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. The standard burner can be
used for most surface cooking needs. The standard burners
are located at the left front and left rear positions on the
cooktop.
The power burners are best used for bringing large quanti-
ties of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing
larger quantities of food. The power 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 flame size
appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend
beyond the outer edge of the pan.
