Stove grate has been damaged, and countertop got excessively hot
I took this baby for a test drive on my brand new 6-burner stove this evening. I put it on the left-front burner, and cranked it to max, checking the temperature periodically with my digital temperature gun. After pre-heating, 750°F as promised – awesome. Pizzas cooked to perfection in 2 minutes, and turned out great. I was immediately delighted with this appliance.
While cleaning up some time later, I found my stone countertop near the stove was too hot to touch, and created steam when I wiped it down with a wet cloth. Once everything had cooled down, I noticed the finish on my cast iron stove grate had blistered, and when I wiped it down, the finish began to chip away.
I really wanted to love this thing, and in fact I did love it for a brief moment, but I don't think I can use it again. When used as directed, surrounding surfaces got dangerously hot, and I apparently exceeded the temperature tolerance of my stove grate. I'll be following up with my stove retailer and the manufacturer for guidance.
Your mileage may vary, but I for one would urge my friends to be careful with this appliance.
