unit. Do you feel they would be easy for little fingers to turn and mess with? Thanks
I do have a child and she’s never tried to touch the knobs. It’s not that easy to turn them. You do have to push in slightly before turning. Hope that helps!
I haven’t toasted a whole turkey, only did a turkey breast. I will say that the top oven is not large enough for a turkey. A normal sized Thanksgiving turkey will fit in the bottom convection oven with the center rack removed
@@BiancaFigz thanks for the reply.I’m debating as to wether or not to go with the double slide in range. The second oven door just seems a little low to the ground.
How well does the convection do? Does it still cook things well when using baking dishes, or do you have to use flatter baking dishes? I have the Samsung flex duo and don’t like it
Omg can’t believe it’s been 3 months already 😳 I love your double oven. In our old home and other apartment we had with my husband we always had electric stove and I always wanted gas stove and now that we have I love it but it is easier to clean an electric stove 😁 I do love how it has double oven it is very convenient during the holidays. Oh I see yes you should call for them to fix it the oven door. And yes it takes longer to boil with electric stoves for sure you’ll get use to it eventually 😁 Haha 😂 nice ending! Lol
I know, it went by so fast! That means it’s been 3 months for you too 🥰 I do miss gas especially when it comes to boiling. Thanks for always supporting friend!
How loud do you find the convection oven? We're looking for one that is quiet. When does the oven make a fan noise (preheat, during normal non-convection bake at all, after oven is turned off...)? Got a Frigidaire gallery induction stove and we are immediately returning it, because the oven fan is SO LOUD, and I'm having trouble finding reviews on oven noise.
The convection oven is not loud at all. The fan sounds just a little louder than the non-convection oven. The fan starts about halfway through preheat and stays on until the oven cools down after cooking. But even still, I don’t find it loud
@@BiancaFigz That's good to know! Does the fan come on at all during the normal oven mode (non-convection baking)? The Frigidaire had this weird thing where there was a fan cycling on and off every few seconds during normal bake, which I'd never heard of before.
@@BirchCottageGarden yes, there is a fan that does turn off and on during non-convection cooking from the top of the oven in the back of the cooktop but again, it’s not loud
No it goes higher than 350°. I’ve set it to 425° but not sure what the highest is. You use the keypad to set the temp so you can set it to a random number like 354° if you wanted to
@@BiancaFigz Thanks for clarifying that. Another review made it sound like the upper oven had a max limit of 350 degrees. Is it true that a new app update now enables one or both of the ovens to air fry? I just ordered the all gas double oven range. Can’t wait to start using it!
Is there a lock out mode on the range? I worry about my kids playing with the knobs? I heard you can cut the power off with the app. Do you know if that is true?
This was something we looked into ourselves before buying the range. You can only lock the screen that controls the ovens. You can’t lock the knobs. To control the knobs though, you have to push them in before you can turn them on. My 3 year old hasn’t figured out how to turn them on. As for the app, you can control the ovens but I don’t see an option for the cooktop. Hope that helps!
I am having troubles putting the slide out rack in, can you show how to install? Does it matter which oven it goes into as I have the double oven. Thanks.
We have not made the call. If you look through the comments on this video, another person indicated that the installation is crooked. We haven’t tried to adjust it yet
I have a new gas cafe stove and I am not loving it. Trying to safely lift a 16 lb turkey from the bottom oven is back breaking. I have to straddle the oven door which is almost on the floor to get things out of the oven. So back breaking, burn concerns and then we add a curious dog. Also very few directions, even on line which is why I turned to UA-cam. I would not recommend this stove
You're the Cutest thing but anyways also GE got some great Appliances & they do great Jobs not the best for Storages tho & Oven doesn't light up like what I got
Do not purchase “CAFE” Double oven. It’s “only”beautiful! The metal is made from cheap product. It will scratch from setting in your grates, making it rarely skeptics cleaning it. The burner after using this oven several time will discolor. I’m a single female. I cook 2-3 per week. I’ve tried to contact Ge and has not been successful. I’ve only had this oven 6 months. A waste of money. I purchased the full line of Cafe glass appliances. Please help if you know how to get in contact with the corporate office. Thankd
You do a really good job. The only other con I would say is that you have to squat down to put something in the bottom oven.
Yes, it does take a while to boil water on an electric range. My trick is to boil water in my elecric tea kettle first, then add to water on stove to give a boost. I've had a Maytag Gemini electric double oven for 13 years and love it. Now in new home and want to purchase the oven you have with induction cook top. Thanks for your review. It was helpful.
I placed an order for the induction version. Induction is better than radiant, but more expensive. But it boils water much faster than radiant or gas.
We did look into that one but ultimately decided to go with this one. Hope the induction version works well for you!
Hi Brian.. did you get your range? We are looking at the induction one too.
I would love to know your thoughts on the induction range...
Just today I bought a new cafe Induction double oven. I have a regular electric stove now and YES boiling water takes forever!! I’m so impatient too. Also preheating the oven takes forever! So over it! Can’t wait for my Thursday delivery 😃
It’s so high tech. I love the touchscreen. I can’t believe it has two ovens. So cool. Great for cooks and bakers. We’ve had our gas range since we bought our house and thankfully it’s still good. I’ll have to look into these new ones.
I do like gas ranges but this definitely makes electric worth it. Thanks for stopping by Roxy!
Very nice video and review. We currently have a freestanding Maytag Gemini ‘Double Oven’ that hit just full 9 years November of 2003 and a few things are starting to appear in which a newer purchase may happen in the next couple of years (hopefully) Baking light indicator’s are getting dim to read and technician said parts are no longer available.

Thank you for the compliments! To answer your questions, air fry is only available on the lower oven. The self clean and steam clean is available for both ovens.

There's a good chance the unit wasn't leveled properly. The chassis is thin sheet metal and can bend like a parallelogram, but the doors can't.

I have just ordered the entire cafe series appliances in white for our kitchen remodel. I loved your reviews. Very helpful
That’s exciting! So glad my videos were helpful for you
Just got the same with induction > boils FAST!
Should have gotten the Induction model, that would have solved the water boiling problem.
Thank you for your informative video. Does your oven include an air fryer? I am having a problem enabling it to work. Any suggestions. Thank you again.

Welcome to the future of appliances. I like it.
Lol why thank you!
I have the GE Cafe CC2S950 gas range. From new(2020 or 2021), the front right burner on simmer up to number 2 setting where flame is still low would cause the sensor to think the flame is out and would activate all spark ignitions of all burners 1-2 times every minute.

Sorry I meant no fix from GE

Thanks for the tips!
Nice video the con on boiling water honestly will depend on the type of pans you got. My wife has ballerini and clad pots and one def boils faster than the other.
Once again, a beautiful review, it seems balanced.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
So cool that it connects to your phone, that’s a nice feature! The steam clean option is awesome! The touchscreen is so nice too! I’m sure it makes cooking a lot of fun now! Those bloopers! 😂💕
Yess much more enjoyable 😊 thanks for watching Jill!
It’s the double oven for me!!! Love it!! The bloopers 😂😂
It’s too good. Thanks so much 😘
This is a great great review, you are really good at this types of videos .. keep the great and amazing work .great vibe.. keep it up
Thanks so much! I appreciate it Raf
Its very explaining video also helpful for us..😍
I totally enjoyed watching this.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful
Wow 3 months has flown by! Ohh teach me your ways, I love the "type-writer" feature for the subtitle! OMG the preheating feature from your phone is everything! The light up knobs are super unique, i've never seen that. I would have never noticed the lop sided door butttttt, you're right, once you see it you can't unsee it haha I am sure it bothers you.
I can share a tutorial with you! And yea I def can’t unsee it. Thanks girl 💗
Great review! Following your channel for the updated review after using more features!
Thank you! I’m hoping to do that in the next few months
This is a good one girl, I love to hear more pros than cons! 😊 easy clean and multi use 👍🏻 👍🏻
Thank you! Yess this range is awesome!
I'm definitely in need of another stove/oven, now this one is in my list. Thanks for sharing this review 🙂
Thanks for watching! It’s a great option to consider for sure
Don’t use the self clean on the cafe. We used our and the heat melted the control panel had to it get it replaced. Was told by the tech not to use because it heats up to over 500:degrees.
In my experience with the GE cafe dishwasher, microwave/hood vent and stove. DO NOT buy the dishwasher. Nothing but problems from day one, doesn’t wash well. The microwave is not recommended we’ve replaced parts numerous times. The oven works fine. Good luck if you have the cafe series, you’ll get to know your repair person well.
It'd be great if GE can make the top oven a steam oven
Thank you for the review. How are you liking your range? Does it have the air fryer option?
I still love it and yes, there was an update several months back and it has the air fryer option. I’ve only used it once so far and it works well!
@@BiancaFigz thank you so much for your reply.
Thank you for the great review!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for this reviews. After a few months, are you sitll happy with it?
Yes I am! It made the holidays much easier to have the 2 ovens
I love ours, except I barely learned how to use the temp probe today, overcooked my prime rib for Christmas 😡
Love this appliance. I can’t wait to upgrade
This line of appliances is definitely an upgrade 🙌🏾
Very thorough review. Thanks!!
I hope it was helpful for you!
How did u set the clock on your stove
What is the highest temperature setting for the ovens? Do both ovens have broilers?
The highest temp for both ovens is 550° and only the upper oven has the broiler option. Lower oven does convection bake and roast.
BiancaFigz, thanks!
Hey Bianca!
Thank you for the informative video. You are amazing....
I am thinking of buying the matte white color in the Cafe appliances. What do you think interms of cleaning the stove on the white part in case you have a spill that has turmeric in it? I have used white appliances before but not the matte white one. I was wondering if the turmeric will stain the white part. That's the only concern stopping me from buying it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you! I am not sure about the white version of the appliances. We did not consider the white. I would suggest calling GE or a local appliance store
Have you contacted GE about the lopsided range too over door? Any update? How was their customer service? Thank you for your time.
Wow the light on the range is a nice ...,
It is really nice
Thanks… does your stove have the bread proofing feature?
I recently purchased the same range but accidentally got the knob mixed up when I changed them out for the gold ones can you share what knob goes where
Useful video
Thank you
Can you tell me how to cook the cake in this oven
Thank you! I would suggest baking cakes in the upper oven. Convection (lower oven) is better for pastries
do you still love this slide in range? I am considering purchasing it. Thank you for such a great and thorough review!
Yes I do! I use it daily and have no complaints. Having the double oven is so convenient. Thanks for watching!
I am concerned about lifting heavy things off the Bottom almost on the Floor
Do you have it a lot higher than the counter? Why?
The café double oven that goes into the wall as an option to buy it with steam heating. Did you mention that your café has a steam option? If so, can you use it to clean the oven with steam instead of extreme heat? Does it do a good job cleaning the oven with steam?
Yes it has the steam option. I’ve only used it once and it did clean it well.
Update? Do you still like this range? Pros/cons?
Hello,

Yes, mine has a fan that turns on when the burners are on. It is not loud though. You may want to get yours checked out
Commenting on your cons...

Sure thing!
Wow! I just got the electric one for $4100.
Does the app let you know if the burners are on/off? Does the stainless on base of cooktop scratches easily?
Yes, the app tells you if the burners are on or off but doesn’t specify which one. The stainless steel does scratch if you’re not careful but mainly if something hard or metal-like touches it
induction solves the water boiling problem..
Took some getting used to but yes, induction is a good option for that
Do you have kids? I'm worrying about purchasing one of these slide-ins with lower knobs, vs the knobs on the back like a regular unit. Do you feel they would be easy for little fingers to turn and mess with? Thanks
I do have a child and she’s never tried to touch the knobs. It’s not that easy to turn them. You do have to push in slightly before turning. Hope that helps!
my backlit display stays on all the time how do you change the setting so that it only lights up when prompted
Did you try locking the controls? There’s also an auto shutoff feature under settings. Not positive if that does it but mine is set to on for that
Hey, what is the black trim in the back of the stove and does it have to include that?
Are you referring to the vent/fan? Yes it does. It’s the ventilation system
over $4k today. 😂😢😮 ... i have to rwthink my expectations 😪 🙃. Nice review
Have you roasted a turkey? How big was it and was it tough getting in and out of oven?
I haven’t toasted a whole turkey, only did a turkey breast. I will say that the top oven is not large enough for a turkey. A normal sized Thanksgiving turkey will fit in the bottom convection oven with the center rack removed
You need to use the fast boil feature
I do. I’ve gotten used to it now
Are you still happy with your purchase? How do you feel about having the larger oven so low to the ground?
I do still like the oven range. It doesn’t bother me having the 2nd oven low to the ground. I use the top oven most often.
@@BiancaFigz thanks for the reply.I’m debating as to wether or not to go with the double slide in range. The second oven door just seems a little low to the ground.
Hey can you provide an update for the double oven electric range from the GE cafe line? Thanks!
Is there something specific you’d like to know? It’s still working well for me and I love it! I’d be happy to answer any questions you have
@@BiancaFigz does it bother you to get down so low to the ground to access the lower oven racks?
@@elizabethgahwiler1704 not really. I usually just squat but it’s quick so it doesn’t bother me
How well does the convection do? Does it still cook things well when using baking dishes, or do you have to use flatter baking dishes? I have the Samsung flex duo and don’t like it
Convection bake works well with baking dishes. No complaints!
The fan on the back of the stove only blows air on the right hand side-does your's blow on both sides when using the oven? Thanks
Yes, mine also does the same. I’m thinking maybe one side is intake of air while the other circulates outward but not positive
Thanks for replying!
Omg can’t believe it’s been 3 months already 😳 I love your double oven.
In our old home and other apartment we had with my husband we always had electric stove and I always wanted gas stove and now that we have I love it but it is easier to clean an electric stove 😁
I do love how it has double oven it is very convenient during the holidays.
Oh I see yes you should call for them to fix it the oven door.
And yes it takes longer to boil with electric stoves for sure you’ll get use to it eventually 😁
Haha 😂 nice ending! Lol
I know, it went by so fast! That means it’s been 3 months for you too 🥰 I do miss gas especially when it comes to boiling. Thanks for always supporting friend!
How loud do you find the convection oven? We're looking for one that is quiet. When does the oven make a fan noise (preheat, during normal non-convection bake at all, after oven is turned off...)?
Got a Frigidaire gallery induction stove and we are immediately returning it, because the oven fan is SO LOUD, and I'm having trouble finding reviews on oven noise.
The convection oven is not loud at all. The fan sounds just a little louder than the non-convection oven. The fan starts about halfway through preheat and stays on until the oven cools down after cooking. But even still, I don’t find it loud
@@BiancaFigz That's good to know! Does the fan come on at all during the normal oven mode (non-convection baking)? The Frigidaire had this weird thing where there was a fan cycling on and off every few seconds during normal bake, which I'd never heard of before.
@@BirchCottageGarden yes, there is a fan that does turn off and on during non-convection cooking from the top of the oven in the back of the cooktop but again, it’s not loud
Looks like the previous owner screwed up on the back splash install.
I have a couple of questions. Does the upper oven have a max temperature limit of 350°? And can the ovens be set to a precise temperature setting?
No it goes higher than 350°. I’ve set it to 425° but not sure what the highest is. You use the keypad to set the temp so you can set it to a random number like 354° if you wanted to
@@BiancaFigz Thanks for clarifying that. Another review made it sound like the upper oven had a max limit of 350 degrees. Is it true that a new app update now enables one or both of the ovens to air fry? I just ordered the all gas double oven range. Can’t wait to start using it!
I haven’t seen anything about air frying in my app so I’m not sure!
Sometimes I'll microwave a cup of water til boiling then add it to my pot of water to make it boil faster LOL
Haha hey if it works!
Hello! I am looking to buy this oven - how do you feel about it today? Is it still working well? Thanks :)
Yes, it still works just as good as the day we got it! I really don’t have any complaints. Still love it!
Is there a lock out mode on the range? I worry about my kids playing with the knobs? I heard you can cut the power off with the app. Do you know if that is true?
This was something we looked into ourselves before buying the range. You can only lock the screen that controls the ovens. You can’t lock the knobs. To control the knobs though, you have to push them in before you can turn them on. My 3 year old hasn’t figured out how to turn them on. As for the app, you can control the ovens but I don’t see an option for the cooktop. Hope that helps!
This is a dumb question how do you operate both ovens at same time?
There is an upper oven and a lower oven button so you can set them at different temps and different cooking settings (i.e. bake vs roast)
I am having troubles putting the slide out rack in, can you show how to install? Does it matter which oven it goes into as I have the double oven. Thanks.
Mine came already installed and it’s in the bottom oven so I’m not too sure how to install it
@@BiancaFigz Thanks for replying-work think I got it.
No problem! Glad you got it
What did they end up doing regarding the lopsided oven door?
We have not made the call. If you look through the comments on this video, another person indicated that the installation is crooked. We haven’t tried to adjust it yet
Are the vents in the back of the range functional or just a design?
The outer 2 circulate air and the inner 2 ventilate the 2 ovens
My stove top is working but control panel is not 😢
I’m sorry! Have you tried disconnecting the power source?
Does this have an air fry feature?
Yes it does! It came through as an update in the last couple months
Yo! You’re spoiling her! She’s Asian , she doesn’t need all that !
How do I set my clock on this oven?
Under settings, it’s option 1 then hit 1 again to set it
Thank you .:)
Need to bring the backsplash down a few rows there 😅
I had one of these and the top oven easily burned everything.
How do u take off sabott
Sorry is this a typo? Not sure I understand the question
Is this a self cleaning oven?
Yes it is!
Wow, it's over $4,000 now...
I've never seen this before
It’s a great appliance!
No air fryer?
No, that’s not an option
I have a new gas cafe stove and I am not loving it. Trying to safely lift a 16 lb turkey from the bottom oven is back breaking. I have to straddle the oven door which is almost on the floor to get things out of the oven. So back breaking, burn concerns and then we add a curious dog. Also very few directions, even on line which is why I turned to UA-cam. I would not recommend this stove
Nice range, I would have went with the gas version though.
You're the Cutest thing but anyways also GE got some great Appliances & they do great Jobs not the best for Storages tho & Oven doesn't light up like what I got
“The chef connect... will disconnect” #bars
😂😂
Gas is the only way to go
Do not purchase “CAFE” Double oven. It’s “only”beautiful!
The metal is made from cheap product. It will scratch from setting in your grates, making it rarely skeptics cleaning it. The burner after using this oven several time will discolor. I’m a single female. I cook 2-3 per week. I’ve tried to contact Ge and has not been successful.
I’ve only had this oven 6 months. A waste of money. I purchased the full line of Cafe glass appliances. Please help if you know how to get in contact with the corporate office. Thankd
This oven is a nightmare. I’ve had to replace it twice in a year
