Will this range fit in my kitchen?
Standard width for a free-standing range is about 30″ — this will fit existing spaces in most kitchens.
What is a free-standing range?
A free-standing range is the most common range type. It can be placed between two cabinets or at the end of a cabinet. It has finished sides and a backsplash, sits on the floor, and controls are typically on the backsplash.
What types of burners are available?
If you have gas, there are different gas burner sizes and configurations. Electric range options include coil or glass (smooth) cooktops. Induction cooktops are another electric cooktop option.
Do I need gas or electric?
For most households, this depends on whether you have gas (propane or natural gas) and/or a 240 volt electric connection in your kitchen. Dual fuel ranges combine a gas cooktop with electric oven and require both gas and electric connections.
What is a double oven range?
Some range models include two ovens to allow you to cook two items simultaneously at different temperatures.
What kind of drawer does my range have?
Free-standing ranges come with a storage drawer, warming drawer, or broiler drawer. Warming drawers can be used to keep your food warm after you cook it, while a roll-out broiler drawer allows you to toast or broil food.
What types of colors are available?
Standard colors and finishes for ranges include stainless steel, black, and white. Some models are available in other colors such as slate (a dark gray) or bisque (a pale beige).
