What is the thing on the wall above the stove?

A range is the common kitchen appliance you’ll find in most American kitchens. It combines a stovetop, also called a cooktop, and an oven. A cooktop is the flat, open surface you sear and saute on that does not have an oven below it, but instead integrates into countertops.

A kitchen hood, extractor hood, range hood, or exhaust hood is a device containing a mechanical fan that hangs above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen. It removes airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, heat, and steam from the air by evacuation of the air and filtration.

Also known as a kettle faucet or pasta arm, this single-temperature faucet (usually cold water) is designed so you can fill pots of water directly on the stove rather than in the sink.

The French top is a graduated cooking surface with the highest temperature under the center plate. For higher cooking heat, place cookware closer to the center and for lower heat, closer to the edges.

“Retro stoves” – gas kitchen ranges made from the late 1930s through the 1950s – represent the epitome of American quality, ingenuity and design. As the centerpiece of your kitchen, a retro stove is a fun and practical way to reconnect with cooking at home.

To determine the age of your appliance, use your serial number (not the model number) to identify the date it was manufactured. Our serial numbers begin with two letters, followed by six numbers, with a letter at the end. The two letters at the beginning of the serial number tell you the month and year it was made.

The quick answer to can my oven and hob be separated in different parts of the kitchen? is yes. Electric single ovens can be placed virtually anywhere you want and can even be placed in cupboards at waist height for added convenience. You just need to have a plug socket available for the oven to plug into.

Over-the-range microwaves are installed above a range or cooktop, saving kitchen counter space. These microwaves function as both a microwave oven and a hood vent. They provide kitchen venting and air circulation, as well as overhead lighting.

An over-the-stove microwave, which is also called an over-the-range microwave, an OTR microwave and an above-range microwave, is designed to be installed above the range. It’s a good option if you want to keep kitchen counter space open and like the look of a built-in finish.

Most manufacturers now use Serial numbers or have some form of data plate on their appliances usually hidden from front view. If you can’t identify your stove, the three more common places these data tags can be found are the sides, rear or undersides of the stoves.

The first two letters on the serial tag give you Month, Year. Date codes First letter is the month and the second letter is the year. The date code is in the letters on your serial number. The first two letters on the serial tag give you Month, Year.

A pot filler faucet, also known as a pasta arm or kettle faucet, is a separate kitchen faucet style installed near a stovetop or range. The kettle faucet mounted over a stove swings out, extending on a long, jointed arm. The faucet can be used to fill pots with water directly over the stove.

Grates. Grates are stove parts that sit above burners. A cooktop’s grates distribute and dissipate heat evenly below the pan. In the case of a gas oven, grates are made of cast iron.

There are ten types of cooktops in the market: electric, kitchen, stainless steel, downdraft, gas, induction, ceramic, island, modern, hood, range, countertop, two-burner, and griddle.

In the 1910s and ’20s, the combination range became quite the rage. These cookers were fired by gas as well as wood or coal, and offered seasonal versatility: coal or wood for added winter warmth, or just gas for cooking in summer heat.
