Product review (4 stars): value and seemingly sturdy build. I have not had any difficult with ...
This range exceeds all expectations for its appearance, value and seemingly sturdy build.  I have not had any difficult with the manner in which the burners ignite as other reviewers have.  You do have to hold in the knob for about 3 seconds to ensure the flame does not go out but I don't find this annoying.  The burners themselves are powerful and easy to adjust once you get accustomed to the function of the inner and outer rings of fire.  The oven does put out copious amounts of heat into the kitchen through the vent at the top of the oven door and it heats up the control knobs quite a bit.  I guess that is what you get when graduating to this high powered performer.  The oven heats up very quickly and the broiler works great.  I took delivery of the range during a southern California heat wave and the first time I fired up the oven it super heated my kitchen.  This range would be more appreciated during a cold night in Minesotta but probably not where I live where it rarely gets below 40 degrees.  The most troubling aspect to this range and the reason I did not give it 5 stars is the lack of adjustability of the height.  If you compare it to almost every other range in existence you will find that its maximum height adjusted with the feet is below what most installations will require.  So my installer had to custom fit some lumber under the legs of my new 3K range to get it to the proper height. Unacceptable.  I guess the designers were in a coma when they configured the dimensions.  Also, they stupidly fit a HUGE power cable that sticks straight out from the wall plug at least 3 inches making it impossible to slide the range anywhere near to the back wall.  So again, my professional and very astute installer had to run an extension cord. He cautioned me to remove it if I ever need service because F&P would void the warranty. By the way, the flush designed power cord pictured in the F&P manual that would have worked perfectly is no where near the style that is supplied with the range.  Again, a real disappointment from a design perspective.  I got the range for $2999.00 and a promotion included a $600.00 over the range microwave for free.  So this was a real value if you compare it to other brands where the entry point for just the range is probably $3500.00.  I also got the F&P refrigerator and DishDrawer which both work great.  This is a very stylish suite of appliances.
