Doesn't have electronic ignition

This product really seems in need of a full review. I received it a few days ago and installed it in a small bachelor house. This is normal for a purpose cooking for one person. Benefits--1. Gas burners come in different sizes to fit small, medium or large pans. I like it very much.2. It's what they call "Dual Fuel" which means it can run on both LPG (propane) and natural gas. It has a replacement kit but comes with the LP option installed. That's what we wanted, so it's good.3. You can even plug it into a 120V outlet with an extension cord. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, since an electric range uses little electricity and does not require a full high-power cycle. The advantage is that you can use an electric torch without gas, which is what happens here when the weather is too cold (-40 F) for propane. The downside is that it doesn't get very hot. The description says it has a 1000w or 2000w electric hob. I think that means the 120v model uses 1000w and the European 240v model uses 2000w for the burner - for example the burner is the same but the wattage rating depends on the voltage. It looks good. The upper part is made of stainless steel, without holes through which drips could get into the burners or under the hob. It should be easy to clean. Cast iron grills look good and are a pleasure to use. The stove has space for several pots, although it is small. Cons - 1. There is no gas torch lighter. It has what looks like a spark connector for each burner, but no spark. I've looked closely at the description and it doesn't really say he has spark lighters; the clamps appear to be sensors for the flame safety system. I don't know if they work. This is annoying because it was supposed to have spark lighters built in, and also because the description uses endearments to hide the fact that it doesn't. Either that or it broke. What is worse? 2. The torch controls are in odd places that don't match the torch position. You'll have to look closely at the indicator icons to see which burner you're turning on, and then manually light it. Moderately annoying and possibly a security issue. Overall - fit for purpose and better than the old one it replaces.

Pros
  • Cookers, ovens and hobs
Cons
  • Poorly designed
