Single oven or dual oven?
A single 5.3 cu. ft. oven handles most meals. The MET8800FZ splits 6.7 cu. ft. across two ovens, so you can bake and roast at the same time at different temperatures.
The trade-off is the storage drawer. The dual-oven range has none, while the other four models include one.
Convection and cleaning
Convection circulates hot air for even baking. The MFES6030RB, MFES8030RZ and MET8800FZ include it, while the MER4800PZ and MFES4030RS do not.
Steam clean is a lighter clean. High-temp self clean is a heavier clean. The MFES8030RZ offers both, and the MER4800PZ and MFES4030RS use steam clean.
Plan the installation
Electric ranges need a 240-volt outlet. Measure the width, depth and height of the opening, and check the clearance around the range.
- Confirm the electrical connection.
- Check the cabinet opening width.
- Allow room for the oven door to open.
- Check the product page for anti-tip and installation notes.
