Control Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
Your cooktop 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 burners can be used for most surface cooking needs. The
one or two (36" models only) burners are located at the left rear and center
rear positions on 36" models.
The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly
up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The POWER
burner is located at the right front and left front burner position on the
cooktop.
