Product review (1 stars): Major safety issue!
I guess if you don't do much baking, this is a good range. It looks fantastic, the burners are great, and the bottom oven seems to bake well. But oh, the top oven. This is a major disaster, and I simply don't understand how GE gets away with selling this model. Read the reviews scattered around the web about the top control panel getting very hot: they are true. I suspect this might only happen if you bake for some length of time in the top oven, or open and close it frequently to transfer or check on items. I spent 2-3 hours baking several quiches and trays of cookies, taking things in and out, and the entire top panel got blisteringly hot (and I don't say that figuratively - it actually blistered my hand when I touched it). All the knobs, as well as the metal panel behind it got this hot. It got so hot, it melted the plastic rings around the knobs, which are now brittle and puckered and unsightly. I'd frankly be scared to use this in my house again with children (especially since one can't easily see that the oven is even on), and scared to cook on the stovetop myself if the oven is on, for fear of accidentally touching the front panel. Worst of all, since we ordered this unit in advance of a kitchen remodel and only started using it about 6 weeks after purchase, the seller is now refusing to allow us to return it, since they have a 30-day return policy. We're now pursuing a remedy directly with GE, but one way or the other, this appliance is leaving the house!
