Got my new oven!

[philcobendixduo]

After not having a working oven since January, I finally found a new oven to replace my 25 year-old Roper.
I went to "Pacific Sales" on 11/22 and found this KitchenAid "Superba" 24" convection oven for 60% off the original retail price.
It was a "floor model" at a store in Arizona that closed. Only one small flaw on the inner door-nothing else.
Not the most recent model but for $806 instead of $2200 I JUMPED on it!
Model KEBC247 - both ovens self-cleaning, convection and temp probe in upper oven.
So far, I'm LOVING it!
I DO know that some have had issues with the self-cleaning cycle causing the thermal fuse to "blow" but I think it has a lot to do with the oven installation and the cabinet.
I bought an extended warranty because of this so I'll keep my fingers crossed the first time I use the cleaning cycle!

Congratulations!

I think that's the exact model we have -- it looks the same. Didn't know it was still available. We have not had any problems with the clean cycle.

Looks like you got a bargain. Congratulations.

How much taller inside is the upper oven compared to the lower oven? From the outside, there looks to be some difference.

Same Size

It's a "trick of the camera" - both ovens are the same size (both doors the same height).

This oven in not a "current" model which is why I got it for 60% off the retail price.

I'm THRILLED because it is the oven I truly wanted but couldn't justify paying over $2k for!

I'll see how it does with my standing beef rib roast (prime rib) on New Year's Day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Just a

quick reminder...........please heed the suggestion in the Use and Care guide; to NOT use foil or other types of liners on the floor of the ovens. Doing so will result in permanent damage to the porcelain.

Enjoy you oven!

L.P.

Leslie, do you mean a permanent "aluminizing" of the porcelain when the intense heat coming through the liner from the concealed bake elements fuses the foil to the porcelain?
