The RGM8658UC is not a cooktop in the usual sense – it is a gas rangetop, 35 15/16 inches wide and 25 3/4 inches deep, with six burners and a 77,000 BTU total, and controls on a raised front fascia rather than on the countertop. A rangetop drops into a cabinet run the way a slide-in range does but has no oven beneath it, which is why it is usually paired with wall ovens elsewhere in the kitchen. The depth is the number that catches people out: at nearly 26 inches it needs a deeper cabinet than a conventional cooktop.
