Whirlpool GW395LEP slide-in gas range
Date Published: 2/7/07
The Whirlpool GW395LEP slide-in gas range takes inspiration from some of the world's most expensive luxury kitchen appliances and brings some of their best features to your fingertips.
The GW395LEP's biggest nod to the luxury models has to be its full-width cast-iron burner grates. Until just recently this feature was unheard of on models unless they ran many thousands of dollars. These full-width grates are not only appealing to the eye, but are also designed to function better. Large pots and pans can be moved easily from one burner to another thanks to the level cooking surface they provide. Never again will you knock a small, loose grate askew with a heavy soup pot.
These full-width cast-iron burners are not only easy to use for cooking, they are also far less of a hassle to clean than the gas burners of days gone by. Each burner is sealed, so there is no need to take it apart for cleaning. You simply remove the grates and wipe the burner and cooking surface clean.
Truly versatile burners offer sufficient variation for preparing most stovetop dishes. Choose from a large burner featuring up to 14,000 Btu, a moderately powered burner of 12,000 Btu, or two burners of 6,000 Btu apiece. With a far greater range of power than models sold at this price just a few short years ago, this Whirlpool model once again follows the path of the luxury ranges.
Striking in design as well as versatile, the GY395LEP makes a perfect choice for a kitchen where the focus is on a seamless and integrated look. With a low profile, this unit meshes perfectly with cabinetry whether placed against the wall or nestled in an island.
Below the cooking surface, you'll find an oven as spacious as any other in this price range. Its controls are electronic, and the temperature stays stable enough to ensure accurate baking and roasting. Broiling is done right in the main oven, with a feature that allows customizing to the temperature of your choice from 170 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Beautiful to look at and a pleasure to use, the Whirlpool GW395LEP slide-in gas range is an excellent value offered in a full range of popular appliance colors.
