Your cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with diff erent BTU 
ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as 
the burner size increases.

  The small

etc. This burner is located at the right rear burner position on the 
cooktop.

  The 

• 

REGULAR

 burners can be used for most surface cooking needs. 

  The 

• 

POWER

 burner is best used when preparing larger quantities of 

food and it quickly bring liquids up to a rolling boil. 

  The 

• 

DUAL RING

 burner gives precise control from 18,000 BTUs all 

the way down to 600 BTUs. The small inner ring is used for optimal 
simmering, while both rings are used for even heat distribution and 
maximum power.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the 
amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and fl ame size 
appropriate to the pan. Never allow fl ames to extend beyond the outer 
edge of the pan.
