Size and configuration
What range size and configuration do I need?
Determine which configuration and range size works best for your kitchen to ensure a smooth installation with a seamless fit.
Range sizes
Most ranges are designed to align with standard kitchen layouts, but dimensions can vary by model. In general, range sizes typically measure about 29 15/16” wide, 36” to 47 1/16” tall, and 28 5/16” to 28 11/16” deep, with up to 6.3 cu. ft. of oven capacity. It’s important to measure your available width, height, and depth in advance. Taking accurate measurements helps ensure your range fits properly between cabinets and counters, preventing installation issues and keeping your kitchen layout looking sleek.
Range configurations
Choosing the right range configuration is key to ensuring your appliance fits your kitchen layout and your design aesthetic. Samsung offers two primary configurations: freestanding and slide‑in. Freestanding ranges are built for flexibility and can be placed almost anywhere in the kitchen, making them perfect for open floor plans or spaces without surrounding cabinetry. Slide‑in ranges are designed to fit neatly between cabinets for a more tailored, built‑in look best suited to kitchens with classic layouts.
Color and finish
What are my range color and finish options?
Is your kitchen more contemporary or classic? Bold or understated? Now you can find the perfect match for your aesthetic and elevate the look of your space with sleek ranges built to tackle everyday life. Choose from a variety of colors and finishes including matte black, white glass and stainless steel.

How do I choose the right range size?Choosing the right range size starts with precise measurements of the height, width and depth of your cabinet opening. Most freestanding and slide-in kitchen ranges are about 30 inches wide, but the exact height, depth, handle clearance and door-opening space vary by model.
Before buying:
• Measure the cabinet opening and the path from your entrance to the kitchen.
• Confirm countertop, cabinet and ventilation clearances.
• Leave enough space for the oven door to open fully, especially when a kitchen island is nearby.
• Compare your measurements with the model’s full product and installation dimensions. -
What is the difference between gas and electric ranges?The main difference between gas and electric ranges is how the cooktop produces heat. A gas range uses an open flame, while an electric range uses radiant heating elements beneath coils or a smooth glass cooktop.
• Gas ranges provide a visible flame and responsive temperature changes, but they require a compatible gas connection and effective ventilation.
• Electric ranges provide steady heat, a smooth surface that is generally easier to clean and installation without a gas line, but they typically require a dedicated 208/240-volt electrical connection.
Both types may include convection, Air Fry and smart features, depending on the model. The better option depends on your existing utility connections, cooking style, cleanup preferences and budget. -
What is the difference between gas and induction ranges?Gas and induction ranges both offer responsive temperature control, but they heat cookware differently. A gas cooktop uses an open flame, while an induction cooktop uses an electromagnetic field to heat induction-compatible cookware directly.
• Gas provides a visible flame, works with most cookware and requires a gas connection and effective ventilation.
• Induction typically heats faster, transfers more energy to the cookware, offers precise control and has a smooth surface that is easier to clean. It requires magnetic cookware and a compatible 208/240-volt electrical connection. -
What are the benefits of a gas range?The main benefits of a gas range are responsive heat control, a visible flame and flexible burner power for different cooking tasks. Gas burners heat immediately and work with most types of cookware, making it easy to move from a high-heat boil or sear to a low simmer.
Gas ranges may also include powerful front or center burners, convection cooking, built-in Air Fry, Flex Duo™, Wi-Fi connectivity and SmartThings controls, depending on the model. A gas range is a strong option for cooks who prefer traditional flame cooking and already have a compatible gas line. Explore Samsung gas ranges to compare available features. -
What are the benefits of an electric range?Electric ranges provide steady, consistent heat and a smooth cooktop surface that is generally easy to wipe clean. Electric ovens also produce dry, even heat that can support consistent baking and roasting. Because an electric range does not require a gas line, it may be easier to install in kitchens that already have the correct electrical connection.
Depending on the model, electric ranges may include convection or Convection+, built-in Air Fry, self-cleaning modes, Wi-Fi connectivity and remote monitoring through SmartThings. Explore available electric range options in this buying guide to compare sizes, oven capacities and cooking features. -
What is the most energy-efficient kitchen range?An induction range is generally the most energy-efficient type of kitchen range because it transfers heat directly to the cookware rather than heating an open flame or cooktop surface first. According to ENERGY STAR, induction cooking transfers about 85% of its heating energy to the cookware, compared with only about one-third for gas cooking products.
-
Which type of range requires ventilation?Proper ventilation is recommended for all range types, including gas, electric and induction. A range hood or ventilation system helps remove smoke, steam, grease, odors and excess heat while helping protect your walls, backsplash and kitchen cabinets. Ventilation is especially important for gas ranges because they produce combustion byproducts.
-
What is the difference between a slide-in and freestanding range?A slide-in range is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets for a more built-in, seamless look and usually places the controls on the front. A freestanding range has finished sides and may include a backguard with controls on the back or front, giving it more flexibility to sit between cabinets or at the end of a cabinet run.
Both designs are available with gas or electric cooking, and select slide-in models also use induction or dual fuel. Choose a slide-in range for a streamlined countertop appearance or a freestanding range for flexible placement and a traditional design. Always compare the exact cutout and product dimensions before installation. -
What features should you look for in a kitchen range?Look for kitchen range features that match your cooking habits, kitchen layout and installation setup:
• Fuel type: gas, radiant electric, induction or dual fuel.
• Size and capacity: range width, oven cubic feet, rack positions and door clearance.
• Oven performance: conventional, convection or Convection+ cooking and options such as Flex Duo™.
• Cooking modes: built-in Air Fry, Air Sous Vide and other preset modes.
• Cooktop performance: burner power, flexible cooking zones, rapid boil options or griddles.
• Cleaning and durability: Self Clean, Steam Clean and scratch-resistant cooktop surfaces.
• Smart features: Wi-Fi, SmartThings controls, Smart Oven Camera and AI Home display on select models.
Compare ranges by fuel type, size and features to find the best fit for your kitchen. -
What is the standard size of a kitchen range?The standard kitchen range width is approximately 30 inches for most freestanding and slide-in models. The cooktop surface is typically around 36 inches high so it aligns with standard kitchen countertops, while the total height may be taller on freestanding ranges with a backguard. Depth varies by model and may change depending on whether handles and the open oven door are included.
Before buying, measure the cabinet opening and review the exact width, height, depth, handle clearance, open-door depth and required installation clearances for the specific model. -
Is a gas, electric or induction range better for your kitchen?The best range for your kitchen depends on your utility connections, cooking preferences, cookware, ventilation and budget.
• Gas range: Best for cooks who prefer a visible flame and fast, responsive heat adjustments. It requires a compatible gas connection and effective ventilation.
• Electric range: A practical choice for steady heat, a smooth cooktop and easier cleanup. It typically requires a dedicated 208/240-volt electrical connection.
• Induction range: Best for fast, precise and energy-efficient cooking with a smooth surface that is easy to clean. It requires induction-compatible cookware and the proper electrical connection.
A dual fuel range is another option, combining a gas cooktop with an electric oven. Compare each range type based on your kitchen setup and how you cook most often.
