Can I use the stove while the oven is self cleaning?

You can absolutely use different brands, people do it all the time. Go for what you like and works, don’t get caught up in the name.

Burners: On gas ranges, you cannot use the cooktop burners while self-cleaning. Burners on models manufactured 2015 and after will operate during self clean; however, we strongly recommend waiting until after the cycle is complete to cook on the cooktop.

A cooktop (American English), stovetop (American English) or hob (British English), is a device commonly used for cooking that is commonly found in kitchens and used to apply heat to the base of pans or pots. Cooktops are often found integrated with an oven into a kitchen stove but may also be standalone devices.

Avoid using cast iron, stoneware, or ceramic pots on glass stovetops. Since these materials tend to be heavy and rough, they could scratch your stove. If you must use them, set them down gently, and whatever you do, don’t drag them across the surface.

When it comes to kitchen appliances, an oven is an enclosed cavity for baking, a stovetop or cooktop is an open, flat surface you cook on, and a range or stove is the standalone appliance with both.

Let the cooktop cool down before cleaning. Dab a small amount of glass ceramic cooktop cleaner onto the cooktop. Make use of a damp sponge to wipe away spills on the cooktop. Wipe off the cooktop with a clean, dry cloth.

In the kitchen, an oven can be part of a stove or its own appliance called a wall oven. An oven is the enclosed cavity that heats the air inside to cook food. A stove or range is an appliance that combines both an oven and a stovetop.

Fan-forced ovens have a fan that circulates the hot air, resulting in a faster cooking time, as well as browning more quickly.

A kitchen stove, cooker, or cookstove is a kitchen appliance designed for the purpose of cooking food. Kitchen stoves rely on the application of direct heat for the cooking process and may also contain an oven underneath or to the side that is used for baking.

Even though it’s called a wall oven, it is not limited to just in-wall installation. Single wall ovens can be installed below a cooktop, under the counter, or built into a set of cabinets. For added convenience, consider a microwave and wall oven combo.

Electrolux bought the Westinghouse appliances brand in 1986 and Email’s Major Appliances business in 2001.

In Australia, Electrolux owns AEG, Westinghouse and Chef Ovens products, which are made locally at their Cooking Plant in Adelaide.

Once your oven reaches the desired Temperature, set a Time and press Start. Your oven will hold the preheated Temperature for 10 minutes after the preheat is completed and then automatically shut off if you never set a Time or press Start.

Cooktop: The cooktop means you’re getting the burners and the oven as separate appliances. Cooktops are usually cleaner and more straightforward than ranges, with the flexibility to install them virtually anywhere without losing storage space below.

Early ranges were so-called because they usually had more than one oven and usually at least two cooking spots on top, furnishing a range of places to cook.
