- 1.1 These test methods cover the energy consumption and cooking performance of range tops. The food service operator can use this evaluation to select a range top and understand its energy consumption.
1.2 These test methods are applicable to gas and electric range tops including both discreet burners and elements and hot tops.
1.3 The range top can be evaluated with respect to the following (where applicable):
1.3.1 Energy input rate (see 10.2), and
1.3.2 Pilot energy consumption (see 10.3).
1.3.3 Heat-up temperature response and temperature uniformity at minimum and maximum control settings (see 10.4), and
1.3.4 Cooking energy efficiency and production capacity (see 10.5).
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are prov......
