This is indeed the reality of this range. I clean mine about once a week and in between times it's spattered and streaked but I don't really notice unless I'm actually looking for it. The streaks on the black beneath the burners don't bother me at all given that once I get all those grates on top I don't notice them anyway. My burners and grates are definitely discoloured and stained (I've had the range working hard for about a month) but honestly, what do you expect from something that you cook on? It's going to get dirty and truth be told, it's a pain to clean. It's never, ever going to look like the day you bought it; but neither would any other range I'd imagine. The only way to avoid streaks and marks on the porcelain, burners and grates is to simply not cook on it.

So Dave......I take it that you are enjoying the Wolf? Anything that I should watch for? Mine is to arrive in about a month....

Hey Marion. Yes, I'm thoroughly enjoying the new Wolf. My latest thing is the broiler - wow - it is a very powerful and beautiful thing. I like the burners a lot. Unfortunately, I realized yesterday that the oven is 25 degrees lower than it claims and I found quite a lot of condensation in the window today while preheating the oven, which other people have dealt with in the past. I guess I'll have to call Wolf and ask about it. But, in terms of actually cooking and baking with it; it's amazing. It really is a bit of a pig to clean, but otherwise, I love it.
