Highlighted by strikingly commercial styling, the versatile 30-Inch Freestanding Dual-Fuel Range ERD30 retains many of the best loved features of Dacor's home use ranges.

Not one, but two timers are offered to make it possible to time multiple kitchen tasks simultaneously. Ventilation can be handled with a traditional overhead hood or you may opt for Dacor's novel raised vent. Halogen lights are brighter and better, making it much easier than ever before to see inside your oven. True convection provides a third heating element that works to provide one of the most even and accurate oven temperatures.

All in all, this range is a solid unit with the ability to deliver top-shelf cooking performance in the limited space of 30 inches. Top quality gas burners with brass valves are paired with one of Dacor's renowned electric convection ovens. Smooth-glide grates are a big 14 inches wide, allowing for effortless transfer of pots from one burner to another. Equally impressive are the stable Glideracks that literally glide in and out of the oven and prevent tipping when heavy foods, such as turkeys and roasts, are placed on them.

Although the oven is electric, the broiler is of the preferred gas-ceramic infrared type and supplies the powerful output of 13,000 Btu. A broiler like this can easily mimic the performance of meats prepared in your favorite restaurant. The four gas burners each offer the high output of 15,000 Btu. As expected, the burners offer electric ignition and re-ignition and hold a simmering low flame as well as a flaming high one. A wide selection of trims, backsplashes, and accessories make it possible to tailor this model to the way you cook as well as to the individual design of your kitchen.

An excellent choice, the ERD30 is a costly one--but one that can bring the dream of commercial cooking into a home of almost any size.
