There are several things that I am getting used to with the new stove - nothing bad, just different than what I have gotten used to.
There is now another light in the kitchen - the clock display. I am happy to report that the numbers are large enough that I can actually see it from across the room.
The electronic timer - no more twisting of a knob and getting it somewhere close to the time I want. On the old stove, I couldn't actually set the timer for an hour. It would be somewhere close to an hour plus or minus 15 minutes. I normally just set it in 30 minute increments because that was easier. With the electronic timer, I set the exact amount of time (even 1 or 2 minutes) and it does the rest.
The stove knobs - on the old stove it was (left to right) back left burner, front left burner, back right burner, then front burner. On the new stove, the two burners on the right are reversed; front right burner back right burner. Just something I'll have to watch for a little bit.
The electronic ignition - on the old stove, the electronic ignition was instigated by turning the knob all the way counterclockwise. Once the burner was lit, I would turn it clockwise to reduce the flame. With the new stove, the electronic ignition is the first position when the knob is turned counterclockwise. To adjust the flame, I have to turn it counterclockwise some more. Another little thing that will just take a while to get used to.
