## Cooking Products On this page, you will find information on DOE's energy conservation standards, test procedures, public meetings, and additional information pertaining to residential kitchen ranges, cooktops, ovens, microwave ovens, dishwashers, dehumidifiers, and cooking products as well as commercial clothes washers.

In October 2008, the U.S Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to amend the energy conservation standards for residential gas kitchen ranges and ovens and microwave ovens. DOE has tentatively determined that energy conservation standards for residential electric kitchen ranges and ovens are not technologically feasible or economically justified, and,therefore, is proposing a "nostandard" standard for these products. DOE is undertaking this action be cause the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment, and requires DOE to determine whether amended, more stringent, standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy.

_ standards/residential/cookin g_p roducts...In addition, DOE published a Final Rule for Electric Cooking Products on September 8, 1998, to address the energy conservation standards for electric cooking products (including microwave products) and substitute the term "cooking products" for the current obsolete term "kitchen ranges and ovens". This rule became effective on October 8, 1998. DOE also amended its test procedures for Kitchen Ranges, Cooktops, Ovens, and Microwave Ovens which was published on October 3, 1997.

Prior to these meetings, DOE held an informal public meeting on April 27, 2006, to discuss and receive comments on issues to be addressed in the Framework Document for establishing energy conservation standards for residential electric and gas ranges and ovens and microwave ovens, dishwashers, dehumidifiers, an d commercial clothes washers.
