Belling Farmhouse 100EI Cream 100cm Electric Range Cooker with Induction Hob

The Belling RCAFARM10EIC is a 100cm wide electric range cooker with three oven cavities and a total of 194 litres of cooking capacity. Part of the Cookcentre family, it sits at a practical mid-size width that suits most kitchen layouts without dominating the room.

The hob is a 5-zone induction hob with touch controls and 9 power levels plus a booster. It heats the pan directly, not the surface, making it faster and safer than ceramic. Link+ Technology lets you join two zones together for larger pans or griddles. The main oven is fanned and multi-function with 5 functions including AirFry with a dedicated tray included. The second oven adds 4 more functions. A slow cook setting is also available across the cavities.

Controls are fully electronic with an LED/LCD display and a programmable oven timer. Safety features include pan overheat detection, a hob child lock and a hob timer. The oven lining is enamel throughout. The energy rating is A. Shelves total 4 plus 3 across the cavities with 9 and 5 shelf positions respectively.

Three-year parts and labour guarantee backs this cooker. Two ovens, AirFry, induction speed and Link+ Technology make this a well-specified 100cm range cooker in cream.

This cooker is 100cm wide and 600mm deep. You need a clear gap of at least 1000mm in your kitchen run. It can sit freestanding between base units but check that overhead cabinets meet the clearance height above 900mm. At 82.18kg it is a two-person lift and should not be moved alone. It suits a medium to large kitchen where a full range cooker width is practical.

The main oven holds 89 litres and takes 4 shelves across 9 positions. That is enough space for a large turkey or a full roast with multiple trays. Use the 70-litre second oven at the same time for roast vegetables or a pudding. The 42-litre third cavity handles side dishes or keeps plates warm. All 5 induction zones are live at once so you can run five pans simultaneously. The AirFry tray fits in the main oven for chips or breaded food without a separate countertop appliance.

The 5-zone induction hob uses electromagnetic fields to heat the pan base directly. This means the glass surface stays cooler and heat transfer is faster than ceramic. Link+ Technology bridges two adjacent zones electronically to form one larger zone for griddle pans or fish kettles. The main oven uses a fan to circulate heat from a rear element giving even temperatures across all shelf positions. The second oven operates conventionally with top and bottom heat. Electronic controls manage both cavities via an LED/LCD display with a programmable timer. Enamel lining in all cavities retains heat effectively.

This cooker carries an A energy rating. The induction hob heats the pan directly so less energy is lost compared to ceramic or solid plate. For everyday meals use the 42-litre third cavity rather than the 89-litre main oven. The fan in the main oven circulates heat evenly so you can cook at lower temperatures and reduce cooking time.

This cooker needs a dedicated high-current electrical circuit. A qualified electrician must carry out the installation to meet UK wiring regulations. The kitchen gap must be at least 1000mm wide. The cooker weighs 82.18kg so two people are needed to position it. Check the manufacturer's installation guide for exact side and overhead clearance figures. Contact the retailer to confirm whether delivery includes unpacking or old appliance removal.

The oven lining is enamel. Clean it by hand using warm soapy water or a suitable oven cleaner after the oven has cooled. Remove shelves and clean separately. Wipe the induction hob surface with a damp cloth as spills do not bake on at the same rate as ceramic. Keep the cream finish clean with a soft cloth. Maintaining the cooker properly supports your 3-year guarantee.

The body is finished in cream-painted steel. The hob surface is toughened black glass. All oven cavities are lined with enamel. The oven doors feature multi-pane glass to reduce outer surface temperature. The control panel is electronic with touch-sensitive hob controls and a digital display fascia.
