A: The grates are not a problem. The problem is the black surface under the grates which shows up every stray speck of salt and grease. If you get it in white it is easier to deal with.
A: Yes, you should be able to simmer. The small burner on the rear right side goes to a very low flame. I do find it easy to forget to turn the burner control to the full counter-clockwise position which is the lowest simmer position. With no pan over the burner, you can check this for a low flame still visible with the control turned fully counter-clockwise. If you still have a high flame, then there must be a problem with the gas feed control to the burner requiring calling the seller (if still covered by a purchasing warranty) or Maytag to locate a service technician nearby.
Q: Are the stove knobs plastic? If so has anyone had issues with them?
A: Missy, the Range knobs are made of Weighted-Plastic.
A: There is a convection broiler feature. It works very good. And there is a top burner in oven for broiling as well.
Q: Can you individually light the oven and/or the burners or the pilot light if the power goes out?
A: Hi -, In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to desired setting.
Q: Is there a bottom drawer and will it fit tall pots?
A: Yes, there is a bottom drawer. NO, it will not accommodate tall pots. I keep flat baking pans there.
A: Hello! We are sorry to hear about this concern. Please reach out to Best Buy Customer Care at 1-888-237-8289 for further assistance. We hope this helps.
Q: What materials are used for the grates?
A: Hello AnnG, the grates are Porcelain Coated Cast Grates. Thank you for your inquiry on our Maytag appliances.
