Control Locations Burners of the Gas Surface Your range is equipped with gas surface burners with 4 different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. The smaller 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. 1). The STANDARD size burner can be used for most surface cooking needs.
Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size PROPER FLAME SIZE IMPROPER FLAME SIZE Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases the risk of being burned by the gas flame. For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking.
