gas range

Burner-topped kitchen appliance

A gas range is a kitchen stove that uses natural gas or propane as fuel, with burners on top for cooking and typically an oven below.

The term distinguishes it from electric ranges: We're replacing the old gas range with an induction cooktop.

Range in this sense means a large cooking appliance.
