What is the direct heat output from a range cooker?

Hi,

We are planning to move an existing range cooker to the new extension/kitchen.

I am not familiar with the range cooker at all, but currently heats the radiators and the water (with oil). It looks like it is a quite expensive range cooker so we thought it would be good idea to re-use it.

I would like to know if there is direct heat coming from a standard range cooker. And if so, is this something that can be controlled (turned on and off as required) or not? The new kitchen/living will have 50sqm and we are considering a woodburning stove and radiator/s to heat the space, but maybe the radiator/s or the stove are not needed if there is direct heat from the range cooker??

One other question, the house is to be used seasonally. I was reading these range cookers take a while to run properly and can be a bit tricky to operate. Maybe it is bad idea to re-use the range cooker at all...?

Your comments are welcome.

P.S- I don't have many details about the range cooker, other than the brand and the model name, but I am not sure if sharing them would be against the forum rules.
