The granite people came today and did such a fantastic job shaving off about 3/4 of an inch of granite in the hole and helped us slide in the stovetop. And afterwards, Jeremy connected the 220 V to it (with some texting help from our electrician who assured us that we could attach it ourselves and if we had any questions to ask him and, of course, we had questions (what does the white wire do?)). And we inaugurated it by boiling a pan of water!
So hooray for us! We installed it ourselves (kind of)- with help from the electrician, plumber and stone folks. Haha, so hardly ourselves, but as Jeremy said, we were the general contractors. And now, one fewer gas appliance. As we slowly wean ourselves off of gas (both natural and automotive) and towards electric.
And, also yes, our stove has an app. And is wifi/bluetooth enabled. wtf? really.
I guess I could see being able to check to see if the stove is turned off if you leave the house as being a good feature? I don’t know. Our only smart appliance is the HVAC and that is useful to be able to turn on and off when we’re not there.
