Know before you buy
The Gas-on-Glass surface is generally easier to clean than stainless steel because it lacks the crevices where grease and crumbs typically accumulate. You can simply wipe the flat ceramic glass surface clean after the grates have cooled.
Yes, this model is compatible with both fuel types. It comes with an included LP conversion kit, allowing you to switch it to liquid propane if natural gas is not available in your home.
Yes, this cooktop is designed to remain functional during power outages. While the electronic ignition requires electricity, you can manually light the burners with a match or lighter if the power is out.
While the cast-iron grates are durable, they are heavy and can be cumbersome to fit in a standard dishwasher. We recommend hand-washing them with warm, soapy water and drying them thoroughly to maintain their finish.
The full-width cast-iron grates create a continuous, level surface across the entire cooktop. This allows you to slide heavy pots and pans from one burner to another without having to lift them, which is safer and more convenient.
The 17,000 BTU burner is powerful enough to handle high-heat tasks like searing steaks, stir-frying, or bringing large pots of water to a boil quickly. It offers a significant performance boost over standard household burners.
