Steve, I am 99% sure that is NOT a Superba model, but the model below. The superba would have had Soak 'n' Scrub instead of Heavy.
See I'm certified as NOT DIRTY. LOL
CORRECT!
This is the KA BOL. $350 from $700 due to a small scratch in the upper right-hand corner of the access panel. It is strategically hidden under the *CERTIFIED clean / drity* magnet.

All gone!
Of course I hit it up with some *magic* appliance paint too.
(The salesperson threw in a bottle for free. Resembles a white-out bottle)
Not too visible any longer.
Is posting the price tacky? Sorry, didn't mean to be obnoxious.

I saw either a GE or Frigidaire wall oven a while back that had a lift off porcelain baffle over the bake element. I guess it gave the appearance of a concealed bake element, but what's the big craze (ha-ha as in crazed porcelain)over not seeing the bake element? At least the removable baffle could be replaced when it develops complexion problems. I wonder if this madness is the result of nervous nellies in the government trying to protect consumers from themselves. Long ago a very wise decision was made that the bake element had to either be shielded at the front or the middle of the front had to bow back in to prevent burns and pot holder fires when the lower oven rack was pulled out and contact with the hot bake element was possible when the element ran straight across the edge of the oven cavity. If this is a further refinement on that it is assinine.
About gas ovens: Old gas stoves, like before the 60s in many cases, had a cast iron spreader plate over the burner. This took the brunt of the flame and heated up evenly while allowing the heat from the flame to travel to the sides and up into the oven through the gap on each side and such holes as were deemed necessary in the porcelain tray that formed the bottom of the oven liner. That is, if the burner was in adjustment so that the flame was even on both sides which was usually easily adjusted by the "gas man." Newer stoves, like Toggle's Amana now have a steel flame spreader. Sometimes the steel is not thick enough and it warps unevenly which can ruin the baking.

I have nearly ignited more than one pot-holder on the electric broiler element, till I got used to it!
The lower element front bow-back is a beautiful and necessary thing!

LG Ranges
I sell the GE,Maytag,JennAir,and LG products.If you open all 4 brand's ovens as well as their "warming drawers"the verry first thing you notice is the heavier steel wall,base and frame as well as the thicker porcelain finish on the oven interior and broil pan.The convection fan in the back not only blows the hot air forward but also has openings in the left and right sides to help evenly distribute the heat.I spoke to Mel,our LG rep and she said that if there was a concern about drippings on the bottom of the oven,there is no problem laying a strip of aluminium foil there to catch spillage.It would have no effect on the heat distribution convention or convection.GE and Maytag give only a 1 year manufacturer's warranty.LG is covered for 5 years on heating/baking elements and convection parts,electronic controls are covered for 2 years and if you want,you can get the extended coverage(4 years parts and labor)added on to the manufacturer's 1st year for only $89.99.The 2 guys I sold my first one to own a French Bestro' in Winter Park and came back to tell me they owned a GE Profile at their last home and liked it but that between that and the LG the biggest differences they noticed was the lower price,more accurate cooktop temperature control and more even heat distribution especially with sufle'recipes.They also like the automatic covection conversion as well as the warming drawer where the place their crescents in the morning straight out of the oven covered with a cloth napkin to keep them fresh and warm.

Two guys huh?
LOL FIGURES They'd go after something of quality and different.

GAS OVENS!!!!
I've always had electric oven, in the two ranges (1 MagicChef, 2 Tecnogas) I owned in my life (gas burners/electric oven), but since I've been discovering gas oven some months ago in a friend of mine's house, I CONVERTED SOON MY OPINION ONTO GAS OVEN!!!
I found that cooking with gas oven is faster than electric one, really I found it faster than the microwave oven too! I was preparing some dinner meals and using both ovens I found the range's gas onev one faster...
I speak about natural gas ("metano"), not about GPL ("propano") that is another thing, worse I suppose as it has a heating power slower and to reach the same results you consume more and it takes you longer
Someone says that gas oven tend to burn meals (underside)if you are not care to the cooking level, but I think this is to be attributing to the old gas oven, wiht a not very good burning control... now they should be electronic, isn't it?!?!?
Anyway if you're good at cooking you do it either with electric than gas oven LOL!
So I decided to suggest my father to put in our holidays house (wihc is to be remoulded), a gas range! With only one appliace we should not to by a microwave oven more than a reange with elecrtic oven.
REMEBER THAT natural GAS ARE GENERALLY CHEAPER THAN ELECTRICITY!
GoodBye

PS: The same is for smoothtop, gas is better! As I have alwasy cooked on gas burners....

gas cooking
Natural gas may be cheaper but is more wastefull as far as cooking fuel is concerned and a whole lot more dangerous!It isn't often I hear of a home exploding from an electric range with a mechanical problen i.e.hole in the fuel line.and while cooking with gas may seam to be a lot more convenient,those who have gas cooking equipment MUST also be sure they have proper ventalation throughout the entire home due to the fact that gas flames excreat carbon monoxide fuems which are deadly and have no smell at all.electric cooking is cleaner,safer,more efficient and being one who grew up in an all gas home who has been converted now for almost 30 years,I have no regrets at all.I do 90% of the cooking among 4 people and never have the smoke alarm go off,never have to clean up grease build up,never have to relight a pilot,and can program my oven to start a meal and cook it completely shutting itself off automaticaly without me even having to be there.My 1962 Magig Chef gas range could never do any of that.

EVERYTHING and every decision in life has pros and cons. It just depends on what weighs most heavily to the decision-maker.
Builders rpooutinely add ELECTRIC hook-ups for dryers even in homes that have methane(natural gas) or bottled LP gas (propane).
SAD.
From the users' perspective no difference. But GAS IMHO is better fo the environment, generally. Of course where gas is neither avaialble, nor convenient, nor inexpensive compared to electric, then electric dryers make sense.......
