Abstract: A cooking range has a pair of side panels as its main structural members. A range top, back panel, bottom member and oven frame are all secured to the side panels and a heat insulated oven shell having an open front is supported at its forward end by the oven frame and by spaced brackets engaging the back panel. Heat conductive contact between the oven shell and oven frame, between the oven frame and side panels and between inner and outer walls of the side panels is minimized by forming upstanding pads on one of each of the pairs of members and through which suitable fastening means extend. The pads are of small area and are the only portions of the members that are in direct contact.
