Verona Helps Complete An Atlanta Bungalow Renovation

by

Verona Appliances has helped transform a formally cluttered kitchen into a trendy entertainment destination.

In Atlanta, Georgia Level Team Contracting designed and re-built a 1925 bungalow, which had never before been renovated. When the team first purchased the home, they knew that they were about to take on a very large project. “The house was an absolute mess when we purchased it.  The previous owners were hoarders and it was filthy, it hadn’t been renovated in many decades,” said owner J.R. Torbert of Level Team Contracting.

The goal of the renovation was to create a great house that would be suitable for hosting parties and entertaining guests, since the house is located in a trendy and walk-able area of Atlanta. “On the inside, we designed a more contemporary open layout with traditional finishes.  On the outside, we kept the design details consistent with the neighborhood aesthetic and the original 1920’s construction period.”

The kitchen was completed with 36” Verona Pro-Style Dual Fuel range with an 8” backguard and professional tubular handle. Level Team Contracting prides themselves on being ahead of the curve in design, style and technology. “We chose the Verona because it was a professional 36″ range that looked great and was also affordable. The transformation was amazing and turned into a 1+ million dollar sale.”

VERONA Professional Ranges offer exclusive culinary features

by

Verona’s stylish line of pro-style dual fuel, gas, or electric ranges as well as built-in ovens and cooktops add beauty and efficiency to any kitchen. Here are three exclusive culinary features that take cooking to the next level:

A better burner design – closer to the grate

Efficient Verona burner heads are mounted close to the cooking surface in order to deliver better heat transfer and more even distribution. Additionally, the high output double and triple ring burners allow for a faster high temperature boil. When lowered, the BTUs allow for an all-around even simmer. These elements utilize less fuel, providing cooking that is both safe and efficient.

True European Convection Ovens

The dual fuel and fully electric ovens are equipped with true European convection. The third fan in the oven pre-heats the air that is circulated in the cavity to achieve consistent temperature. With true convection, multiple dishes can be cooked at once without the fear of flavor transfer, saving time in the kitchen.

Flame Failure Safety Shut Off

For added safety, all Verona ranges have an exclusive Flame Failure Safety system to shut off gas flow in the event that a flame is extinguished. While other ovens may signal an issue with a “clicking noise” – they still emit gas when the flame is out – creating a potentially dangerous situation. In addition, Verona’s durable and heavy-duty triple-pane glass doors keep heat in the oven cavity, while still remaining cool to the touch on the outside to keep families safe from burns.

In addition, Verona professional ranges offer quiet close hinges as well as the only fully electric 36” range on the market.

Verona offers high performance 110V ovens

Verona 24″ 110V Wall Oven

Verona Appliances offers the only 110-volt electric ovens for consumers who may not have the option of a typical 220-volt oven. The ovens, which come in both 30” and 24” stainless steel options, only require 20 amps of service, yet perform with all of the power needed for professional results.

The ovens feature electronic controls, convection fan and a 350-degree pre-heat in as fast as 16 minutes. The knobs are chrome, making them durable and easy to clean.

The ovens are equipped with eight functional cooking modes including convection bake and broil, traditional bake and broil, and a useful thaw mode. Each preparation option is unique for achieving the perfect dish every time.

The 3-pane heat resistant glass door effectively traps heat inside of the oven and keeps the door safely cool to the touch.

The closed-door broil makes this a perfect option for smaller homes and apartments, avoiding the excess heat that is released into the home during an open door broiler.

The 30” and 24” ovens are ideal for homes and apartments without 220-volt connections. It’s a safety hazard to use higher voltage appliances in 110-volt environments because when these outlets are overloaded, they can damage appliances or even burn down a home. In addition to the wall ovens, Verona offers a 12” 110-volt electric cooktop with a deluxe black ceramic top.
