what size cooktops come in
Cooktops generally run 30 or 36 inches wide, although some new models can be even larger. Four burners fit on to a 30-inch cooktop, while five or six burners fit on the 36-inch models. Make sure you buy a cooktop that will fit in the space youve allotted for it in your home. Some individuals choose to install cooktops directly over built-in ovens. This is possible if the oven measurements coincide with the size of the cooktop. Most standard wall ovens are either 24, 27 or 30 inches wide.
