Great value and great looks!

In my case I bought both this cooktop and one of their wall ovens and built my own island designed to accomodate both.
The only reason I didn't give the cooktop 5 stars is because there are some small foibles in installing the cooktop that could be rectified by a few small changes:
#1 If you are using LP(propane) it's not enough for you to just install the orifices, you have to separate the glass top from the stamped metal bottom(by removing the stamped plates underneath the cast iron grates, just 2-4 screws each) to access the adjusting valves. Start the flame, turn it to low setting, then adjust it further down for LP use. (which has more BTU's than gas) This will also make the resolution of the flame much better. It's not that big a deal, but I had to have several "back and forth"'s with Empava via email before someone was nice enough to send me a video show the process. (the language was Asian of some sort, maybe Vietnamese? Didn't matter though, I understood what was going on)
#2 The regulator sent with this unit stinks. As someone else noted you have to buy a fitting to conver it from "G" threads(European) to NPT stuff we use here in the States and if you try to use their regulator you'll have to buy 2 of such fitings. Futher, it takes up valuable space if you use it under the cooktop and over their oven. So instead, I bought a two stage regulator that hooks directly into my 100lb propane tank and it supplies exactly what I need to the oven. (11" wc)
If they would have had better instructions on the propane conversion and supplied the proper fittings for 1/2" NPT and regulator use I would have given it 5 stars. But I'm certainly happy now that I've figured it all and it's all done.
One last point, the igniter uses 110V, but I only had 240v coming in to the oven I replaced so I used a step down transformer to get the voltage I needed. They do offer a 240v or AA battery igniter in Europe with this same cooktop and it'd be a good option if they did it here too.
Overall though, I'd like to say that after all the hassle in setting it up I'm now very happy and it looks and performs great.

Great little cooktop

Fun space saving cooktop. We used it with the propane conversion parts, works great. That's a 10 inch pan in the front for size reference (I couldn't find any photos with a 24 inch cooktop with pots and pans on it!) Very happy with it.

Nice Unit - ignitor issues
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: F. G.
Overall I like this unit. Install was easy and it seems to be of good build quality. However, the front left ignitor stopped working shortly after install. They are sending me a whole new unit rather than parts which is good I guess but now I need to un-install the unit and put in the new one. Hence 4 stars.

We bought this cooktop a few months back after our old one stopped working. It was installed with no issues and we've had no issues since it was installed. We love cooking on it and would recommend this product!
