Ok I nearly fainted today when I saw a 120 volt dual fuel range.
Usually top burners use gas, and the oven and broiler use 220v elements.
Picture this, take a regular 30-inch-wide free-standing GAS self-cleaning stove. Add an electric bake element. remove the gas broiler tudbe (wasit-high in the main oven cavity; replace with an electric element.)
The oven uses gas to get to temperature quickly; then swithes over to electric to maintain it. I am assuming the self-clean *Pyrolitic* cycle uses gas to get the high tmerpeatures needed.
I eoudl guess this is all accomplised by a two-stage "thermosts" or actually an electronic thermister.
I wonder if the gas burner fires up immediately when the oven door is opened (to couteract quick heat loss), or if the temp drop below a certain number of degrees of the desired temp. setting does it.
A Frigidaire self-cleaner in gas, with sealed burners can be had for $340 in this area, This toy is that PLUS $1,000.
Still a very wise use of the electronic computer/brain and
