Premium European Construction

SMEV is an Italian manufacturer specializing in high-quality RV and marine products:

• 304-L category stainless steel — engineered for heavy industrial applications

• Heat-resistant safety glass integrated lid

Compact Teardrop Design

The teardrop shape is engineered for compact van, small trailer, and truck camper installations where space is at a premium.

JetFlow Technology — 33% Less Gas, Higher Temperatures

SMEV's JetFlow technology delivers meaningful performance advantages:

• 33% less gas consumption vs competitor models
• Higher cooking temperatures despite lower gas usage
• Longer propane tank life for boondocking or extended trips

2 Burners — Sealed Design

• Small burner: 3,700 BTU/hr
• Large burner: 7,200 BTU/hr
• Sealed burner style — easier to clean than open burners

⚠️ Understanding RV Cooktop BTUs

RV cooktops are designed smaller than household cooktops — an average household cooktop has a BTU rating of 10,000. RV cooktops produce less heat than large residential burners.

Elevation performance: This cooktop is rated for elevations up to 4,500 feet. Operation above this reduces BTUs by 4% for every 1,000 feet above 4,500 feet (e.g., at 8,500 feet, expect ~16% BTU reduction). Caused by reduced oxygen and air/fuel mixture changes.

Piezo Ignition + Safety Shut-Off

• Piezo ignition — reliable spark ignition without electrical power
• Thermocouple safety shut-off — automatically shuts off gas if flame is extinguished

⚠️ Low-Pressure Propane Only — 11" W.C. Required

Critical installation detail: this cooktop requires low-pressure (11" W.C. / 0.5 PSI) propane. In an RV, this is standard — every RV has a low-pressure regulator between the propane tank and the interior appliances.

SMEV cooktops require the hookup of low-pressure propane AFTER the regulator. If your installation doesn't have a pre-existing RV propane system, you'll need to set up a low-pressure propane system.
