Electric Cooking Range

Can I use 230 volt 50 hz electric cooking range on 230 volt 60 hz supply. The available ranges in market are mostly 50 hz. I could not find electric cooking range for 60 hz.

Yes. Resistance heaters don't care about frequency very much.

While lyn is correct that resistance elements don't care about frequency, other "elements" of the range might care a lot; i.e., if there is a synchronous motor driven clock or timer it will run 20% faster, or there may be some electronic controls that might not react well to the wrong frequency (though many don't care). So if the range has mechanical switches and you don't care about the clock/timer running a little fast, then go for it.
