I forgot to add an interesting feature about this range. When we first looked 
at it in the store, Sally noted the figure given in the brochure for its 
depth --- how far out from the wall it would protrude. That figure was in 
inches and fractions, thereof. We had no yardstick at home (duh!) so I had to 
convert it to centimeters. Lo and behold, it came out to 65 cm almost 
exactly. (The error there was ~0.8 mm but the original figure was in cruder 
divisions of an inch, which is about 3 mm, so I think that the inches are 
what got rounded off --- to the nearest eighth.)

By the way, this range also features "six-pass" baking and broiling units and 
more significantly a fan for "Speed Bake" that can reduce cooking times by as 
much as 30 %, according to Fridgidaire claims. Nope, it's not a green stove, 
it's black. Grin.
