COOKTOP USEYour new professional gas range or cooktop is equipped withburners typical of those used in restaurants. These burners aredesigned in two pieces for maximum cleanability and con-trollability. The center, smaller cap covers and protects thesimmer burner from boil overs, that could put the flame out.This cap also spreads the simmer burner heat out to avoidtoo much heat being concentrated on the center of the pan.The simmer burner is always on when the burner is in use.The burner should never be operated if the simmer cap is notin place.All the cooktop burners have electronic spark ignition toeliminate continuously burning pilots, when the port ring ison and the flame is blown out, it will relight. This two pieceburner has a (BTU) range at the highest of 15,000 with avariable simmer that has a range between 1250-500 (BTU’S).After cleaning, it is important to make sure the locatingpin on the top side of the burner base is properly alignedwith the corresponding slot in the burner base. Incorrectalignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame andpoor burner performance.When standing in front of the range, the locating pin onthe burner base and corresponding slot in the port ring islocated at approximately the 3 o’clock position. See the fol-lowing illustration at top of next column.Your new professional cooktop has exceptionally low simmer-ing capabilities. The center simmer cap serves as a heat dif-fuser to spread out the heat to avoid having a center hotspot.Keep in mind that because of the high heat capacity of theouter burner, and the mass of the cast iron burner grates(they retain heat longer than lighter, conventional grates)some foods may continue to cook by retained heat after theburner has been turned off.The simmer burner is lit from the outside burner flame. Theflame travels over the port ring and crosses over onto the sim-mer burner located just beneath the simmer cap. When light-ing only the simmer burner always light the main burnerfirst. This will in turn provide the ignition source for the sim-mer burner. Look to ensure that the simmer ports are litbefore turning the knob down to the simmer position.Should a strong draft or boil over extinguish the simmerSIMMER CAPSIMMER FLAMESIMMERINGPORT RINGSIMMER CAPLOCATING PINLOCATING SLOTBURNER BASESIMMER CAPSIMMER FLAMEPORT RINGBURNER BASE605 fig. 32 .epsBURNERS8
