Belling RCA Farmhouse 110E 1100mm Electric Range Cooker Ceramic Hob Anthracite

The Belling RCA Farmhouse 110E (RCAFARM11EAN) is a 110cm wide electric range cooker in Anthracite. It is the largest model in the Farmhouse electric series and delivers a massive 194 litres of total cooking capacity across three cavities. That is serious cooking space for a busy household.

The ceramic glass hob has five cooking zones plus a dedicated warming zone. You get eight power levels with a dual zone for flexibility. The main oven is fanned with five multi-functions including slow cook and AirFry and the AirFry tray is included so you do not need a separate appliance on your worktop. The second oven is conventional electric and the third cavity adds another 42 litres of usable space.

Controls are fully electronic with an LED/LCD display and a programmable oven timer. The oven lining is enamel and the hob is easy-clean ceramic glass. The cooker carries an energy rating of A which keeps running costs down. Ignition is automatic throughout.

Belling has been making range cookers for UK homes for over a century. This model backs that up with a 3-year parts and labour guarantee. Three ovens, AirFry included and a warming zone on the hob it covers everything.

This cooker is 1096mm wide and needs a kitchen gap of at least 1100mm. It sits freestanding between units or in a range recess. The depth is 600mm which is standard with most kitchen runs. At 92kg it needs two people to move and position it. Allow clearance above and to each side as specified in the installation guide to protect surrounding cabinetry from heat.

The main oven at 70 litres (60 usable) will take a large turkey or a full tray bake with room to spare. Use the second 70-litre conventional oven at the same time for roast vegetables or a second dish. The third 42-litre cavity handles side dishes or keeps food warm. All five hob zones are live at once so you can run five pans simultaneously. The warming zone keeps sauces or serving dishes at temperature without overcooking.

The ceramic glass hob uses radiant heating elements beneath the glass surface. Five zones heat independently with eight power levels each and one zone has a dual setting for larger pans. The main oven uses a fan to circulate hot air from a rear element giving even heat across all shelf positions. With nine shelf positions in the main oven you can run multiple trays at once. The second conventional oven uses top and bottom elements. Electronic controls manage all functions and the LED/LCD display shows the timer and oven settings clearly.

This cooker carries an A energy rating which is efficient for a 110cm electric range. The fanned main oven circulates heat evenly so it reaches temperature faster than a conventional oven. For everyday meals use the 42-litre third cavity rather than the 70-litre main oven a smaller cavity uses less energy to heat up and maintain temperature.

This cooker needs a dedicated 45-amp double-pole electrical connection. A qualified electrician must carry out the installation. The kitchen gap must be at least 1100mm wide. The cooker is 900mm tall and 600mm deep so check clearances above and to the sides against the installation manual. At 92kg it is a two-person lift. Contact the retailer to confirm whether delivery includes removal of your old appliance.

The oven lining is enamel so wipe it down after each use once it has cooled. Do not use abrasive cleaners as these damage the enamel surface. The ceramic glass hob wipes clean with a specialist hob cleaner. Remove shelves and clean them separately. Keeping the enamel in good condition is important for the 3-year guarantee to remain valid.

The body is finished in Anthracite enamel-coated steel. The hob surface is ceramic glass. Oven cavities are lined with enamel. The oven doors feature multi-pane glass to reduce external surface temperature. The overall finish is described as timeless for a traditional farmhouse look.
