Inserting a gas range from a manufacturer looks great in quarter inch enlarged plans. However, when they show up on eighth inch or sixteenth in plans, typical used for composite plans or overall floor plans, the ranges look like black blobs. And, someone asks, "What is that blob in the kitchen?" How can i manage that?

Edit the family, select the highly detailed elements, Edit Visibility/Graphics, and uncheck Coarse scale box. Load it back in the project, if your smaller scale plan is in Coarse scale, then these highly detailed graphics will be turned off. For larger scale plans, change to Medium or Fine scale and they will be visible.
Many families are built with two sets of graphics, one is simple for Coarse scale, the other is highly detailed for Medium and/or Fine scale.
Hi @Anonymous,
i had this issue resolved following the below link:

Hope this Helps

That works, but it is not ideal. The fault is with the object. In this case it is the grates. If I turn them off then the range looks funny. If they are on at a small scale, there is a blob. I would be forced to drill down and do more modification to the range bim model. Then I am not in the business of architecture any more, but bim model technical creator. Perhaps I will do that when I retire. Thanks for your help.

What would be ideal in your opinion?
Like I said, if families need to show differently at different scales then they need to built with two (or three) sets of graphics. Revit provides you with necessary tools and it is up to you to make it work, to make your drawings more presentable. It is even easier than what you could have done with hand drawings or AutoCAD drawings.
Below is an example of the same cooktop family, shown at 2 different scales. It took less than 30 seconds to fix.
