Late 70s early 80s dropin JennAir range 
They sold a lot of these. It was a very versatile cooking Appliance, but had lots of limitations as well such as a small non-self cleaning oven.
This product was long gone by the 90s when they upgraded their drop-in ranges to a self cleaning oven and a larger oven Neat to see one of these new in the box we have one in the museum kitchen, they made ventless version with an electrostatic air cleaner, which is what we have at the museum.

 We bought a new dual fuel version of this in 1990, but it was a slide-in version. The convection option on the large oven worked better than the two ovens we've owned since, but the grates for the gas burners were flimsy and noisy, and the hottest one only put out 10K BTU. We bought an extra module with two more burners since we rarely used the grill. Even on the lower speed, the exhaust fan distorted the flame for the grill, and our outdoor grill did a better job anyway. | ||

Jen, air gas, downdraft, cooktops
Unfortunately, JennAirs were engineered as an electric range, and the gas cooktops and the dual fuel stove top never really cut it. They all had the problems. Ralph mentioned they were under powered and cooked on evenly. The gas grill feature did not work nearly as well as the electric one either.
Thankfully, the world is moving back to electric ranges. John L | ||

We used to have a 1990 Jenn-Air S136, it got replaced a few years ago by an LG because one parent wanted a double oven with a convection. Well we already have another oven which is a Whirlpool RB260PXXB (also from 1990) and I'm not a fan of convections. I sure do miss it, it was better than the LG. But at least ever since we got rid of it, we haven't had any new mice in the house as they'd crawl into the vent. If I ever see one of these that's NIB, I'm getting it and replace the LG.
