1. What are the advantages of using a gas cooktop?

Electric cooktops are a modern alternative to gas cooktops, but the traditional classic still has many advantages. Chefs often prefer gas cooktops due to the instant control over the heat. Gas burners also tend to heat faster, and cookware is usually designed for gas cooktops for stovetop grilling, searing and simmering.

2. Do gas cooktops need to be vented?

The Altus 4 burner gas cooktop does not require outside venting as modern gas cooktops burn natural gas effectively. However, people who are sensitive to gas fumes are still recommended to open a window or have ventilation to ensure the health and safety of all inhabitants.

3. Can you use a gas stove without electricity?

Gas burners still require electricity to spark the flame safely. Without electricity, your gas range will become unable to give the released gas a means of ignition from the appliance.
