A 36-inch range is a step up from the standard 30" size, delivering wider cooktops, larger ovens, and professional-style performance in a footprint that still fits most remodeled kitchens. Available in gas, electric, and dual-fuel configurations, many 36" models offer six burners (or five plus a griddle), true convection ovens, and premium finishes that elevate both form and function.
A 36" range combines a full-width cooktop, often with six sealed burners or a griddle, and a large-capacity oven (commonly 5.5–6.3 cu. ft.). Choose freestanding (with a backguard), slide-in (front controls, low back), or pro-style designs with heavy-duty construction, continuous grates, and high-output burners. Many gas models are LP-convertible with the proper kit.
Widths are about 35 7/8"–36" to fit a 36" opening. Depth and height align with standard counters; always confirm cutout specs and clearances in the product sheet.
Most offer six burners or a five-burner layout with a griddle. Look for high-output power burners and ultra-low simmer zones for versatility.
Many 36" models provide around 5.5–6.3 cu. ft., accommodating full-size sheet pans, Dutch ovens, and holiday roasts with room to spare.
Gas gives instant flame control and wok-style heat. Electric excels at steady, even baking. Dual-fuel combines a gas cooktop with an electric oven’s consistency—popular for avid bakers.
Electric and dual-fuel ovens typically require 240V. Gas and dual-fuel cooktops need a gas line plus 120V for ignition and lights. Follow local codes and the manufacturer’s instructions.
Yes, many are LP-convertible with a kit. Hire a licensed installer to adjust the regulator, swap orifices, and perform leak tests.
A properly sized range hood is recommended for any 36" range, especially pro-style burners. Check the brand’s CFM guidance and local code requirements.
Freestanding is versatile and budget-friendly, slide-in delivers a built-in look with front controls, and pro-style offers heavy-duty construction and maximum burner performance.
