Burners
Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with
different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker
and in larger volumes increases as the burner size
increases.
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right
rear burner position on the cooktop (see Figure 4).
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The standard burner is located at the
left front position on the cooktop (see Figure 4).
The POWER burners are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when
preparing larger quantities of food. The POWER
burners are located at the right front and left rear burner
positions on the cooktop (see Figure 4).
Regardless of size, always select cookware that
is suitable for the amount and type of food being
prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to
the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer
edge of the pan.
