Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How can I contact Town Appliance for help with Elica range hoods?

You can reach our customer service team by calling, texting, or using WhatsApp. All contact options can be found on our Contact Page.

What is a freestanding electric smoothtop range?

A freestanding electric smoothtop range combines an electric cooktop with a built-in oven in one appliance. The smoothtop surface uses radiant or ceramic elements beneath a flat glass surface, giving you an easy-to-clean workspace and a modern look that fits most kitchens.

What are the benefits of a smoothtop cooktop?

Smoothtop cooktops heat evenly, offer precise temperature control, and provide a flat surface that’s simple to wipe down after cooking. They also allow pots and pans to sit level, which helps support consistent results.

How do I choose the right freestanding electric smoothtop range?

Consider the width of your cutout space, the oven capacity you need, and whether you prefer features like convection baking, expandable cooking zones, or self-cleaning modes. Each model lists detailed specifications that make it easy to compare features and choose the right freestanding range for your kitchen.

Are freestanding smoothtop ranges safe for all cookware?

Most standard cookware works well on a smoothtop surface, including stainless steel and heavier pans. Avoid rough or warped bottoms, which can scratch the glass. Always check your cookware labels for compatibility recommendations.

How do I clean and maintain a smoothtop range?

After the surface cools, wipe it with a soft cloth or non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn spots, use a smoothtop-safe scraper. Regular cleaning helps maintain the glass surface and keeps cooking performance consistent.

Do you offer nationwide delivery for freestanding electric smoothtop ranges?

Town Appliance provides nationwide delivery for many freestanding electric smoothtop ranges, though availability and fees depend on your ZIP code and any brand restrictions. Once your range ships, you’ll receive tracking information by email, and you can check your order status online as updates appear. Shipping scans may take 24–48 hours to show.

How can I contact Town Appliance if I have questions about these ranges?

You can reach out to our customer service team by calling, texting, or using WhatsApp. All contact options are listed on our Contact Page.

Are flat top stoves better than coil top stoves?

Flat top stoves offer even heating and a smooth surface that’s easy to clean, making them a great choice for households that value convenience and versatility. Whether flat top stoves are better depends on your cooking preferences: a gas cooktop gives you faster heat control, while induction flat tops, or electric cooktops, provide greater energy efficiency and safety.

What pans and cookware cannot be used on a flat top stove?

Avoid heavy, rough-bottomed cookware like raw cast iron, stoneware, glass or ceramic pans and any pot with a warped or uneven base, because they can scratch or crack the smooth surface of flat top stoves. Steer clear of rounded-bottom woks and pans that don’t make full contact with the cooktop, as they heat unevenly and can damage the ceramic glass.

How do you clean a glass ceramic electric cooktop?

Allow the glass ceramic electric cooktop to cool, then wipe away loose debris with a soft cloth and warm soapy water; for stubborn burnt-on residue, use a razor scraper held at a 30° angle and a non-abrasive cooktop cleaner formulated for flat top stoves. Rinse thoroughly and buff dry with a microfiber cloth to restore shine and prevent streaks.
