Gas Cooktop
A dual fuel range cooker cooks the best of both worlds. It offers a responsive temperature control on top with even heating inside the oven.

The stoves are equipped that can accommodate capacities from 4.5 cubic foot to over 6.6 cubic feet and are suitable for a wide range of household requirements.
When buying a new range it is crucial to think about the type of cooking that you do and the amount of space you have available in your home. For instance, a huge oven with high BTUs might be better for cooking meat or other meals that require dry heat, while smaller ovens are great for baking delicate items. You should also consider the kind of burner you'll require. Most ranges have between four and six burners but you can find models with up to eight burners and two ovens for larger families.
If you decide that a dual fuel range is the best option for your home, search for models with an electric and gas oven to maximize its features.

In contrast to other appliances, these models require two distinct sources of power--a liquid propane gas or natural propane line and a 120-volt electrical outlet.

Other options may include integrated dishwashers, built-in microwaves, or warming drawers.

Based on the model you choose, some dual fuel ranges can be coupled with gas or electric convection ovens. They offer a temperature control that is hard to achieve with regular gas ovens. These ovens can also come with features that make baking easier. For instance a Dual VertiFlow system which reduces cold or hot spots in the oven.

Gas ovens typically provide quick response times and provide an experience of cooking with hands while electric ovens offer more uniform heating across the entire surface of the oven. This makes them better suited for baked goods and casseroles that require uniform temperatures and uniform browning. Gas ovens with higher BTU ratings are best for cooking meats and other meals which need to retain moisture.
The flexibility that comes with dual fuel ranges is an important advantage, these stoves may be more expensive than all-gas or all-electric models. This could be a deterrent for those on a budget.

It is crucial to read the owner's manual and follow all instructions before beginning installation. You may want to consider hiring a professional if you're not confident about completing the electrical or gas connections. It's also a good idea to have at minimum someone else help you move the appliance to its proper place.
The first step to install a dual fuel range is to ensure that your home's gas hook-up is ready to support the new appliance. You'll need a dedicated gas line that can be installed by a professional. You can also use an existing electrical line. Verify the quality of the line and ensure it can power an electric oven.
To install the gas line, start by removing the existing cap from the gas valve and cleaning the area. If you need to, enlarge the hole in your wall to accommodate the larger diameter pipe. After the gas line has been installed, simply screw the connector or tube into the valve. Be careful not to tighten too much or you risk damaging the threads.
After you're done then tighten the screw of the green ground wire terminal ring. The screw should be inserted back into the terminal block and connect the opposite end of the cable to the white wire on the terminal block, matching up the wire colors (red to red and black to black). Then, insert the ring again and secure the cord with the included strain relief.
