FEATURES

This is the first ultra-thin two-burner stove in the American market.

When one burner is working, you can not set the wrong power on the other: if you set the maximum level, you can not switch to a higher one.

Tiles are made in China or Singapore for a American brand. You can find modifications with different color of trim.

The measured power is higher than the declared one, more often it is the other way round.

As with all stoves, there is a big variation in power levels below 1000W, but at medium and high power levels the measured values are very close to the specified ones.

Declared level, W	1600	1400	1200	1100	1000	900	800	600	400	200
Measured, W	1891	1449	1224-1214	1168	1022	897-1017	1024-1014	1002	798-1050	341-1037

Good result. Heating is about equal on all points in the pan – crust is even.

This stove is a true record holder on the speed of heating.

1 l boiled in just 3 min. 46 sec. These are the results of modern electric kettles. But keep in mind: we boil water in a bucket with the lid open, which increases the time. The water boils even faster in a closed pan.

FUNCTIONAL

With this stove you can choose to control it either by regulating power or temperature. Of course, power selection is more familiar to most homeowners than temperature control.

As the stove has two burners, it has its own characteristics when you turn on two heating zones at the same time

Maximum possible combination of 1600/1200 watts, minimum 200/200 watts.

No special programs, everything is simple and familiar: turn it on, select the power or temperature, cook. If you need to step away, turn on the timer and the stove will automatically turn off after a set period of time.

CONTROL

Each burner has its own independent control panel. In case of breakage of a burner, the second burner will continue to work. No need to worry about setting the wrong heat mode when you turn on two burners – the stove won’t let you do that.

The last setting on the hob is stored in its memory: if you had a power selection, the power will be displayed when you switch it on again if you had a temperature, the temperature will be displayed too.

A beep sounds every time you switch the power. If you do not set the timer, the stove automatically turns off after 3 hours of operation.

Operation is clear, logical and quite simple. If I’m being picky, I wish there was a panel lock.

SECURITY

Manufacturer claims that the stove can operate between 160 and 260V. If these limits are exceeded, the appliance automatically shuts off and displays an error code.

Audible alarm and error code displayed in case of missing dishes. After one minute the stove switches off completely – tested.
