Designed with the modern chef in mind, this gas range is appreciated for its precision and versatility, making it an excellent choice for both amateur cooks and seasoned professionals.

One of the most notable features of the GE CGS980 is its powerful gas burners. The range includes an array of burners, each with varying BTU outputs, allowing for both high-heat searing and gentle simmering.

Features such as voice control compatibility with smart home systems further enhance the convenience of the GE CGS980.

Safety is also a priority in the design of this range. The oven includes a safety lock to prevent accidental operation, and the burners have an automatic reignition feature that ensures that if the flame goes out, it will relight without manual intervention.

In conclusion, the GE CGS980 gas range is a perfect blend of power, technology, and design, making it a superb addition to any kitchen.
