Whether it’s a question of fitting a 5 burner gas stove into a 30-inch opening or planning a full kitchen layout, the measurement rules matter more than the model number.
What Counts As A 5-Burner Gas Stove
The term covers two different appliances, and the size difference between them is substantial. A 5-burner gas range is a freestanding or slide-in unit with an oven below, typically about 30 inches wide, close to 36 inches tall at the counter, and 27–29 inches deep. A 5-burner gas cooktop is a countertop insert with no oven, usually built to a 30-inch class but requiring an exact cutout that is smaller than its nominal width.
Cooktops in the 30-inch class need spec-sheet matching for the cutout, since the hole in your counter rarely equals the appliance’s advertised width.

Heavier-duty options exist. Thermador’s 5-burner ranges hold a 30-inch footprint while offering 24-inch standard or 27-inch commercial depths, which matters if you are fitting a deeper unit into a standard cabinet run.

How To Measure Your Opening Correctly
Take three measurements, and record the smaller number when two sides disagree. This prevents the classic mistake of trusting a tape read from only one side of a slightly crooked cabinet.
- Cutout width: measure from cabinet to cabinet at the front and back. Use the smaller reading.
- Cutout depth: measure from the wall to the front of the cabinet, excluding any door trim. Check both sides; use the smaller number.
- Cutout height: measure from the countertop to the floor on both sides of the opening.
Cooktop clearances vary by model, so the user manual governs final placement.
