Range Dual Fuel Cooker Dual fuel range cookers come with gas cooktops and an electric oven. They're more expensive than all-gas or all-electric models, but offer a combination of precision and flexibility. Cosmo's models are available in 30-, 36inches, and 48 inches with two or one oven. Its stovetop has five burners and a large ring sized to accommodate the wok. Gas Cooktop A range dual fuel cooker offers cooks the best of both worlds, offering a fast cooking temperature control with even heating in the oven. The cooktop features burners that utilize propane or natural gas for an efficient and quick flame. Some models come with an reversible grille to give you more flexibility. These stoves offer ovens with capacities ranging from 4.5 cubic feet to more than 6.6 cubic foot which makes them suitable for a variety of household needs. When purchasing a new cooktop, it is important to consider the type of cooking you'll be doing and how much room you have in your home. For instance large ovens with a lot of BTUs are better for cooking meats or other dishes requiring dry heat. Smaller ovens are best for baking delicate items. You should also think about the type of burner you'll need. The majority of ranges have between four and six burners, however, there are models with up to eight burners and two ovens for larger families. If you decide that a dual fuel range is right for your home, select models that have a gas oven and an electric oven to make the most of it. This GE model, for example is a 5.3 cubic foot oven that houses five burners, including two of the strongest power burners we tested. It also has an inbuilt reversible griddle as well as Wi-Fi connectivity for remote monitoring and update notifications for features. Another option is this Samsung smart range, which features an enormous single cavity and two smaller ovens that have a ceramic divider that lets you broil halibut in one while roasting potatoes in the other. Its cooktop uses gas burners as well as an electric oven to bake evenly.

Typically electricians are required to alter the electric voltage of your outlet to match the requirements of your dual fuel range.

Gas ovens are well-known for their speedy response and hands-on cooking, while electric ovens provide more consistent heating over the entire surface of the oven.

Gas ovens that have higher BTU ratings are best for meats and other dishes which need to retain moisture. While the flexibility offered by dual fuel ranges is an important draw, these stoves can be more expensive than all-electric or gas models. This can be a turnoff for people who are on a tight budget. In addition, dual fuel ranges need both a gas and electrical power to operate and is a significant expense upfront. In some cases an electrician may be required to install a new gas pipe or change the voltage of your outlet.

Before starting installation, you must read your owner's manual and follow the steps that are provided. You may want to consider hiring a professional if you're not confident in completing the electrical or gas connections. It's also a good idea to have at least someone else help you to move the appliance to its proper place. The process of installing a dual fuel range starts with ensuring that your home has a gas line ready to accommodate the new appliance. You'll require a dedicated gas line that can be installed by an expert. You can also make use of an existing electrical line. Be sure to verify the line's quality and whether it can provide power to an electric oven. Begin by removing a cap from the valve and then cleaning the surrounding area. If needed, you can make a larger hole in your wall to accommodate the larger diameter pipe. Once the gas line is installed, simply screw the tube or connector into the valve. Don't overtighten the threads. When you're finished, tighten the screw on the green ground wire terminal ring. Insert the screw back into the terminal block and connect the opposite end of the cable to the white wire on the terminal block, ensuring that it matches the wire colors (red to red and black to black). Connect the ring again and secure it by using strain relief.
