Locations of the Gas Surface Burners (See Figure 4)
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.
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface cooking
needs. This standard burner is located at the left front position on
the cooktop.
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
positions on the cooktop.
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.
