Electric Cooktop FAQ
What is the standard size of an electric cooktop?
There are two standard sizes for an electric cooktop: 30 inches and 36 inches. If you are replacing your electric stovetop, measure carefully to know which size will sit between your cabinets. If you are doing a full kitchen removal, a 36 electric cooktop might provide more space and luxury amenities to use.
How do I measure my stove size?
The width is the most important measurement for your stove. Measure from the left to the right to understand where your stove begins and ends. Do not measure between cabinets; only check the length of the appliance itself. You will also want to measure the height from the floor to the burners – not the control panel. Finally, measure the depth or the length from the wall that your stovetop extends.
