Types of cooker

Freestanding cookers can stand alone or next to a run of cupboards. They’re usually 50-60cm in width, so are ideal for smaller families or homes.

If you’ve got a bit more space, or more hungry mouths to feed, a range cooker might be more up your street. At their largest, they can be 3x the width of freestanding cookers – which means loads more room in the oven and more space on the hob.

How to measure for a new cooker

Measure up the available space for your cooker, taking note of height and width. You’ll want to make sure your kitchen cabinets aren’t directly above your hobs. If you’re looking to upgrade your existing cooker, just measure what you already have.

Information Always make sure you install your cooker on a solid, flat surface. Carpet or soft flooring is unsafe.

Pyrolytic cleaning may sound technical, but it just means that the oven gets heated to 500°C and any burnt-on food gets incinerated in the process. Then all you have to do is wipe away the ash. Simple!
