NATURAL GAS RANGE No other cooking system available offers the control, convenience and savings of natural gas. And, with today's pilotless ignition, gas ranges use up to 30% less energy than older models. Efficiency: With natural gas, a turn of the dial provides instant flame and instant heat. The dial also allows precise control of the height of the flame for proper sautéing, simmering and boiling. New natural gas ranges use electronic ignition to light the burners and oven rather than having constantly burning pilot lights of older models. By sealing the top surface of the range, the cooking surface is easier to clean. Spills wipe off easily and do not run into the hard-to-clean areas under the burners. Features: You may choose from ranges with either a standard oven or a self-clean model. Some models also feature waist high broilers that have the broiler unit in the top of the oven compartment. Infra-red broilers are also available from many manufacturers. The following choices show the flexibility of how gas ranges can fit the cooking style of any home: - Freestanding Range: Sits between your base cabinets and countertops
- Slide-in Range: Slides into your built-in cabinets
- Cooktop Unit with gas wall oven
- Downdraft Cooktop with built-in grill
- Lift-up Cooktops
- Combination Cooktop
- Modular Ranges which allow you to change the burners to griddle units for cooking pancakes or grilling units for burgers or steaks
- Most natural gas ranges have an Average Appliance Life of 13 to 21 years.
