Sealed Gas Burners
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility to be used in a wide range of cooking applications.
The smallest burner in the right rear position is the simmer burner. This burner can be turned to LO for a very low simmer setting. It provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time.
The medium (left rear) and the large (left front) burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general- purpose burners can be turned from HI to LO to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
The extra large burner (right front) is the maximum output burner. Like the other three burners, it can be turned from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking applications; however, this burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It has a special POWER BOIL™ setting designed to be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.
| How to Select Flame Size |
| For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames |
| extend up the sides of the cookware. |
| Watch the flame, not the knob, as you |
| reduce heat. The flame size on a gas |
| burner should match the cookware |
8 | you are using. |
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
