Modern models of gas stoves additionally have a timer or an electronic display with information about the operating time of the oven., or even individual stove burners. Each standard gas stove has a hob with gas burners and a gas oven. The stove most often has 4 gas burners and grate, designed for placing pots and pans.
The oven in the gas stove can be equipped with the functions, that, certainly, make it easier to keep it clean at all times, t. it is. catalytic cleaning, steam or pyrolytic.

The size of the kitchen matters. Freestanding is most often installed in the kitchen wall. Their standard depth ranges from 50-60 cm. This makes them suitable for kitchen furniture.. The width of the gas stove strictly depends on the number of burners. The standard is, of course, slabs 4- conformal, in which, usually, there are various sizes of flame.

On some models, the grill has a larger work surface, thanks to which you can cook in four large pots at a time. Most models are equipped with metal or glass covers, which serve to protect burners, when the stove is not in use. A set of plates can also have a special drawer under the oven, designed for storing crockery or cutlery.
There must be lighting inside the oven. And also good, to have glass in the doorway, through which you can control cooking, without opening the oven.
