All ranges are equipped with an exclusive restaurant style sealed burner system.  This unique burner system is equipped with three diff erent size 
burners ranging from 8,500 to 20,500 BTUs.  

The 20,500 BTU burners are designed to provide extra high heat output, especially when using large pans, and should be used for boiling 
large quantities or if you need to bring something to a boil quickly.  While the high output burners have the extra power needed to bring large 
quantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, they are also able to be turned down low enough to provide a very low and delicate simmer making this the 
most versatile burner system. 

  
Lighting Gas Burners

All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-fl ame, “standing” pilots.
To light the surface burners, choose the appropriate control knob.

 
Push and turn the control knob counter clockwise to any position between high and simmer.

This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position with the automatic re-ignition system. If the fl ame 
goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still fl owing. When gas is permitted to fl ow to the burners, the electric 
igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do not, turn off  the control and check that the unit is 
plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position 
to adjust the fl ame size. Setting the proper fl ame height for the desired cooking process and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in 
superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.

Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. Simmering 
ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume of food can 
have a signifi cant eff ect on how high or low a fl ame is needed for simmering. For this reason, the range burners are engineered with a variable 
simmer setting. This setting is not just one simmer setting, but provides a variable range of simmer settings. The variable range of simmer 
settings allows you to adjust the fl ame height to achieve the best simmer depending on the type and quantity of food being simmered. 

• Use low or medium fl ame heights when cooking in vessels that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron. Reduce the 

fl ame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the cooking vessel and 

reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.

• Reduce the fl ame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the cooking vessel. A fl ame that extends along the sides of the vessel is potentially 

dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead of the food, and wastes energy.

 •  Reduce  the  fl ame height to the minimum level  necessary to perform the desired cooking process.  Remember that food cooks just as quickly at a 

gentle  boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a higher  boil than is necessary wastes energy,  cooks away   moisture,  and causes a loss in food 

fl avor and nutrient  level.

• The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6” (15 cm). Use of pots or pans 

as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible with the trivet accessory.

Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cookware that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done. Any and all 

cookware are suitable for use in the range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic cookware with commercial cookware. This is 

a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide 

maximum performance and convenience.
