Type: 30-inch Gas models

Specs
Type Gas ranges require either natural gas or propane to power the rangetop burners and the oven, and a 120 volt outlet for electronic displays and ignitors. Dual-fuel ranges pair gas rangetop burners with an electric oven. Expect to pay a premium for dual-fuel, and note that this type of range requires a 240 volt electrical outlet in addition to a gas hookup. Type	30-inch gas
Style of range Freestanding ranges can fit in the middle of a kitchen counter or at the end. Two other styles, with similar parts and features, are slide-ins, which fit into a space between cabinets, and drop-ins, which rest atop toe-kick-level cabinetry and lack a storage drawer. Style of range	Freestanding gas
Burners Btu/hr Manufacturer's rating of the maximum output of surface cooking burners, measured in British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr.). High-power burners (over 11,000 Btu/hr.) are intended for quickly heating large quantities, searing, and other high-temperature cooking. Medium-power burners (over 6,500 Btu/h and up to 11,000 Btu/hr.) are for general use, and low-power burners (6,500 Btu/hr and below, sometimes called simmer burners) are intended for delicate tasks such as sauces. However, we've found that many burners with medium and even high maximum output, when turned down to their low setting, performed well on our low-heat cooking tests. Such burners offer more flexibility for different cooking tasks than do dedicated simmer burners. Burners Btu/hr	1 @ 16,000, 1 @ 12,000, 1 @ 9,500, 1 @ 5,000
Grates The grates on a gas cooktop vary in material and design, mostly by the price you pay for a range. The least expensive ranges have thin steel grates that cover only the burners. Upscale models generally have beefier grates made of porcelain-coated cast iron. These grates are also sometimes continuous, covering the whole cooktop. This allows you to easily slide pots on and off the burner. The most expensive, pro-style ranges typically have even-heavier cast-iron grates that are almost always of the continuous design. Grates	Cast iron, continuous
Oven rack positions Most ranges have five rack positions, and some pro-style models have just three. Six positions adds baking and broiling versatility. Ranges that have an additional "roasting position" can support a rack in an extra-low position close to the oven floor, to accommodate large roasts. However, a rack in this position doesn't pull out to a stop as it does in other positions, or may not pull out at all. Oven rack positions	5, plus roasting

Features
Convection oven The convection feature on an oven speeds roasting with a fan that forces warm air around the oven. Convection oven	No
Warming drawer This feature can keep hot foods warm or heat serving bowls and plates. It can also be used as a storage drawer. Warming drawer	No
Stainless steel available Many new mainstream ranges come with stainless steel trim or offer a stainless-trim version for an additional $200 or so. Many pro-style ranges (brands such as Viking, DCS, and GE Monogram, among others) have full stainless-steel construction. Stainless steel available	Yes
High-power burners The number of surface cooking burners rated at over 11,000 Btu/hr., maximum. High-power burners are good for quickly heating large quantities, searing, and other high-temperature cooking. Some also perform well on low-heat tasks (when turned to their low setting). Mainstream ranges typically have one or two high-power burners. Pro-style ranges often have four. High-power burners	1
Medium-power burners The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings over 6,500 Btu/hr but not more than 11,000 Btu/hr. Though they don't offer top speed and power, medium-power burners can generally handle all cooking tasks. Medium-power burners	2
Low-power burners The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings of 6,500 Btu/hr or less (sometimes called simmer burners). These are intended for delicate tasks such as sauces. Low-power burners	1
