Before Setting Surface Controls

Locations of the gas Surface Burners
The STAnDArD sized burners are used for most surface
cooking needs. These burners are located at the center
rear and right rear positions on the cooktop. They can
also be used as SIMMEr burners with the simmer plate
to simmering delicate aliments as chocolate, sauces, etc.
The POWEr burners are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when
preparing larger quantities of food. These burners are
located at the right front and center front (when both
portions of the burner are in use) positions on the
cooktop.
The BrIDgE burner is best suited when using
rectangular or long shaped cookware. The left rear and
left middle are combined and controlled by the same
control knob. The left front burner may also be added for a
total of 3 burners.
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.

do not use the cooktop without all burner caps properly
installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame size.

and burner grates are properly installed and in the correct
locations BEFOrE operating the cooktop burners.
