A Stove....

One of the amenities listed under kitchen is a Stove. I looked up on Internet the definition of a Stove.

But there seems confusion about it : is it a cooking device with or without an oven or can it be both  ?

In my kitchen is a cooking device, supplied by gas with 4 places for a pan.

In Dutch it is called "kookplaat", which Google translates as "Cooker".

 

On the Dutch Airbnb website the "Stove" amenity  is called a "Fornuis".

But a "Fornuis" is a device for cooking facilities AND and a built in oven underneath.

 

I am confused.....

Oh, and hob is another term. Here in the UK it is true that we are more likely to say 'cooker' than stove, as someone mentioned earlier, but I think 'hob', whether gas or electric, is very commonly used too.
