Control Locations of the Gas Surface 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 Fig. 4).
The STANDARD burner can be used for most surface
cooking needs. The standard burners are located at the left
front position and left rear position (some models) on the
cooktop (see Fig. 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 (some models) burner positions on
the cooktop (see Fig. 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.
