Do you know these 8 essential facts about Britannia range cookers?
Here are 8 important features, options and specifications that you might not know about yet. We assume that by the time you are reading this post, you have browsed our website. You have seen that there are a variety of styles, fuel types, colours and sizes available. You may have checked our oven functions. In this blog post we are not going to discuss all these basics. These are the points that you might have missed:
1. Quickstart
Thanks to Quickstart all Britannia 60cm ovens reach a temperature of 200°C in just 6 minutes! That’s about three times faster than most conventional ovens.
2. Chef Top conversion kit
If you buy a Britannia range cooker with a Chef Top, then you receive a conversion kit free of charge! The conversion kit comprises two pan supports, so you can convert your Chef Top to an extra burner (this is an elongated burner) – ideal for cooking salmon or other fish in a fish kettle.
3. Plinth kits
You do not like the freestanding look of most of our range cookers? If you prefer to hide the legs, then plinth kits are available in matching colours and sizes. Please note that these are not suitable for extra high legs.
4. Grilling
The range cookers of our XG collection have a separate grill compartment, but did you know each of our ovens feature an integrated grill?
5. Extra high legs
All range cookers (excluding the XG collection) have height adjustable legs to fit kitchen furniture of 90-91cm high. As some specialist kitchen furniture can be taller than that, we have extra high legs available to suit heights up to 100cm.
6. LPG
All our gas hobs are convertible to LPG. Because our ovens are electric, a bottle of gas will last quite a while. Click here to find out more about LPG range cookers.
7. Oven lights
Do you think oven lights come as standard for all range cooker ovens? This is not the case! But don’t worry, all Britannia ovens do come with an oven light as standard.
8. 2.5mm gaps
Britannia range cookers are well insulated and you only need to leave a 2.5mm gap either side of the range cooker.
Bonus tip: Colourange
If you haven’t found a range cooker in the colour you’d like, then Colourange could be for you. We can custom-finish our range cookers in any colour you can dream of. Click here for more details about Colourange.

I have been selling Britannia range cookers for 4 and a half years now and I must say that the ‘Quickstart’, ‘Chef Top’ and ‘XG’ are great features and certainly a must have on any cooker. I have a Britannia range cooker and Quickstart is my favourite.
The Colourange from Britannia reminds me of the Dulux/B&Q adverts years ago where you take a swab of any colour (the one I remember is a lady cutting off a bit of material from a person’s coat sitting in front of her on the bus). Every kitchen is different so this is ideal for getting a cooker in that perfect colour.

I think a lot of Britannia owners agree with you that Quickstart is a great feature - so many of us are too busy these days to hang around waiting for the oven to pre-heat.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
