Slide-In Electric

The differences between the types of ranges lie in the installation and the location of controls. While slide-in ranges are designed to fit between cabinets, freestanding models allow you to configure your kitchen how you like through the choice of built-in or stand-alone placement.

Freestanding ranges are built with a backguard that houses the controls. On slide-in ranges, which do not feature a backguard, range controls are displayed prominently at the front of the appliance.

If you’re looking for the perfect appliance for fueling your busy kitchen, it’s important to know where the key differences between slide-in and freestanding ranges lie.
