That looks like a high heat output stove that would require a backguard- what do the specifications say?

I just read them 🤦‍♀️ I need to order the 10” riser since it has a grill. Ugh … I wish I read them. I don’t want to use my range now

Well that stinks but better you know now then after it’s scorched. All the professionals involved should have known better and I think the appliance industry is especially guilty of always showing them installed without the back guard because it’s prettier. Scorched quartz is not pretty…

Your kitchen designer owes you a backguard.

Yes you definitely need a back guard and I wouldn't use the range until it is installed. I hope you have high powered hood to handle the grill.

@hallett&co thanks for your input. I had a bad feeling about it.. we had a full granite backsplash in our old kitchen and it didn’t even click that it wasn’t stone like granite until I started reading more on care of counters 🤦‍♀️

@vinmarks i am not going to use it — I am so worried about the scorching!

It looks very nice. I hope it was free

Sadly no, but Pacific Sales where we bought the range gave us a big discount. Great company!

That looks really good! I like the hood a lot too.

Thanks Shannon it’s a Zephyr hood

I would have gotten the backguard that goes all the way up to the hood, that looks really cool.

And then I would have gotten a shelf for it too, to rest salt and pepper.

Make a virtue out of necessity
