Some kitchens are built for function. Others for flair. But your kitchen? It’s built for stories—like the kind told over golden-crusted casseroles, seared steaks, or air-fried midnight snacks. The Equator 24” Electric Cooking Range (ECR 244) doesn’t just cook—it transforms your daily meals into culinary achievements. Behind its gleaming white-and-stainless finish lies a symphony of ceramic burners, convection airflow, and multi-function baking, ready to respond to every craving and culinary ambition. It’s a compact masterpiece with a generous 2.4 cu. ft. oven capacity and five distinct oven functions, including Bake, Broil, Grill, Air Fry, and Defrost. Whether you’re prepping a weeknight dinner or entertaining with flair, the ECR 244 offers power and precision wrapped in elegant simplicity. And yes, it even remembers to keep things clean with a smooth ceramic surface and anti-rust exterior because beauty should be more than skin deep.
