Ok a Big Oops this should be 36" and 36" or I will have a really big kitchen sorry for the mistake thought I had corrected it but somehow it didn't post correctly.

We have had the Verona 36 inch double oven with 5 gas burners for a few years now. I really like the option of having 2 ovens and while I don't always use both, it is really handy when you need it. I have not had issues with food not fitting in the smaller sized oven (or maybe I am used to compensating for it). Pros are that I like the way it looks and its compact design. I like the different options to use regular bake, convection, etc. Some cons: I had to buy new pans that will fit into the smaller ovens (not a big deal but just something to think about). By far the most annoying thing with the ovens is their preheat time. I used to have a GE that probably took 5-10 minutes? This thing takes about 20 minutes to preheat. Its very very annoying and I find I have to plan around this preheat time all the time. Same with broiling. You may spend 20 minutes to get the broil up to temp and only 5 minutes broiling. If it had to do it all over again I might actually go for the GE just to get over this preheat issue.

OK - I looked at the installation manual and you have two options - the backguard which is 8" high (that's what's shown in the picture on the AJ Madison web page), and the island trim which is only 3" high. Obviously in your case, you'd want the island trim not the backguard. The web page says island trim optional - which probably means that it has to be ordered as an extra. By the way, you really should check your local building code about putting the light switch there. Despite what you SO wants, it may well be against code.

Your info on the range will tll you and BTW this should have been addressed before buying the range.Is this on an outside wall ? Everytime ducting needs to turn you will need more CFM. too
