BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners
with diff erent BTU ratings. The ability to heat food
quickly and in large amounts increases as the burn-
er size increases.
•
Small burners are best used for low-fl ame heat-
ing of small amounts of food.
•
Standard burners can be used for most surface
cooking needs.
•
The largest burner is best used for bringing
large quantities of liquid rapidly up to tem-
perature or when preparing larger quantities
of food. The large burner is located at the right
front position 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 set the fl ame size
appropriately for the pan. Never allow fl ames to
extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
