Location of Serial No. on Blue Star Range?
Comments (4)IT'S NOT ON THE WEBSITE TO LOCATE WHERE THE SERIAL# IS. But I found that on the 36" range it is under the left front burner - remove it, look left. The data plate on the wall shows the serial number and Model number....See MoreBosch WTV76100CN (24') has no no-heat cycle?
Comments (4)The washer comes with a custom plug that is designed to plug into the dryer. If you want to buy just the washer and plug it into a 240V line in the wall then you need to change the plug. The cheapest way to do this is just to go to the hardware store and buy the correct 240v plug for your wall outlet. Then cut off the factory plug (leave about a foot after the bosch factory plug in case you ever get a Bosch dryer and want to use it) and put on your own. Problem solved. I guess if your not comfortable with doing this then it can be a way for the salesman to try and sell you the dryer. Miele doesn't have the nice box on the dryer, but they do have a splitter that makes two 240V wall outlets from the single one that is normally there for the dryer. Having 240V is really nice as the water heats a lot faster and more efficiently than with a 120V model. You also have hotter wash cycles available if you want. The 120V models have weak heaters or they take longer to heat. I have a Miele W4840 and that is the main drawback to the washer is that it is not a 240V model. The electric dryer is 240V though so now you need to have 240V and 120V outlets in the laundry room. I think Bosch was smart in sticking with the 240V....See MoreWolf DF vs. Thermador Pro Grand DF vs. Miele DF vs. BlueStar ranges
Comments (26)Sorry, just took a look at this thread again and noticed your question...by the time I got to Miele, I had decided on induction, so I didn't give the Miele an actual test drive. I did give it a pretty thorough inspection at the Miele place, though, and thought it was a very sexy range -- and the performance seemed very similar to the Wolf dual fuel. I say that b/c the Miele also has the stacked burners, which I really liked, but the BTUs are higher than Wolf (which top out at around 16k, I believe -- Miele was closer to 20k or so -- I can't quite remember). The Miele ovens on the 48" range were very nice -- the smaller one is a speed oven, and the bigger one is a regular convection. The speed oven wasn't a big plus for me personally, since I really wanted a steam oven as a second oven, but there are people on this forum who love their speed ovens. One thing I really liked about the Miele oven, which Wolf doesn't have, is the burst of steam option, which is great for baking (you can program up to 3 bursts of steam for up to 6 min. each during cooking). I didn't care that much about the MasterChef options on Miele, but again, others love these. At any rate, the Miele seemed very similar to the Wolf, I liked the steam option on the oven better and liked the Miele burners better (also, if you're interested in a grill, theirs was excellent and seemed very similar to the Wolf, which I think is the best in the business). If I had stuck with a range, I would have been very tempted by the Miele....See MoreBlueStar vs. Wolf Vent Hood
Comments (21)It is worth pointing out, I think, that the pressure differential across the blower, called pressure loss, is essentially the same whether the blower is in the hood, at the end of the duct outside, or in a door blowing into an otherwise sealed house. The pressure loss is the sum of all the losses due to friction and turbulence in the duct, duct cap where present, hood transitions, baffles, make-up air system restrictions, etc. Any slight differences in pressure loss with blower position will be due to local transitions where the blower is mounted versus the blower's air flow uniformity at the blower exit. The resulting flow rate will be that which applies to that pressure loss on the fan curve plot. Front of hood deposited grease is due to insufficient overlap and/or insufficient air velocity at the hood aperture. Hoods are generally poor at drawing air from the vicinity of the burners. Most plume capture depends on the plume's upward velocity, mainly driven by the buoyancy of hot grease and water vapor and air. The plume naturally expands as it rises, hence hood aperture overlap is desirable....See Moremuttbarker
