Fuel Types

Generally, ranges need power/fuel to two parts of the range: the cooktops or burners and the oven. These can be powered by Natural Gas, Propane Gas, Electricity or a combination. Can't figure out which one is right for you? Read our article outlining the difference between gas and electric ovens!

Natural Gas Range - Cooktop and Oven powered by Natural Gas
Propane Gas Range - Cooktop and Oven powered by Propane Gas
Dual Fuel Range - Cooktop powered by Natural Gas or Propane Gas and Oven powered by Electricity

Each ZLINE range is shipped for use with Natural Gas and a LP conversion kit is sent in the box.

Important to remember that the Dual Fuel ranges require 220V.

Materials of the Range

All ZLINE Ranges are made from durable 304-grade Stainless Steel. This type of stainless steel is incredibly easy to clean, reliable and will match other traditional stainless steel appliances.

The burners are made from aluminum, unless you upgrade to the ranges with brass burners. No matter which burner material you get, they are sourced from Italy.

The cooktop is made from porcelain which is the preferred material for cooktops. They are easy to clean (let's be honest, food is going to spill!), resistant to most scratches and damages and is aesthetically pleasing.

Cooktop and Burner Performance

As mentioned above, the cooktop is one piece and made of porcelain. Having a one piece cooktop will save you the headache of cleaning the cooktop constantly and you won't have to worry about food bits falling in places you can't clean!

Not only is the cooktop easy to clean, ZLINE burners are professional grade. They come in the regular burners or brass burners. All burners are sourced from Italy.

Why would you pay more for Brass Burners?

Corrosion resistant = Last Longer
Superior heat retention = Food Tastes Better
Superior ability to distribute heat evenly = Food Tastes Better
Stain and Grime resistant = Easier to Clean
Professional look = The brass makes your range pop!

Read about the full advantages of brass burners in our award-winning article.

If you don't opt for the brass burners, you'll still receive the professional performance made of alloy, which will always produce amazing meals for the family.

The BTUs on each sealed burner range from 4,500 to 18,000 BTUs. Whether you are simmering your favorite pasta sauce or cooking your favorite dinner, you'll have a variety of burner types to cook with. The 48" and 60" range come with a fish burner - which is tailored for the built-in griddle. All burners are sealed to the range for a simplified cleaning process.

The number of burners on the cooktop range from the size:

24 Inch - 4 Burners
30 Inch - 4 Burners
36 Inch - 6 Burners
48 Inch - 6 Burners and 1 Fish/Griddle Burner
60 Inch - 8 Burners and 1 Fish/Griddle Burner

Oven Performance

Let's talk about the most important factor that you might have on your mind. Yes - this oven has a convection fan. This fan allows heat to be distributed evenly in the oven. The convection fan can be turned on and off, depending on your preference and what food you are baking or boiling.

The second question on your mind - how large is the oven?

Size	Total Oven Capacity (Cubic Feet)
24 Inch	2.8 cu. ft.
30 Inch	4.0 cu. ft.
36 Inch	4.6 cu. ft.
48 Inch	6.0 cu. ft.
60 Inch	7.4 cu. ft.

More amazing features of the oven:

Oven door is triple glass layered - these three layers allow you to look inside the oven as well as keep the heat in the oven.
Ball Bearing Racks - Easy slide-out racks that don't fall as you pull them out!
Oven Door with stay-put hinges - that's right, the hinges can support the weight of the full oven door so when you open the door, it won't fall all the way down.

Cost

ZLINE is one of the few kitchen brands that are affordable and ranks high in quality, reliability and the professional look. Let's compare the most popular ZLINE Ranges to other competitors.
