Know before you buy
The patented Star® shape creates more flame ports than a traditional round burner. This design provides superior flame spread and coverage, which helps eliminate cold spots and ensures more even heat distribution across your cookware.
Yes, this unit is LP convertible. It comes preset for natural gas, but a nozzle set is included in the box to allow for conversion to liquid propane.
While the continuous cast iron grates are durable, they are not recommended for the dishwasher. Because they feature rubber feet, it is best to clean them by hand with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and the integrity of the feet.
This cooktop features an electronic re-ignition system. If the flame is accidentally extinguished, the system will automatically attempt to relight the burner to maintain your selected heat level.
Yes, this model is Star-K Sabbath compliant. It is designed to meet the specific requirements necessary for use during religious observances.
You should measure your current cutout to ensure it matches the required dimensions of 28 15/16 inches wide by 19 1/8 inches deep. It is important to verify these measurements before purchase, as the overall appliance dimensions are slightly larger than the cutout size.
