In St. Louis, Missouri Period Restoration, a company specializing in historic restoration, sought out to restore the early 1900s home. “The house was in the same family since the 1950s and was given to one of the kids to whom then let it go. It was in severe disrepair and required a major restoration,” said Randy Renner of Period Restoration.

The goal of the renovation was to preserve many of the older, more historic features of the exterior such as the wood windows, slate/tile roofing and copper work while upgrading the interior elements yet still keeping it consistent with the time period. “Kitchens of course are the main thing everyone cares about so the look we achieved on [the Pershing project] was great,” said Renner. “Subway tile throughout, with a copper hood. Not a lot of wall cabinets (period) and counterparts that would be similar to what was around in the early 1900s.”

The kitchen was completed with 36” Verona Dual Fuel Single Oven Range in Matte Black. Period Restoration prides themselves in keeping all of their projects time period correct, and making sure every detail aligns with that vision. “[We are] very mindful of each houses’ style and architecture when doing a kitchen” said Renner. “Our vision for the kitchen lined up with the looks of the Verona range.”

Thank you, Randy and Period Restoration for sharing your Verona Renovation Story and transformation images.

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:

VEFSGE 365 NSS cooktop

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 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.

Verona 30" 110v Wall Oven

Verona 30″ 110v Wall Oven

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.
