Ranges
Bake better . . .
Preparing food comes naturally with natural gas. Even a
novice can be a great chef with stove-top burners that let you choose
any temperature setting you want - high, simmer, warm, or anywhere in
between and tailors its flames to many sizes of cookware. Now you can
broil, bake, and roast your way to delicious results. Natural gas
ranges...your recipe for convenience.

Choose the model that's right for your kitchen - a
free-standing range that combines the cooktop and oven in one unit, a
drop-in or slide-in model for a more built-in look, or wall ovens and
cooktops, offering separate cooking functions in two units providing
flexibility for installation and greater convenience for the two-cook
kitchen.
Natural gas ovens, ranges and cooktops offer the most
sophisticated features available in today's market and you can keep on
cooking even during a power outage. Stylish designs are only surpassed
by outstanding performance. Professional chefs rely on the instant heat
and temperature control of natural gas for perfect results. Homeowners
like the worry-free pilotless ignition.
Look for features like:
-
Front or side-mounted burn dials which eliminate the
need to reach over burners to change temperature settings.
-
Push-to-turn dials that prevent accidental lighting
of burners.
-
Automatic pilotless ignition that saves up to 30% of
the appliance fuel consumption
-
Infrared oven boilers that cook food faster, use
less energy and reduce food shrinkage
-
High-performance burners (up to 14,000 btus) that
provide faster cooking and higher temperature range for improved
heat control, better sautéing and stir frying.

Safety
Modern natural gas ranges do not have pilot lights. The gas is
ignited by an automatic, electronically controlled spark ignition
system. This system monitors the flame and turns off the gas if the
flame goes out. Some models will even attempt a relight before
completely shutting down the burners. All natural gas appliances sold in
Canada must be tested and certified.
Installation
Venting is not required, but a vent hood is suggested.
When installing your new natural gas range, it is essential that a
qualified natural gas contractor do the work.
