GAS COOKTOP WITH INTEGRAL BURNERS

摘要

A gas cooktop that is provided with a plurality of integral burners such that the cooktop may be hinged adjacent its rear edge to an underlying support housing so that the cooktop may be raised in the front for cleaning and servicing therebeneath. Each integral burner has a burner opening in the cooktop and an annular pan sealed about its inner and outer peripheries to the underside of the cooktop to form a burner manifold. Downwardly inclined radial gas ports are formed in the manifold to create a flame pattern within the burner opening. A separate source of secondary air is furnished beneath each burner and the air comes from all sides to flow through the burner opening by using a partitioned cover plate beneath the cooktop. A utensil-supporting grid is centered over each burner and it has a central annular flame spreader and an outer flame diverter to keep the cooktop from being overheated in the area surrounding each burner.
