Gas slide in oven heats up kitchen

I have a second home that has a propane range oven that looks cheap but it works. The trouble is it heats up the kitchen a lot while using.
I can't find anything discussing the insulation in slide ins. Do you think new ones would be better insulated and less likely to heat up the kitchen so much???
Had anyone ever dealt with this?

What is in your primary home? Does it not heat up the area as well? I have a 30 inch gas range that heats mine kitchen up considerably.

Electric and the heat is not that noticeable.

My gas oven has a blower fan that exhausts the unit while cooking and cooling. I'll bet that gas units are expelling more heat during cooking and less than cooling vs a not vented electric. Oh, I am not an engineer nor expert in any field.

I believe gas ovens naturally heat up the kitchen more simply due to their design.

My parents have one, and it heats up their kitchen a lot, too.

The worst thing for kitchen heat, except in mid Winter, in my experience has been a glass top range. My grandparents old gas oven/range unit was about a foot from the walls and other cabinets and such due to the heat it produced. (Less than the modern glass tops).
Current gas oven/range the heat is greater using stovetop than any heat off the stove. We’ve still been doing more takeout the last month though to eliminate the heat though.
Electric stoves seem more effective in insulation in general. Probably just due to inherent design. In this case perhaps form and function work together.
