Slide-In Electric Range Dimensions & Cabinet Fit

How big is a slide-in electric range?#

A slide-in electric range is 30 to 36 inches wide and a low 36 to 38 inches tall, built to sit flush between cabinets with its cooktop overlapping the counter. The table below lists the 30-inch, front-control, and 36-inch versions.

Slide-in electric range dimensions by configuration#

Installation clearances for a slide-in electric range#

• Countertop overlap: 1 in in the slide-in electric range cooktop overlaps the countertop on each side to hide the seam.
• Cabinet cutout width: 30–36 in in of base-cabinet gap a slide-in electric range needs, matched to the countertop cut.
• Counter-depth match: 25–29 in in deep so a slide-in electric range front sits flush with the cabinet face.
• Anti-tip bracket: A slide-in electric range still bolts to a rear floor anti-tip bracket even though it looks built in.

Will your slide-in electric range fit? Clearances and door swing#

The whole point of a slide-in is the flush, built-in look, so the fit hinges on how it meets the counter rather than a tall backguard. The cooktop overlaps the countertop about 1 inch on each side to hide the seam, so the base-cabinet gap has to match both the range width and the counter cut — plan a 30 to 36 inch opening depending on the model. Depth runs 25 to 29 inches so the front panel lines up with the cabinet faces instead of jutting out. There is no backguard, which keeps sightlines to the backsplash clean, but that also means the electrical connection has to land low behind the unit. Despite looking permanently built in, the range still bolts to a rear floor anti-tip bracket, so install that before pushing it back.

Slide-in electric range sizes by type: 30-inch slide-in electric range, 30-inch front-control slide-in range, 36-inch slide-in electric range#

The three versions differ in width and where the knobs live. The 30-inch slide-in, 36 to 37 inches tall and 25 to 28 deep, is the mainstream flush-fit range for a standard 30-inch opening. The front-control version keeps the 30-inch width but moves the controls to the front face for an uninterrupted backsplash, running a touch deeper at 26 to 29 inches. The 36-inch slide-in widens the cooktop to 27 to 29 inches deep for a larger kitchen that wants more burners in the same flush profile. Match the width to your cabinet gap first, then choose front controls if you want the cleanest backsplash line.

Slide-in electric range dimensions: common questions#

How wide is a slide-in electric range?#

Slide-in ranges come in 30 and 36-inch widths. The 30-inch size is standard, while the 36-inch version suits a larger kitchen with more counter to give.

Does a slide-in electric range overlap the countertop?#

Yes. The cooktop laps the counter about 1 inch on each side, which hides the seam and gives the built-in look. That overlap is why the counter cut and the range width must match.

What cabinet cutout does a 30-inch slide-in range need?#

A 30-inch slide-in needs a 30-inch base-cabinet gap, sized to the countertop cut so the cooktop can overlap the edges. Confirm the counter cut before setting the range.

How deep is a slide-in electric range?#

Depth runs 25 to 29 inches so the front sits flush with the cabinet face. Front-control models land at the deeper end of that band.

Is a slide-in range the same width as a freestanding one?#

Both share the standard 30-inch width, so a slide-in can replace a freestanding range in the same gap. The slide-in simply drops the backguard and overlaps the counter for a built-in look.
