stoves [RE-wrenches]

[Jeffrey Wolfe, Global Resources]

Peerless units are idnetical in the burner and oven function. They work 
well, we have two of them. The cheap units have gas pilots, and tend to 
look a little shoddy. The better units are comparable to Roper and other 
standard residential units. They also now have stainless steel units for 
your "high end" customers.

We have a Roper residential unit, I think. Came with the house. Electric
igniters on both top and oven; for the oven the igniter lights the pilot,
and a minute or two later the pilot lights the burner. No glow bar. I wired
in a wall switch for the AC cord. To light a burner, we flip the wall 
switch
then light up. Works well. In the summer we leave the switch on to burn up
all those surplus electrons...
Only problem we've had was that the former owner never baked and thought 
the
oven had stopped working. It took lots of baking before the mice that moved
in stopped smelling.
