Range cookers
When it comes to cooking on a grand scale, you just can’t beat a range for sheer size and style. From their Victorian roots, the range cooker has really evolved and now includes some of the most up-to-date cooking technologies available.
The face of range cooking also reflects contemporary design these days, with professional looking ranges now just as popular as the old traditional styles.
Style Choices
Range cookers are just as big when it comes to style. From the traditional farmhouse look to the functional design of the professional kitchen, you can choose a range cooker to complement all kitchen styles. We also have a collection of specially designed splashbacks and hoods for the perfect range accessories.
Size matters
Range cookers are available in many different sizes from the more compact 80cm mini ranges right through to the grand 120cm model. With the larger of our range cookers some models offer eight burners, two independent ovens as well as a separate grill - so choose big if cooking space is your top priority.

Fuel options
There are range cookers for all fuel types – electric, gas and dual fuel. A dual fuel model will give you the benefit of cooking with an electric oven but with the responsiveness of a gas hob. If you have LPG (bottled) gas, conversion kits are supplied with most dual fuel models. Check the individual product information for details.
Look out for these symbols
- Conventional oven These ovens have a heating element at the top and the bottom. Air circulates naturally around the oven creating varying temperatures with the hottest air at the top perfect for the Sunday roast.
- Fan oven These ovens cook efficiently at lower temperatures as they have a fan at the back to circulate hot air around quickly and evenly. You can also defrost by selecting the ‘fan only’ setting. It takes about half the time it would normally take at room temperature.
- Oven volume If the size of the oven is important, keep an eye out for these symbols. They tell you what the oven volume is in litres and the higher the number, the greater the volume.
- Multifunction oven You can select fan or conventional cooking with multifunction ovens giving you the best of both worlds. They also have some handy functions to save time and work and help you get the best results. The number and choice of functions varies according to the brand and the model.
- Amp Must be connected to the power supply as recommended in the manufacturer’s
- Grill specification. These ovens have either a twin grill, a variable grill or a hot air grill. A hot air grill gives you the most even cooking results and temperature control plus you can even grill with the door closed.
- Manufacturer’s guarantee Every appliance is covered by a manufacturer’s guarantee for parts and labour. This varies according to the brand and the model.
