Great Cooktop
on March 4, 2021

Conveniently and timely shipped to home. Easy installation. Very pleased with the quality and professional look of the gas burners and sturdy cast cooking grates. The three cooking grates lift off for easy cleaning. We have received many compliments from friends concerning the look of the glass cooktop.

Know What You are Getting

When our electric cooktop top shattered by a dropped bowl, I replaced it with this gas cooktop. A couple of issues:
1. The gas cooktop dimensions covered the hole in the counter, but were a little shorter in width and length than old electric cooktop. I had to add a wood frame underneath to keep the cooktop centered and from falling through if pushed too far to one side.
2. The cast iron grates sit high which reduces the dimension from the top of a pot on the stove to the microwave and exhaust fan above. Check the minimum dimensions for your microwave and exhaust fan to make sure you have enough clearance. Ours was 18", barely enough.
3. Burners come in different sizes with a small one and big one one the front, and 2 medium size on the back, and largest burner in the center. I would prefer the 2 medium size burners to be on the front since we use them the most.
4. The control knobs are on the front that makes the burners further away from a person standing. I would prefer the control knobs on the side allowing the burners to be closer to the front.
5. Control knobs are small and round. To light you have to push down, hold, and turn until igniter lights the flame, and has enough heat to stay lit. I would prefer larger knobs.
6. If knob is held too short of a time, or somehow the flame goes out, gas will turn off.
7. Out of the box, the cooktop is set for natural gas. If you want to use with propane, the propane orifices are included. The cooktop also has a gas regulator, that has a natural gas setting and propane. You have to unscrew the diagram spring cover and flip the spring cover over so the N is down, and P is up. This takes a little knowledge and skill to make sure this is done right.
8. The gas control knob does not have enough range of control. The flame tends to be high even on the smallest burner at the minumum setting. Certain sauces have to be constantly stirred so the don't burn and stick to the bottom of the pot.
9. The cooktop is made in China, not Italy.

With all this said, the gas cooktop is well made and reliable. When you clean the cooktop, there a lot of parts to remove. Be careful not to drop the cast iron grates, they would likely break.
