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. This standard burner is located at the left front position on the cooktop.
The POWER burners are best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The 2 POWER burners are located at the right front and left rear positions 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.
