At a glance

A BlueStar 6-burner professional gas range under a 1200 CFM Zephyr Siena Pro wall hood, a full-size Electrolux ICON refrigerator + freezer column pair (confirmed by badge), a built-in microwave drawer, a dishwasher, an InSinkErator garbage disposal, an apron-front sink with a pro-style pull-down faucet, and a walk-in pantry. It all conveys.

Where
Main floor, open to the great room on one side and the formal dining room / butler’s pantry & bar on the other (see the Bar & Butler’s Pantry page).
Must know
The range has open gas burners with no continuous pilot — each burner is lit by a spark igniter when you turn the knob. The hood is powerful enough that a make-up-air question is worth resolving at walkthrough (see Deep dive).
Status
Installed and in daily use. The BlueStar range (exact model + serial) and the Zephyr Siena Pro range hood (exact model) are now certain — both read directly off factory tags/cartons photographed at install, no longer guesses. The dishwasher is confirmed Bosch 800 Series, but its exact model is an unresolved conflict between two sources (a build-era factory label vs. a 2026 photo fingerprint) — see the chip in Specs. A previously undocumented InSinkErator Badger 5 garbage disposal is now covered below. Refrigerator/freezer and microwave drawer model numbers are still not confirmed against a rating plate — see the chips below.

2Everyday use

You don’t need to know anything about BTUs to cook dinner — turn a knob, get a flame. The two things worth knowing on day one are the simmer burner and the hood.

Lighting a burner

  1. Push in and turn any knob to Lite — you’ll hear/see the igniter spark and the burner will catch. Hold the knob in for a second on a cold start if it doesn’t catch immediately.
  2. Turn past Lite to set the flame height. These are open burners — the flame is visible around the whole ring, and it responds instantly (this is the main reason people love pro ranges: no lag between turning the knob and the heat changing).
  3. To turn off, turn the knob back to Off — the flame extinguishes immediately (there’s no standing pilot to worry about).

The simmer burner

One of the six burners is a dedicated low-BTU simmer burner — BlueStar rates it as low as roughly 1,300 BTU, versus ~22,000 BTU on the main burners. Use it for sauces, melting chocolate, or anything that scorches easily on a normal burner turned low.

Oven

  • Standard gas oven below the cooktop, controlled by the black knob(s) and window in the door.
  • The range has no continuous pilot light — if the oven or a burner won’t catch, see Troubleshooting below before assuming something is broken.

Range hood

  • Turn the hood on before you start cooking with the open burners, and let it run a few minutes after — at 1200 CFM it clears heat, steam and grease fast, but it needs a head start to keep smoke from ever reaching the room.
  • Controls are the touch panel on the front of the hood; fan speed and light are independent — you can run the light without the fan.
  • To confirm at walkthrough: whether a make-up-air damper/duct is installed for this hood. A 1200 CFM exhaust fan is well above the ~400 CFM threshold where building code typically requires a make-up-air path — worth knowing before running the hood on high with the house sealed up tight. See Deep dive.

Microwave drawer

A built-in stainless microwave drawer lives in the island cabinetry (not overhead — it opens like a drawer, toward you). It runs the usual microwave modes off its own keypad: Popcorn, Reheat, Beverage, Defrost, plus Potatoes/Vegetables presets and a Keep Warm setting, a numeric keypad for time/power entry, and Open/Close on the panel (the drawer motorizes open and closed — don’t force it by hand).

Dishwasher

A built-in Bosch dishwasher (800 Series, bar handle) sits in the perimeter cabinetry near the sink — the exact model is disputed between two sources; see Specs. The control panel has everything you need: On/Off, six wash cycles (Heavy, Auto, Eco, Normal, Speed 60, Rinse), a text display that reads out cycle status, and six options (Delay, Half Load, Delicate, Sanitize, Extra Dry, Extra Scrub) that layer onto whichever cycle you pick. Auto is the smartest all-purpose choice for a mixed load; Speed 60 gets lightly soiled dishes clean and dry in about an hour. Press and hold Start/Resume for 3 seconds to cancel a running cycle.

Garbage disposal

  • A continuous-feed InSinkErator Badger 5 lives under the sink — which sink (main kitchen sink vs. the island prep sink) is to confirm at walkthrough. Flip the wall switch, run a steady stream of cold water, then feed food waste in gradually rather than packing it in all at once.
  • Per InSinkErator’s own guidance, never put fats, oils or grease down it, and go easy on hard or fibrous material it isn’t built for — bones, fruit pits, corn husks/cobs, celery and other stringy vegetables, and any non-food items (glass, plastic, rubber bands, produce stickers). The Badger 5 is InSinkErator’s entry-tier disposer — no auto-reverse, no stainless grind components — so it rewards a bit more care than a heavier-duty model would need.

4Maintenance

  • Range grates & burner caps: lift off and hand-wash (warm soapy water); the burner caps and igniter electrodes need to stay dry and free of food debris or spark-ignition gets unreliable. BlueStar’s official use & care manual (linked below) covers grate care and the annual professional gas-line/orifice check they recommend for open-burner ranges.
  • Range hood grease filters: the mesh/baffle filters are removable and dishwasher-safe — clean monthly with regular cooking, more often if you fry a lot. A greasy filter is the #1 cause of a hood losing suction.
  • Refrigerator water filter: filter model to confirm — typical replacement interval is every 6 months regardless of brand; if the ice/water tastes off before then, replace early (see Troubleshooting).
  • Dishwasher filter: a self-cleaning 3-part filter (large-object trap, flat fine filter, micro filter) sits in the tub floor under the lower spray arm — unscrew the large-object trap and lift the whole assembly out to rinse under running water. Per Bosch’s official care guide, clean it 3–6 times a year if you rinse dishes before loading, 4–12 times a year if you only scrape first, or as often as 12 times a year with hard water; clean it after any load with heavy starch (potatoes, pasta).
  • Garbage disposal: no scheduled service — the InSinkErator Badger 5 just needs cold water run before, during and briefly after use, and a diet that skips grease/fats/oils, bones and stringy produce (see Everyday use, and InSinkErator’s official guidance in Documents). Running a few ice cubes through periodically helps knock loose buildup; a citrus peel afterward is a common (if unofficial) freshener.
  • Walk-in pantry: no real maintenance — wire shelving wipes clean; check the shelf-clip weight rating before loading it with cases of canned goods.

5Troubleshooting

  • Burner clicks but won’t light: almost always a wet or food-fouled igniter electrode (the small ceramic spark tip next to the burner) — dry it off and wipe clean, make sure the burner cap is seated correctly, then try again. Continuous clicking after the burner is lit usually means a knob is stuck slightly past Off, or a neighboring burner’s switch is damp.
  • Hood rumbles or vibrates: usually a loose duct connection at the hood or roof/wall cap, or a grease-caked blower wheel losing balance. Clean the filters first (see Maintenance); if the rumble persists, the ducting or blower likely need a look.
  • Fridge ice/water tastes off: replace the water filter (see Maintenance) and run a few gallons through to flush the new filter before trusting the taste. If it still tastes off, check whether the fridge has been unused for a while — stagnant water in the line is the other common cause.
  • Microwave drawer won’t open/close: check that nothing is jamming the slide rails; the drawer is motorized on Open/Close — don’t force it. Power-cycle at the breaker if the keypad is unresponsive.
  • Dishwasher won’t start: per Bosch’s troubleshooting guide, the most common causes are the door not latched fully (shut it until you hear a click), a cycle already selected but Start never pressed, or a prior cycle that didn’t finish resetting — press and hold Start/Resume for 3 seconds, wait about a minute for it to drain, then power it off and back on with On/Off before starting a new cycle.
  • Dishwasher cycle won’t resume after opening the door mid-cycle: normal — Bosch pauses the cycle for safety if the door stays open more than 4 seconds. Close the door and press Start again to resume.
  • Disposal hums or won’t turn on: switch it off at the wall first, then check for a jam before assuming it’s dead — this is the InSinkErator Badger 5’s single most common complaint. Look under the sink for the small red reset button on the bottom of the unit and press it once. If it still won’t run, clear the jam: insert a 1/4" hex/Allen wrench (InSinkErator’s own Jam-Buster wrench, or any 1/4" hex key) into the hex socket at the center of the underside, work it back and forth until the grind plate turns freely through a full rotation, then press the reset button. Never reach into the disposal by hand.
  • Dishes not getting clean or dry enough: check that the spray arms turn freely and their nozzles aren’t clogged, that the filter (see Maintenance) isn’t due for a clean, and that dishes aren’t nested or blocking the spray pattern. Low or empty rinse aid is the most common cause of spotting and poor drying — top it off and consider the Sanitize or Extra Dry option for a better dry.

Model — unresolved conflictTwo identifications, from two different sources, that do not agree: (1) SHX68TL5UC — a top-control 800 Series model, bar handle — read directly off the dishwasher’s own factory label at install (2017-06-26). (2) SHX878WD5N — a front-control 800 Series model, bar handle — inferred from a 2026 photo of the installed unit’s control panel, matched cycle-for-cycle and option-for-option against Bosch’s official documentation for that family. Possibly replaced at some point — owner to confirm. The build-era label is normally the stronger kind of evidence, and there’s a plausible way it could be right without any replacement at all — see Deep dive. Not settled; not guessing further.
Noise level42 dBA printed on the fascia ("SuperSilence Plus 42 dBA") — Bosch’s published 800 Series figure generally; note SHX68TL5UC’s own published spec is 44 dBA, so this badge is one more data point in the identification conflict above, not independent confirmation of either candidate

7Documents & links

To archive (Phase B)

Once the fridge/freezer/microwave model numbers are confirmed at walkthrough, and the dishwasher conflict (Specs, above) is resolved with the owner, download and archive: the Electrolux ICON refrigerator and freezer owner’s manuals, the microwave manual, the correct dishwasher manual (SHX68TL5UC or SHX878WD5N — whichever is confirmed), and the Elkay care/cleaning PDF for the apron sink. The BlueStar use & care PDF and the InSinkErator Badger 5 product/spec links are already in the list above — both models are confirmed, so those two are ready to download into docs/ whenever, no walkthrough needed.
Section 8Technical reference ExpandCollapse

The engineering layer — for a buyer's technician, or a curious owner.

For the kitchen nerd: what the design-phase records actually show, what the walkthrough photos just confirmed, and the one code question worth resolving before you run this hood flat-out.

Electrolux ICON built-in refrigerator and freezer column pair, stainless steel doors with matching handles, under a shared louvered grille.
The refrigerator/freezer column pair photographed straight-on — the "Electrolux | ICON" badge is legible on both doors, but the two columns are otherwise identical from the outside, so which side is the fridge and which is the freezer is still a walkthrough question.

This photo resolves a long-WANTED item outright: the fridge/freezer pair is Electrolux ICON, confirmed by the badge on both doors. It is a built-in column pair — one all-refrigerator column and one all-freezer column, each full height, installed side by side under a shared top louvered grille and toe grille — rather than a single side-by-side unit. No model or serial numbers are visible from the outside; Electrolux ICON puts that plate on the interior fresh-food-compartment wall on this series, so it needs a photo from inside the door.

The design-phase research screenshot from the 2017 build: BlueStar RNB366BV2, 36", 6 open burners, Platinum Series — since confirmed as the exact installed unit (see below).

This screenshot from the archived design photos — the AJ Madison listing for the BlueStar RNB366BV2, a 36", 6-open-burner range in BlueStar’s Platinum series — was, until now, the best available evidence for the range’s model, and only "very likely." It is no longer a guess: a straight-on walkthrough photo confirmed the BlueStar brand via the star medallion on the lower front panel, and a photo of the range’s own factory unit tag (photographed at install, 2017-07-10, before the range was unwrapped) reads "ITEM NUMBER: RNB366BV2" and "GAS TYPE: NAT" directly — model and fuel type both confirmed from the manufacturer’s own paperwork, not inferred from a retail listing.

A two-year gap, unexplained

The same factory unit tag records the range as ordered 2015-06-24, due 2015-07-23 — but it wasn’t installed until 2017-07-10, roughly two years later. Nothing in the record explains the gap (bought early and stored, a closeout unit, originally meant for an earlier project — all equally plausible, none confirmed), and it’s worth asking about specifically because it bears on when the manufacturer’s warranty clock actually started. Recorded here as an open question for the owner, not a guess.

Open-burner architecture

BlueStar’s open-burner ranges (the RNB/RCS/RPB families) put the flame directly under the pan with no sealed burner cap restricting airflow the way most residential ranges do — this is what gives them both very high top-end output (~22,000 BTU) and a genuinely low simmer (~1,300 BTU on the dedicated simmer burner), a spread that’s hard to find outside commercial equipment. The tradeoff is that open burners have exposed spark igniters that need to stay clean and dry to fire reliably — see Troubleshooting.

The range hood, confirmed by its own shipping carton

A photo of the delivery carton, taken when the hood arrived on site (2017-06-07), settles what was previously "likely Zephyr, possibly an insert rather than a standalone hood": the label reads "ZEPHYR Siena Pro / ZSP-E42BS / Size: 42" / Color: stainless", next to a line drawing of a wall-mount chimney hood. That is a complete, exact model number for a full wall-mount chimney hood — not an insert or liner in a custom surround, which had been the open possibility on this page before. It also confirms the width: 42" nominal (41-7/8" actual body width), over the 36" BlueStar range — a deliberate 3" overhang on each side.

The make-up-air question

Residential exhaust hoods above roughly 400 CFM commonly trigger a make-up-air requirement under the International Residential Code (and Washington’s state amendments) — the idea being that a powerful hood can depressurize a tightly-sealed house enough to backdraft a gas water heater, furnace, or fireplace. At 1200 CFM, this hood is well into that territory. Worth confirming at walkthrough whether a make-up-air damper or duct was installed for it (sometimes tied to the HVAC system, sometimes a simple wall damper) — and if not, whether it was engineered around some other way (e.g. exhaust rated below the threshold in practice, or a whole-house ventilation strategy that accounts for it).

The Zephyr Siena Pro spec sheet from the build — 1200 CFM, ICON Touch controls; the installed unit is confirmed as the 41-7/8" (42" nominal) ZSP-E42BS.

The microwave drawer, read off its own control panel

Open stainless microwave drawer set into island cabinetry, showing a Sharp interior nameplate and keypad.
The microwave drawer mid-install — note the "SHARP" nameplate inside the cavity.

The unit built into the island is a drawer-style microwave, not a separate warming drawer — its interior nameplate reads "SHARP," and the control panel is unmistakably a microwave’s: Popcorn, Reheat, Beverage, Defrost, Potatoes/Vegetables presets, a Keep Warm mode, a full numeric keypad, Start/+30 Sec, Stop/Clear, Timer/Clock and Power Level. There is no separate warming drawer confirmed anywhere in the archived photos — if you find one at the walkthrough (some kitchens pair a microwave drawer with a true warming drawer nearby), add it here.

The dishwasher — two identifications that disagree

Open built-in Bosch dishwasher viewed from above, showing the full front control panel with cycle and option buttons and a bar handle.
The Bosch dishwasher’s control panel, photographed straight-on, 2026 — Heavy/Auto/Eco/Normal/Speed60/Rinse cycles, Delay/Half Load/Delicate/Sanitize/Extra Dry/Extra Scrub options, and the "SuperSilence Plus 42 dBA" badge.

No rating plate has ever been photographed on this unit — but two other sources have each produced a model number, and they disagree. The brand (Bosch) and series (800 Series) are solid either way: the fascia logo confirms Bosch, and the printed "SuperSilence Plus 42 dBA" badge is in the range Bosch’s own product literature ties to the 800 Series generally (300 Series ≈ 44–46 dBA, 500 Series ≈ 44 dBA, 800 Series ≈ 42 dBA, 800 Series Premium ≈ 39–40 dBA). Past that, the two identifications diverge:

  • From a 2026 photo of the installed unit’s panel (above): the exact set of six cycles (Heavy, Auto, Eco, Normal, Speed60, Rinse) and six options (Delay, Half Load, Delicate, Sanitize, Extra Dry, Extra Scrub) is a name-for-name match to Bosch’s official operating instructions for the SHP878WD5N / SHX878WD5N / SHV878WD3N family (front-control, "878WD" generation) — including "Extra Dry" rather than the later "CrystalDry" rebrand, which dates it to before Bosch’s ~2016–2017 naming update on the 800 Series. The bar handle matches that family’s SHX-prefix variant, making SHX878WD5N (stainless steel) the specific guess from this evidence.
  • From the dishwasher’s own build-era factory label, photographed during the original appliance install (2017-06-26): Bosch SHX68TL5UC, 120 V / 60 Hz — a different, top-control 800 Series model, also bar-handle. This is a label read directly off the machine, not an inference, which would normally make it the stronger of the two.

Both can’t be the same, uninterrupted installation — they’re different model numbers with the control panel in different places. Rather than pick one, both are recorded here as open. Two explanations are on the table: the dishwasher was replaced at some point between 2017 and 2026 (possible, but nothing else in the record suggests it, and it would be an odd downgrade since SHX68TL5UC generally predates the 878WD generation); or the 2026 fingerprint match is simply reading the wrong thing — the 2026 photo was framed as an overhead shot looking straight down into the open dishwasher from standing height, which is exactly how you’d end up photographing a top-edge control panel rather than a front fascia, so the panel in that photo may actually belong to the top-control SHX68TL5UC rather than to a front-control 878WD unit. Both are plausible; neither is proven. One question to the owner — has the dishwasher ever been replaced? — settles it. Until then, the operating details above (cycles, options, noise badge) are treated as accurate, since they were read directly off the panel that is actually in the kitchen; the model number is the one thing still open.

The garbage disposal — newly documented

Until now this page said nothing about a disposal at all. A photo of its retail carton, taken during the same July 2017 appliance fit-out session as the range and the microwave drawer, confirms an InSinkErator Badger 5 — InSinkErator’s standard entry-level continuous-feed disposer. The carton photo shows only a countertop and a capped supply stub, not an actual sink, so which of the kitchen’s sinks it ended up under (main sink vs. the island prep sink) is a walkthrough question, not a photographed fact.

A design-phase reference photo for a pull-out pantry cabinet — note this photo’s flooring and counters don’t match the rest of this house’s finishes, so treat it as inspiration rather than confirmation that this specific cabinet was built.

The Elkay spec sheet carries a handwritten "Lot 3 CT" — this house was Lot 3 in the subdivision, a small confirmation that this exact spec sheet was pulled for this build rather than being a generic reference image. The faucet match (Kohler K-77515-CP) comes from a Pinterest screenshot rather than a purchase record, so it’s a somewhat weaker signal than the sink or the range — confirm the installed faucet’s finish and lever style against this at walkthrough.

What to gather to finish this page

  • Refrigerator and freezer: model/serial off the interior fresh-food-compartment side wall plate for each column (brand — Electrolux ICON — is now confirmed), which column is which, and the exact water filter part number.
  • Microwave drawer: model/serial off the interior plate.
  • Dishwasher: has it ever been replaced? One yes/no answer resolves the SHX68TL5UC-vs-SHX878WD5N conflict above; if it has never been replaced, the rating plate (top edge of the door or a tub side wall) still hasn’t been directly photographed, and finding it would make SHX68TL5UC certain rather than leading.
  • Garbage disposal: which sink is the InSinkErator Badger 5 actually under — and is there a second disposal at the island prep sink?
  • BlueStar range: why the roughly two-year gap between the 2015 factory order and the 2017 install (bought early and stored? a closeout unit? ordered for an earlier project?) — see the callout above. Affects when the warranty clock actually started; no answer assumed here.
  • Confirm the make-up-air answer above.
  • Confirm whether the pull-out pantry cabinet shown in the design reference photo was actually built, in addition to the walk-in pantry.
