Commercial Range Cookers
Range cooker specification by sector
A range needs a gap built around it, so the width is set at design stage. Measure the route in as well.
| Sector | Fuel | Hob | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holiday lets & B&Bs | Dual fuel or electric | Induction or gas | Cooks for a full house with two or more ovens |
| Off-mains sites | Dual fuel, LPG convertible | Gas | Runs on bottled or bulk LPG after conversion |
| Care homes & supported living | Electric | Induction | No open flame, and the hob cools quickly |
| Larger family lets | Electric | Ceramic or induction | Simple to use and clean |
Almost every range cooker is hard wired, so budget an electrician. Gas connections need a Gas Safe engineer and, in let property, an annual gas safety check.
Frequently asked questions
Are these suitable for a commercial restaurant kitchen?
Most range cookers here are domestic appliances built for heavy home use. They suit B&Bs, holiday lets and care settings, but not continuous restaurant service, where commercial equipment is needed and domestic warranties don't apply.
Can a range cooker plug into a normal socket?
Very few can. Most are hard wired on a dedicated circuit, often 32A, fitted by an electrician.
Can it run on LPG?
Only if the model is LPG convertible, and the conversion must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The LPG jets aren't always included, so check the listing.
Can you deliver, install and take the old one away?
Yes. See delivery options, add installation and book recycling of the old unit in the same visit.
Replacing appliances across several sites?
Delivery and installation in one visit, and a dedicated account manager.
