Free-Standing 120-Volt Dual-Fuel Range a First

The GE Profile free-standing 120-volt dual-fuel range offers the best of both cooking worlds — the responsiveness of gas on the cooktop with the performance and even heating of an electric oven. Consumers with a gas line in their kitchen can plug this range into any dedicated standard 120V/15amp electrical outlet.

GE Appliances is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Supplier 100 of NAHB.

On the range's cooktop:

  • A PowerBoil™ burner delivers 17,000 BTUs of forceful heat for rapid boiling.

  • A Center Oval Burner adds a fifth element to the center of the cooktop to accommodate large cookware and deliver ideal results.

  • Pancakes or grilled cheese are a snap with a non-stick griddle that offers a flat cooking surface placed over the center oval burner, for cooking multiple foods at once.

  • A Precise Simmer burner delivers a low setting of 140 degrees, ideal for delicate foods and sauces.

  • Dishwasher-safe continuous grates allow for easy movement of pots and pans between burners.


The the oven:

  • A TrueTemp™ system provides even heat distribution and maximum oven control.

  • A 5.0-cu.-ft. extra-large oven capacity gives consumers the room they need to cook large meals.

  • A Fast Preheat feature provides gas-assisted preheating to increase heat output and reduce the wait it takes to reach the temperature setting.

  • A Warming Drawer provides variable temperature control for keeping foods warm.


The GE Profile free-standing 120-volt dual-fuel range (model J2B912) is available in stainless steel, white on white, bisque on bisque and black on black. The estimated retail price ranges from $1,399-$1,649.
