i hate it how thay never gave me the answer at answer.com poo
Unless you are in a new extremely tight house and using every burner on the stove plus the oven, there is no problem. Compared to the amount of air in a room/house what a stove uses to burn is very little and there is always some venting to the outside somewhere.
I have been cooking with a gas oven and cooktop for about 50 years, and have never had a problem with it in the manner asked in the question. You imply that the gas will somehow be floating around in the room where you are cooking, and that you will be breathing it in, or perhaps it will ignite with a spark, somehow? Unless your gas oven and/or gas cooktop are leaking gas into the room, you will be perfectly safe using them in a closed room. During the winter cold weather, I have the room closed, keeping the cold out. That is, until the room gets hot from baking in the oven! Then, I open windows for a breath of cool air. I have used both the gas cooktop and an electric cooktop, and I love using the gas, and I hate using the electric! When I turn on the eye of the gas cooktop, it comes on immediately. When I turn on the eye of the electric cooktop, it comes on after awhile. It takes several minutes for the electricity to rise to an even heat all around the eye. I'll take gas cooking any day!

IN ADDITION:"You can't see or smell carbon monoxide, but at high levels it can kill a person in minutes. Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced whenever any fuel such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or charcoal is burned. If appliances that burn fuel are maintained and used properly, the amount of CO produced is usually not hazardous. However, if appliances are not working properly or are used incorrectly, dangerous levels of CO can result. Hundreds of people die accidentally every year from CO poisoning caused by malfunctioning or improperly used fuel-burning appliances. Even more die from CO produced by idling cars. Fetuses, infants, elderly people, and people with anemia or with a history of heart or respiratory disease can be especially susceptible. Be safe. Practice the DO's and DON'Ts of carbon monoxide." epa.govYou have a gas stove and want to convert that stove into an electric stove? Maybe it could be done, but at what cost to you?
Disconnecting the gas pipes and installing new electric elements, and changing all the wires on a stove that was made to run on gas would prove to be VERY expensive. In fact it is not a good idea because it would cost you much less to buy a good secondhand or new electric stove AND have the right wiring installed to power it.
If you really want to use an electric stove, first call a licensed gas fitter to remove the existing gas stove and make the gas pipe safe. Then call a licensed electrician to install a new power circuit for you, with the right size circuit breakers, the right size wiring and a new outlet to power an electric stove.
Any field wiring changes to equipment or appliances will void the Underwriters Laboratory and CSA seal of approved equipment. Connection of this type of modified equipment has been known to null and void insurance policies .
there is probably copper being burned somewhere on/in the stove copper is really the only thing that can turn a flame green
A standard commercial gas range (6 burner ) is 36 inches wide, 3 rows of two burners each, 12" wide per row X 3.
it's a gas range full size standing on his own leggs on the floor betwen the cabinets
A double oven gas range has many more features than just the standard oven. While a regular oven would be suitable for the average persons, those who wish to cook more or more experienced would find the double range more suitable. Also there is a price difference whereas the regular oven is cheaper.
Depends on the type, amount of use, upkeep & maintenance. Most should last at least ten years. I have seen some that lasted well over twenty. Depends on the type, amount of use, upkeep & maintenance. Most should last at least ten years. I have seen some that lasted well over twenty.
Many cooks like the immediate change in heat available with gas. There is little or no lag between turning the knob and being able to cook. It is less likely to create hot spots.
It may be setup for propane or natural gas and you are supplying the wrong gas through the Oriphis.
I think you can, but you have to be careful not to put hot ware on something wet, because the difference in temperature will destroy the dish. But as a caution I would not use it on stove top, because the corning ware was not designed for this kind of cooking
Very simply to draw away to cooking odors. They are generally much more important in a small house or apartment without good ventilation. They are great especially when something burns and you don't want the house smelling like smoke, or when you're frying fish or something else with a pungent smell.
You can go to the offical website of Viking Range. Go under consumer, category and select "where to buy". Then you can easily localize the Viking authorized dealers near your geographical location.
The burner is usually fitted to the hole or space in the stove top. Difficult if not impossible to put a larger one in.
a stove top is attached to the top of the oven.. the heat goes through. therefore it gets hot.
Water takes a long time to boil due to its specific heat. Wikipedia answers it with a lot of science (see link) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity
but I have a slightly easier way of explaining it.
So, we're dealing with two actual processes going on here.
1) First, you're raising the temperature of the water from whatever it starts at to 100 degrees C (212 degrees F). Specific heat is a scientific formula that tells you how much energy it takes to increase one litre of something by one degree celsius, and water takes a whole bunch of energy. Metal has a low specific heat, its really easy to warm it up. You can hold a teaspoon of water in one hand, and a penny in the other, and the penny will feel warmer quicker, but it also will cool quicker.
2) The second process is changing the phase of water, from a liquid to a gas. It takes a LOT of energy to change something form a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gas.
Yes you can. If your stove has an electronic starter for the burners, MAKE SURE that you light then using a match or a long bbq grill lighter. When you turn on your burners if you hear a tick, tick, tick sound before they light then you have electric starters and you will need to light then manually. If you don't then you will needlessly put gas vapors into the room which is dangerous. If your stove has a permanently lit pilot light then you are good to go.
A homeowner does not "adjust" an oven that is set up to work on liquid propane (LP) so that it can be used with nautral gas. What must happen is that the gas jets in the burners must be replaced, and this is not generally a job for a homeowner. Call your LP supplier or the gas company to get the scoop. They are professionals who hand out information like this to folks like you just for the asking. They actually want you to call. That way you don't end up in a jam because you dove headlong into modifications that, if done improperly, can end up killing you and/or your family and/or destroying your home. Talk is cheap, so make the call.
I have a g.e. gas cooktop with grey porcelain grates for 8 years and it still looks like new. The only way I have found that works every time is regular ammonia. If you follow these directions you will restore the grates original finish unless the finish is scratched or chipped.
use a pot with a lid large enough to hold 2 or 3 grates. Place a small plastic container in the pot with about 1/2 cup of ammonia. Lay the grates over the cup and place the lid on the pot. Leave the pot covered for at least 12 hours. This will soften the burned on food and grease so that you can scrub off the gunk. For best and easiest way to remove the gunk, scrub with a nylon or course fibrous pad, but do not wet the pad. Dry works best. To make the job easier, spray the grate with a cleaner called Krud Kutter before scrubbing. Let it sit for 10 or 15 minutes then scrub the grate with the pad and rinse in hot water and dry. If there is still gunk or stain on the grate you may need to repeat the process or polish with baking soda. Be patient and don't rush. You must allow enough time for the ammonia to work. It is the fumes and not the liquid ammonia that does the job. If you do not have a pot that will hold the grates then use a heavy duty plastic bag and fold the open end closed to seal in the fumes.
I have tried many other products and methods and none of them worked or even came close to this way. For the baked enamel pans under the grates. spray with Krud Kutter. let sit for ten minutes and rub with a damp sponge. For more stubborn spots polish with baking soda. rinse with clean damp sponge and dry. Wipe off any spills before they bake on and the whole job will be easier and you will be happier. If this doesn't work, buy new grates and follow this method. Good luck, Len.

The flames' color from my range top is both blue and orange. Could I have a problem and if so what might that be?
It still needs a few watts for the clock/timer to run. There has to be electrical power to the gas thermocouple and/or the igniter for the oven to run at all. The electronic ignition (pilotless) for the stove/range needs electricity to function also.
So, I still have this question :-). How many watts does this need?

a gas stove runs on gas, not electricity. So it doesn't have any watts.
The energy comes from the gas which is usually a hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel produces heat energy when it burns with oxygen in the air.
The burning process releases chemical potential energy in the carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced and the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds in the carbon dioxide release heat when they are formed.
Most of the carbon in the gas was originally taken from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the action of plants. With the Sun's heat the plants separated out the carbon and oxygen, which resulted in stored energy, and that is the energy that runs the gas stove.
