To clarify the question - the knobs are CHROME plated. They are not a solid metal piece. The grates are cast iron. Here is a link that might be useful: Verona Home Page

If you have a Bosch Benchmark or 800 Dual Fuel slide-in range, does it have the delay start feature? The manual doesn't mention it. I need to be able to set an oven start time, so if it doesn't have that feature, I'll stick with my GE Cafe DF. Also, can you light the burner manually during a power outage? That's another thing the manual doesn't mention, and when I called Bosch, they said they think it does.

We just received our FORNO 36 inch Capriasca . I haven't cooked too much yet because we are older and I don't cook like I used to SO far I love the burners compared to my ELECTROLUX which was in the house when we bought it. It actually simmers!! The oven confuses me. I never cooked with convection on either oven but determined to learn. The bread I baked came out perfect. The range is beautiful. My biggest con is the heavy grates- too heavy to clean with ease. The grates I wanted were on the Monogram range but started at $10,000. I looked at everything for the size we had to have. It is not self cleaning either. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS GETTING A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TO ASK A QUESTION.Where do you go??? The knobs do tend to get hot but nothing that bothers me so far. There is no convection roast just convection low bake, high bake and convection broil- ALso regular low bake. I need to experiment I guess. For the price so far so good. BTW it cost us $700 to get a company t install it. It is a custom install. What a lesson. THAT would have been the case with any range because it was dual fuel and hard wired in back. Had one delivered from home depot and I paid for installation and when they got here w the GE. they said they could not install. I told them to take it back. Same with Costco. I like this range for the price better anyway. Wish there were you tube videos for these but nothing. The banana bread came out perfect. Bake breads like that on low bake at reg settings.

Just moved into a home with a Verona oven. Have the owners manual but not answering specific questions... maybe someone here can? I purchased an internal oven thermometer since the Verona doesn’t have a digital temp readout. So that has helped... can anyone tell me which setting they use for baking? bake, conv bake, fan oven,? and which rack do you bake on? I’m doing ok with cooking...it’s just the baking (which is more precise) any helpful hints/tips are much appreciated! Thank you!
