Cooktop Burners High Performance Burners* On 36" (91.4 cm) models, there are 2 high speed burners, located in the left front position (17,000 Btu/h) and in the right rear position (12,500 Btu/h). On 30" (76.2 cm) models, there are 2 high speed burners, located in the right rear position (15,000 Btu/h) and left front position (17,000 Btu/h).

Simmer Burners* Simmer burners are located in the right front position and left rear position on 36" (91.4 cm) models or in the right front position on 30" (76.2 cm) models. The simmer burners offer a lower Btu/h flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate. *Btu/h rating will vary when using LP gas. Power Failure The ignition feature will not operate during a power failure. In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise. After burner lights, turn knob to setting. Surface Burners IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges. Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the "General Cleaning" section. Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap. A Alignment: Be sure to align the notch in the burner cap with the pin in the burner base and to align the orifice holder in the burner base with the igniter electrode. A B C E D A. Burner cap B.
