Nice looking oven

A note on self-installation: the oven's gas line that is already attached does not fit the recommended gas line that is advertised as needed for installation. We bought it when we placed the order for the stove, trying to ensure we had what was needed for an installer. Instead, that connector didn't work when we decided to install it ourselves. My husband had to make a trip to the hardware store to get another line that swiveled and fit. The first time it was connected and turned on we smelled gas. The gas line was re-connected and no more gas smell. We had the gas company come out to check the connectors before we used it so that we were sure there were no more leaks. You may want to remove the oven's attached hose and replace it with a type that does fit the connector on the oven and your permanent gas line connector so that you don't end up with our issue. We already had the oven in place and it would have been extremely difficult to remove it, so now there are two hoses connected which the gas company didn't like, but it was safe! After not having a regular oven for a couple of years, I purchased this to replace a broken one. We are very limited to the width without an entire cabinet rebuild, so this model fit the bill. I baked in it the day after installation and tested out it's functions. Right away, I discovered that the back of the oven does heat hotter than the front(on regular bake cycle), which I've found typical of most gas ovens, so I made adjustments to my way of baking sheets of cookies. One of the other things, the thing I like least, is that the oven seems to get hotter and bake faster after multiple sheets of cookies are baked. Each time, I had to reduce baking time to keep them from overbrowning. What I really do like is the electric broil function, it works great, and I had not noticed as one of the features when looking online before purchase. I also used the proofing function for frozen bread rolls, and it worked well, heats to 100 degrees. Besides cookies, I baked a meatloaf and it cooked perfectly in the allotted time frame. I also used convection bake function for a particular flat bar cookie recipe that's supposed to be somewhat dry, and it browned very well, although I had to keep an eye on the time and bake for a shorter time than usual.Another thing, I'm used to having a drawer that pulls out below the oven, and there's a shelf space there, but you can only place things in there and not have a pull-out.Overall, I'm satisfied with the functions I've tried, but have not yet tried to use the air fry mode.
