Welcome Tulsaguy! Beautiful Kitchen! thanks for the pics!

great - thanks!

Thanks for sharing. I love that range. You were right to keep the dishwasher. Shortly after that beauty was built, all US dishwashers were "dumbed" down to a really poor design. The dishwasher and washing machine are two appliances which really require the manufacturer to invest solid money in order to produce a good product - and that just didn't fit into the mentality of the day. Now that the European machines are beginning to make a dent - and let's not forget LG - there are signs the US makers are beginning to wake up. At least they have started importing good stuff and rebadging it. Möge die Götter verhindern, sie stellen es selbst her...

(May the gods prevent them from making it themselves...sorry

...my mistake. Sorry, folks.
That floor is just the bee's knees. Would it be easier to keep clean if you used an anti-static on it? Might cut the dirt attraction a bit.

Bob I should have been more specific, but I was giddy at the time. Yes only the "main" oven is P7. I don't think the "companion" ovens ever were self-clean. There probably is an arrangement to remove the liners of the companion oven and clean them in the main oven. I know GE had that setup with the Americana-style ranges. Again, why don't they make anything like this anymore! WAH!

Luis, congratulations and welcome. You are so lucky to have one of the last of the GE top of the line 40 inch ranges. Because kitchens became smaller and had better counterspace, the 40 inch ranges were no longer as popular as they had been in the 40s, 50s and into the 60s, so GE stopped making them and now a GE 40 inch range is a Kelvinator-design made by (what is the name today) White? no, Frigi? no, Electrolux? maybe. They have a side swing door on the companion oven and, compared to the quality of yours, are ready for recycling the day that they roll off the assembly line. I know that you will take very good care of that stove because there is no replacing it. I like your cabinets also. Have fun here.

Give me a 24 inch self-cleaning (P7 = pyrolytic) on the right and the balance of space on the left-side oven and I'm happy.
(One would be little smaller than it was and the other a little larger than it actaully existed). Heck, I'd even take two 20 inch ovens and not complain.

BTW=> I see that Sears has 24 inch wide (60cm) pyrolytic self-clean electric ovens with a smooth-top (vitro-ceram) YAY.

Dual fuel

40 incher (1 meter)

We won't tell anyone that electrictty is not a fuel, (even though it is a modern version of *fire*), it is an energy source.
