Love your kitchen! Are you still loving your stove? Also, your vent above the stove-can you tell me where you got it? I don’t want to lose the cabinets above my stove, as much as I’d love a fancy vent hood.

I have had this stove for the last 10 months. There aren’t many online reviews so I would like to tell anybody that is interested in this range that we have been very unhappy with the stove. Since purchase, oven thermostat, two thermocouples and an igniter have been replaced. Oven temperatures are again all over the place. Probably going to place another service request. It looks beautiful and cooks fantastic pizza(really, miles ahead of any other home oven I have used) but other than that I do not have anything else positive to say. It feels cheaply made. The steel stove surface is thin gauge steel and and already discolored around the hobs. The oven cooling fan is unnecessarily loud and blows warm air from the front of the oven right on your legs. While igniting the stove top, you need to hold down the knob 4-5 seconds, and when the oven is on, the surface around the electronic clock module is almost too hot to touch, feels like touching a radiator. Makes me think electronics may not last long because of excessive heat in the area. Also if you are in USA and thinking about buying one, I suggest first check the closest place that can provide service for this stove.

Do you find it more difficult to bake cakes or breads and have them come out properly cooked? Also, i noticed in previous videos that you had a Bosch range. I am in need of a 24 inch single wall oven, and am having trouble finding a suitable one for my baking needs. I like the reviews on the Bosch 24 inch 500 Series, but the interior is so small. The interior height is only 14 inches. Can you offer any advice on a reliable brand of wall oven? I know that you do a lot of baking. I look forward to your reply, and I thank you.

I guess I am so old-fashioned, I haven't missed gliding rails. However, it looks like they are included with certain sizes (36", 48" and 60" ranges).

do all the burner pilot igniters spark at once, or just the one you are lighting? In conventional oven mode, is there a fan running during cooking.

Hey, follow Ilve-owner! The oven control buttons are a bit more involved (you can probably search for KZread videos on those) but to turn on the oven, you have to do the following: turn the temperature knob to the desired setting AND turn the oven function knob (on my stove it's the one furthest on the right) to either grill, convection or conventional mode.

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.
