I have a stove with knobs you turn! For now I use a marker to mark settings I use, if later on I go completely blind altogether my plan is too use thumb feely markers! Like 1 for my eye setting 2 for the oven settings. However I hope to keep doing as I am now! -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 9/7/14, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:

My great grand children were here, and I was trying to do something with them and send a message at the same time. Mistake. So, in the process, omehow, only part of my message got sent. Anyway, I don't know if the stove that I have is still available. It is a frigidair, and is a number of years old. I really like it, though, and don't know what I will do when I have to buy another stove. Mine is a flat top. The knobs for the burners turn, and they have little arrows so you can tell where you are turning them. On the front pannel of the stove are a number of buttons, bake, broil, convexion, clean, and a number of others. Also, there is a key pad set up like a phone key pad. So, if you wish to set the oven to 350, you press each of those numbers, and then press start, which is to the right of the zero. The buttons are about finger size, slightly indented, and are a different texture than the rest of the pannel. You don't have to worry about accidentally pressing something that you didn't mean to press, because it takes a little pressure to activate them.

I had quite of time getting mine labeled where I could use it as it is a flat panel which is very sensitive. You can get something to beep without meaning to. At least it makes a sound so that I know I've done something. If it's not the something I intended, I have to start over. Wish they still had the pressure sensitive panels but I couldn't find one. There's a long story to this one too and I won't bore you all with it. Just suffice it to say we were able to make it useable for a blind person. Is it ideal, no.

My great grand children are here, and I think that in the process of doing something with them, along with trying to send a message, I'm not sure what happened. Shows that I should keep my mind on one thing at a time. Anyway, now, back to my stove. I have had it a number of years, so I don't even know if they still make on like it or not. It is made by frigidair. It is a flat top stove. On the front pannel of the stove, there a number of buttons, bake, broil, convexion, clean, and several others. There is also a number pad set up like a phone key pad, with clear to the left of zero, and start to the right. So, if you wish to bake something at 350, you would press those numbers on the key pad and then press start. The buttons are finger size flat round buttons which are slightly indented, and are a different texture than the rest of the pannel. They are also easy to label in braille, as you might want to do, since ther a number of buttons. And, as I said before, you don't have to worry about accidentally pressing something that you didn't mean to press, because you have to press them pretty firmly to activate them. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2014 17:57:27 -0500 From: "Betty Emmons" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>, "Charles Rivard" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] macaroni and cheese without the stovetop?
