Tests show dramatic savings in fuel
consumption Mien open burner ranges are compared to hot top ranges:
Similar
quantities
of water boil in up to one-third less time on the open burner range.
Boiling similar
quantities of water requires up to 55 percent less fuel on the open burner range.
Hot tops must be preheated. Preheating takes 30 to 60 minutes. The gas flame on the open burner range comes on instantly when you need it. No preheating necessary! Tests show additional energy can be conserved no matter what kind of range top you have.
Covering pans reduces energy
consumption On open burner ranges by up to 20 percent.
On hot tops by up to 35 percent.
Heating larger quantities of food can he done more efficiently than heating smaller quantities of food.
On open burner ranges, Btu consumption per pound was reduced up to 19 per¬cent when the quantity of water heated was doubled.
On hot top ranges, Btu consumption per pound was reduced up to 20 percent when the quantity of water heated was doubled.
