Browse 60cm cookers by fuel
- Electric cookers: an induction or ceramic hob over an electric oven, with no need for gas.
- Gas cookers: burners, oven and grill that all run on gas.
- Dual fuel cookers: gas burners above an electric oven, range-style models among them.
Those pages include 50cm models as well. For a narrower gap, see 50cm cookers; for 90cm and up, see range cookers. All sizes are together on our cookers page.
Options compared
| Option | Suits | Worth checking |
|---|
| Single oven | One roomy oven for large roasting tins. | Whether the grill is built into the oven. |
| Double oven | Cooking two things at different temperatures. | The top oven is the smaller one and usually holds the grill. |
| Ceramic hob | Smooth glass that suits any flat-based pan. | It's slower to heat and cool than induction. |
| Induction hob | Quick, precise heat and easy cleaning. | Your pans need to be magnetic. |
| Gas hob | A visible flame and any pan, woks included. | A Gas Safe registered engineer for the connection. |
Making the choice
Fuel
It's simplest to stay with the supply you already have. For electric, that means a cooker circuit. For gas, a gas point, plus in most cases a socket to power the spark. Dual fuel uses both: the hob reacts quickly on gas while the fan oven, on electricity, gives you even baking.
One oven or two?
Plenty of everyday 60cm cookers are double oven designs: the main oven underneath, and a smaller top oven that grills too, so roasting and grilling can happen together. Single oven cookers, the range-style ones included, give you one bigger space with the grill inside.
Hob
Induction warms the pan directly, boils fast and is easy to wipe. Ceramic is a single sheet of glass and accepts any pan with a flat base. Gas responds the moment you turn the knob, and a flame safety device shuts it off if a burner goes out.
Cleaning
Linings are mostly enamel or catalytic, and some ovens add steam cleaning. A handful are pyrolytic and burn grease to ash at very high heat. Each product page names the cleaning system.
Style
Everyday models come in white, silver, black or stainless steel. If you'd like a range-style cooker in a standard gap, Bertazzoni's 60cm cookers come in its Professional, Master and Heritage series. Colours span ivory and matt black as well as bright yellow, orange and red. Smeg offers its traditional Victoria design alongside modern styles.
Before you order
- Measure the space. Most will suit a standard 60cm gap, but check the height and depth as well as the side clearances in the fitting instructions.
- Supplies. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer may connect gas. Electric cookers, and dual fuel ovens, normally run from a cooker circuit that a qualified electrician installs.
- The hood above. A 60cm hood can generally stay put, as long as its height matches what the new cooker's instructions call for.
- Delivery route. Measure doorways and corners on the way to the kitchen.
The brands we sell
Our 60cm cookers come from Midea.
Buying a 60cm cooker from KDH Electrical
Each cooker carries the full UK manufacturer's guarantee. Delivery is free over £600 and normally takes 3–7 working days. We can install an electric cooker and recycle your old one in our installation area, priced in your basket before you pay. For gas and dual fuel models, you'll need a Gas Safe registered engineer, as we don't connect gas; recycling of the old cooker is still on offer.

60cm Cookers: your questions answered
Will a 60cm cooker go where my old one was?
Usually, since 60cm is the width almost every UK kitchen allows. Still measure your space and compare its height, depth and side clearances with the product page.
How does a 60cm cooker differ from a range cooker?
Mostly in size. Range cookers begin at 90cm and give you more hob space and often more ovens; a 60cm model sticks to four burners or zones over one or two ovens.
What is a double oven cooker?
A cooker with a main oven at the bottom and a smaller oven on top, which normally includes the grill. You can grill and roast together.
Do 60cm electric cookers need special wiring?
Yes. They run from their own cooker circuit rather than a plug socket, connected by a qualified electrician.
Are there range-style 60cm cookers?
Yes. Bertazzoni and Smeg both offer range styling at 60cm, with finishes that include black, ivory and cream as well as red and yellow.
Who fits a gas or dual fuel cooker?
The gas connection has to be made by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A dual fuel cooker also needs electricity for its oven.
