LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2006--Now consumers can enjoy the performance of dual-fuel cooking without the hassle of installing new electric lines in their homes. The GE Profile free-standing 120-volt dual-fuel range offers the best of both cooking worlds - the responsiveness of gas on the cooktop with the performance and even heating of an electric oven. Consumers with a gas line in their kitchen can plug this range into any dedicated standard 120V/15amp electrical outlet.
On the cooktop:
-- PowerBoil(TM) burner - delivers 17,000 BTUs of forceful heat for rapid boiling.
-- Center Oval Burner - adds a fifth element to the center of the cooktop to accommodate large cookware and deliver ideal results.
-- Pancakes or grilled cheese are a snap! A non-stick griddle offers a flat cooking surface, placed over the center oval burner, for cooking multiple foods at once.
-- Precise Simmer burner - delivers a low setting of 140 degrees, ideal for delicate foods and sauces.
-- Dishwasher-safe continuous grates - allow for easy movement of pots and pans between burners.
The oven features:
-- TrueTemp(TM) system - provides even heat distribution and maximum oven control.
-- 5.0-cu.-ft. extra-large oven capacity - gives consumers the room they need to cook large meals.
-- Fast Preheat feature - gas-assisted preheating to increase heat output and reduce the wait it takes to reach the temperature setting.
-- Warming Drawer - provides variable temperature control for keeping foods warm.
