ガスコンロ is the everyday word for a gas stovetop. ガスレンジ can mean either a stovetop or a combined unit, but is less common in daily conversation. ガスオーブン specifically means gas oven. If you're talking about the whole appliance, ガスレンジ is safest, but for just the burners, use ガスコンロ.

In English, 'range' often implies the combined stovetop and oven. In Japanese, レンジ alone usually means microwave oven (電子レンジ). To avoid confusion, specify ガスコンロ for stovetop or ガスオーブン for oven.
