It must be a gas (LP/NG) range then? I've run two house fires (well, one "smoke in house" and one kitchen fire) caused by folks switching from electric to gas ranges. They thought they could store stuff in the bottom "drawer" on the gas stove like they did in their electric stove. But the oven burner sits right above that drawer, with an open flame to heat the oven. So it works great as a broiler, but not so great for storage of combustible kitchen wear and such.
