Empava 24 in. Gas Stove Cooktop, 4 Sealed SABAF Burners, Black Glass
Product description
For a small kitchen or mobile home that needs a built-in gas cooking surface, the Empava 24 in. Gas Stove Cooktop combines four sealed burners with a tempered-glass surface. Its black finish gives the cooktop a defined look, while front-mounted knobs keep the controls at the front of the unit.
It supports natural gas and propane, with both conversion nozzles included. That flexibility may suit a home where the available fuel type matters, but installation still needs to match the cooktop’s specified opening dimensions.
Getting the most from it
The sealed-burner design is intended to keep food from dropping into the burner openings, which may simplify routine cleanup. The manufacturer also describes the tempered glass as resistant to stains and heat discoloration. Buyers’ impressions of cleaning are mixed, though, so the surface should not be treated as maintenance-free.
This is a practical format for everyday stovetop cooking when counter space is limited. The gas burners use knobs, and the listed ignition system is electronic. The product information also describes a flame-failure thermocouple that shuts off gas if a flame goes out. It makes sense if you want a compact gas cooktop with fuel-conversion parts supplied, a simpler purchase focused on a single fuel setup may not need that flexibility.
Why it’s worth it
Four SABAF burners made in Italy, sealed burner openings, and included NG/LP conversion parts give this model a more specific setup than a basic cooktop chosen only by width. It is described as suitable for small kitchens, mobile homes, RVs, light family cooking, and outdoor use. Buyers often praise its appearance and ease of installation, while feedback on functionality is mixed: some report that it works well, and others describe problems with the right side. Those comments are worth weighing rather than treating as a guarantee of how an individual unit will perform.
The manufacturer lists a 2-year limited warranty and CSA certification for the US and Canada. The product is also described as compatible with Empava 24- or 30-inch under-counter single wall ovens. You may want to skip it if you need a cooking surface other than gas, this model is built around gas fuel.
Key points

- Burners: 4 sealed SABAF burners
- Fuel: Natural gas or propane, conversion nozzles included
- Surface: Black tempered glass
- Controls: Front knobs, electronic ignition listed

The cutout dimensions are especially relevant when replacing an existing unit: compare them with the available counter opening before choosing this cooktop. The listed overall dimensions and the required opening are different measurements, so one should not be used as a substitute for the other.
Buying verdict
The Empava is worth considering when you want a 24-inch built-in gas cooktop with four sealed burners, a black glass surface, and the option to convert between natural gas and propane. Its included installation components and stated fit with certain Empava wall ovens may also matter when planning a coordinated setup. Compared with choosing a cooktop for a single fuel type or a different surface design, its main distinction is that combination of convertible fuel and tempered glass. Buyer feedback is not uniformly positive on operation or cleaning, so factor that mixed experience into your decision alongside the published dimensions and your installation requirements.
