Oven range in - Phase 3

So we get the stove plugged in after we got the power source all sorted out (more info about the power plugs / electrical work in this post).

The new Kenmore oven range that we purchased has a smooth ceramic glass top and has 5 cooking elements on the surface. 2 small elements, 1 big element, a simmering / warming element and one with a dual element (big + small). We also went with the black finish just because it looks so much cooler than its white or bisque counterparts.


I have to admit that we did go a little bit over our original budget when we got this model. But we were lured by the sleek look and feel... and really, the one that we were thinking of getting at first (i.e. "the cheapest smooth glass top range") really looked cheap. Kahiya naman. And in our defense, we could've splurged a bit more and gone for the brushed stainless steel finish BUT we opted to go for the smart buy. *proud smiles*


So anyway, after the power was set up and all, we now have a usable range. We still needed to have the micro-range hood installed though, we get reminded about this each time we cook and the whole 1st floor gets filled up with the aroma. Oh, and yes, the huge box that's sitting in the middle of our living room is such an eyesore too.
