How do Kitchen Ranges Work
Don’t know the difference between grates and burners? Touch pads vs knobs? We’re happy to point you in the right direction. Note that 4.8 cu. ft. kitchen ranges can differ greatly. Typically, though, these are the key parts of a kitchen stove that you want to pay attention to when shopping for this major kitchen appliance.
- Burners: Most kitchen ranges, 4.8 cu. ft. ones included, have at least four burners on the stove. Burners are the “hotspots” where you can set your pans to heat up for frying and your pots for boiling and simmering! Burners come in many sizes, but most stovetops include a small, two medium, and one large burner, so you can use one that fits your cooking utensils and purposes best. Each burner can be set to low-to-high temperatures depending on what you’re doing — melting or boiling. In some 4.8 cu. ft. ranges, burners can even be combined for when you’re cooking with longer pans and griddles.
- Burner covers: Are you cooking with gas or electricity? Burner covers will look different depending on the stove and fuel type. Electric ranges can have smooth tops, with the burner sitting under a layer of ceramic-glass. These are attractive ranges with easy to clean tops! Crumbs, drips, and spills are easy to wipe up once the range top has cooled. Electric ranges can also have traditional coil tops.
- Grate: Not all ranges have grates, but all 4.8 cu. ft. ranges at Rent-A-Center are great! Grates are usually griddle-like cast iron plates that sit on top of the burner to help evenly distribute heat from a flame. Usually, only electric kitchen ranges have these, while gas ranges have smooth, ceramic plates in their place.
- Controls: Every range has controls, including 4.8 cu. ft. ranges from Rent-A-Center. Controls help you turn the heat up or down on the burners, preheat the oven, and turn the oven light or overhead fan on and off! Different ranges have different controls, usually located to the side of the stovetop or on the oven door. ranges can have different types of controls, including knobs, buttons, and dials, to name a few.
Shopping for 4.8 cu. ft. Ranges

You’ll want to consider the color finish, name-brand, and if it has all the stuff you need to make your family’s favorites! Which appliance is right for your kitchen setup? If you’re on the fence, drop us a line. The team at Rent-A-Center would love to help you.
