- Can ASKO’s cooktops be used on LPG?Yes, they can but you need to order an LPG conversion kit from ASKO. You cannot order other branded LPG conversion kits as they will not work.

- Why won’t the gas stay ignited after turning the cooktop on?After selecting the burner you wish to use turn the knob and hold the knob down for three seconds until the gas ignites. This is a safety measure and makes it difficult for children to accidentally turn on the cooktop on.
