Insignia NS-RGRCESS4 Range

The number of surface cooking elements rated at over 2,000 watts. On a smoothtop range, often one or more of the high-power elements is a dual element; you can choose the large element or a smaller element within the larger one for small pots.

The number of surface cooking elements rated at over 1,500 watts but not more than 2,000 watts.

The number of surface cooking elements rated from 1,200 to 1,500 watts not including warming-only elements, or those contained within larger expandable elements.

Has a convection feature that uses a fan or two to circulate heated air, and sometimes an extra heating element. The convection mode can be turned off if you prefer conventional cooking.

Double oven models have a second oven cavity. Most have a separate small oven above the main one complete with its own controls, door, window, oven light, slide-out rack, and self-clean function. While the upper oven offers easy access, the main oven is relatively low; you'll need to crouch to remove items from lower shelf positions. Other designs offer two same-sized ovens, or convert a single oven into two using a slide-in partition (though with a shared door.)

A low-powered cooktop element in the center area of the cooktop surface designed to keep food warm.

The drawer below the oven can keep hot foods warm or heat serving bowls and plates. It can also be used as a storage drawer.

The range can connect to the WiFi in your home.

Manufacturer's rated maximum wattage of surface cooking elements. Electric coil ranges have two high-power elements (8-inch coils rated 2,600 watts) and two low-power elements (6-inch coils rated 1,500 watts). For smoothtop ranges, different models have different combinations of elements. Small, low-power elements with ratings from 1,200 to 1,500 watts are sized for a small saucepan. A medium-power element (typically 1,800 watts or so) would handle a larger saucepan or small frying pan. High-power elements of 2,000 watts or more will accommodate large pots such as a stockpot. Often one or more of the high-power elements is a dual element; you can choose the large element or a smaller element within the larger one for small pots. These elements are listed as 1,000/2,500 watts (dual). A few models have triple elements, giving you even more flexibility.

Most ranges have five rack positions, and some pro-style models have just three. Six positions adds baking and broiling versatility.

Freestanding front control ranges have all controls on the front panel and no backguard, but can easily swap into the same space as any Freestanding range with a traditional backguard. A true Slide-in, another style with all controls at the front, requires some installation because the cooktop overlaps the countertop on the left and right sides. It may also have unfinished cabinet sides and require a filler trim between the wall and the back of the cooktop.
