A:AnswerWe are terribly sorry to hear this Caligirl. We are attaching the link to the use and care guide which should answer all of your questions moving forward. https://www.whirlpool.com/content/dam/global/documents/201804/use-and-care-w11102916c.pdf
A:AnswerI'm not sure about the total BTU, It should be in the product specs. However we don't have a range hood, we utilize a microwave above with an exhaust fan and light on the bottom and that has been just fine. So if your considering a range hood, a standard hood should be adequate to use with this range.
A:AnswerOur experience has been similar in that the oven cycles on and off pretty often. My last range didn't but also did not maintain a constant temperature. This was a deal breaker for us. So I believe this range is designed for precision baking at a specific temp and needs to cycle on and off often. In our experience we consider this a great design.
A:AnswerYes, the Range does have the option of delay start. When using the Delay start, when the set cook time ends, the oven will shut off automatically. For more information on cooking times, please see page 11 of the Use and Care guide: https://www.whirlpool.com/content/dam/global/documents/201804/use-and-care-w11102916c.pdf.

However, you may review your local codes for proper installation in your area. Thank you for your inquiry on our Whirlpool appliances.

A:Answerwilliam, the Range comes equipped for use with Natural Gas. In order to use with propane (L.P.) you would need to convert the surface burners and oven from natural gas to L.P. More information on gas conversion can be found in the installation instructions, https://bit.ly/2J4HXo3.

A:AnswerKeeping a gas range clean does require more care. There are likely many unique methods for cleaning. We never use an abrasive scrubber or harsh cleaners with oils. We have used wash cloth size microfiber towels to prevent lint from being left behind. We wipe the stove top and grates down with a warm soapy wet towel and dry them with a dry microfiber towel. This method we have found to be the easiest and most efficient, ensuring both the stove top is dry and shiny and the grates as with any cast iron are dry to prevent rust. Our stove looks as good as the day we got it.
