Belling RCA Farmhouse 100E Anthracite Electric Range Cooker

The Belling RCA Farmhouse 100E (RCAFARM10EAN) is a 100cm wide electric range cooker finished in Anthracite. It has two main oven cavities plus a third cavity giving a total of 194 litres of cooking capacity. That is a serious amount of oven space for a family kitchen. The main oven is 89 litres and the second is 70 litres.

The hob is a ceramic glass surface with five cooking zones and a dedicated warming zone. Power levels go up to 8 with an 8+1 dual zone. The main oven is fanned and multi-function with 5 functions. The second oven has 4 functions. There is a built-in air fry function with a tray included and a slow cook setting too.

Controls are electronic with an LED/LCD display and a programmable oven timer. You get 4 shelves in the main oven across 9 shelf positions and 3 shelves in the second across 5 positions. The oven lining is enamel. The ceramic hob wipes clean easily. Energy rating is A.

A 3-year parts and labour guarantee backs this cooker. Two large oven cavities, air fry, slow cook and a five-zone ceramic hob make this a practical workhorse for busy households.

This cooker is 100cm wide and 600mm deep. You need a kitchen gap of at least 1000mm. It can sit freestanding between base units or in a proper range recess. At 82.18kg it is a two-person lift and should not be dragged across a floor without protection. Allow the correct side clearances and check your hood height before fitting.

The main oven at 89 litres usable will take a large turkey or a full tray bake with room to spare. You get 4 shelves across 9 positions so multiple trays can run at once. Use the 70-litre second oven at the same time for roast vegetables or a second dish. The third 42-litre cavity handles sides or warming plates. All five ceramic hob zones are live at once so you can run a full roast with pans on the hob simultaneously.

The ceramic glass hob uses radiant heating elements beneath the glass surface. Five zones operate independently with 8 power levels and an 8+1 dual zone that links two zones for larger pans. The main oven uses a fan to circulate heat from a rear element giving even temperatures on all shelf levels. The second oven runs as a conventional electric cavity. Electronic controls manage both cavities with a programmable timer and LED/LCD display. The enamel lining on both cavities helps retain heat and makes the interior easier to wipe clean.

This cooker carries an Energy Rating A. The fanned main oven circulates heat evenly which reduces cooking time and cuts energy use compared to a conventional oven. For everyday meals use the 42-litre third cavity rather than heating the full 89-litre main oven. Smaller cavity means less energy used to reach temperature and less wasted heat.

This cooker needs a dedicated 240V mains circuit installed by a qualified electrician. The unit is 996mm wide so your kitchen gap must be at least 1000mm. It weighs 82.18kg so two people are needed to position it. Check your cooker hood manufacturer's guidance for the minimum clearance height above the hob. Installation and clearance details are not stated on the product page so confirm with the retailer before ordering.

The oven lining is enamel. Wipe it down after each use while still warm to stop grease baking on. Remove shelves and wash separately. The ceramic glass hob needs a dedicated ceramic cleaner and a soft cloth once cooled. Never use abrasive pads on the hob surface. Keeping the enamel clean and undamaged helps protect your 3-year guarantee.

The body is finished in anthracite. The hob surface is ceramic glass. Both oven cavities are lined with enamel. The oven doors feature glass panels. No further material specifications are stated on the product page.
