That's fine... you have a gas countertop hob and two gas wall ovens.
But she didn't say anything about having electric wall ovens, she said
electric stove... a stove is a combination of oven and top burners. It
makes not a whit of sense to install a gas countertop hob (like yours)
and keep an old electric stove just for its electric oven. A normal
person would have gotten rid of the old electric stove and replaced it
with a gas stove. There is absolutely no benefit to an electric oven
over a gas oven... however an electric oven costs some 30% more to
operate over a gas oven.
