New line of GE stoves designed for visually impaired

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- General Electric has released a set of accessories for a line of its stoves that allows the visually impaired to safely use its ranges.

Working with students from the Kentucky School for the Blind, GE engineers and designers developed a kit of braille overlays for electric range controls.

The braille overlays are designed for use on GE's Artistry Electric Range.

The ADA compliant Artistry range has front control knobs that are easily accessible.

Stoves are one of the least accessible appliances because many have smooth push buttons on a back control panel.
