Know before you buy
A dual fuel range gives you the best of both worlds: the immediate, responsive heat control of a gas cooktop for searing and sautéing, paired with the consistent, dry heat of an electric oven, which is generally superior for baking and roasting.
Yes. True convection uses a dedicated third heating element and a fan to circulate hot air throughout the oven cavity. This eliminates hot spots and ensures that your cookies, roasts, and pastries cook evenly, even when you are using multiple racks at once.
With Wi-Fi connectivity, you can use the KitchenAid app to preheat your oven remotely, monitor cooking progress, and receive alerts on your smartphone. It adds a layer of convenience, especially when you need to start dinner before you get home.
This is a 36-inch freestanding unit, so it requires a specific cutout size and both a gas line and a 240-volt electrical outlet. Because it is a professional-style appliance, you should verify your kitchen's gas and electrical infrastructure with a professional installer before purchasing.
The cooktop features six burners, providing plenty of space for multiple pots and pans. They are designed with varying heat outputs to accommodate everything from a gentle simmer for delicate sauces to high-heat searing for proteins.
The Passion Red finish is a bold design choice, but the range is built with commercial-grade materials meant to withstand heavy, daily use. It is designed for longevity, featuring robust grates and a sturdy build that matches its professional aesthetic.
