RETAILOBSERVER.COM JANUARY 2021 24 FOTILE INTRODUCES NEW TRI-RING BURNER COOKTOP GLS30501 FOTILE's new 30" stainless steel 5-burner gas cooktop features a versatile 21,000 BTU center-mounted Tri-Ring burner that works wonderfully whether you are looking to power boil water quickly, or need quick high-intensity heat for sautéing, frying or searing. A dedicated 3,000 BTU Simmer burner is included on the right-hand side of the cooktop allowing for accurate and consistent heat for delicate cuisines, and the two left burners deliver 13,000 BTUs each, offering high heat along with optional griddle control. The cooktop also features Flame Failure Protection – meaning that if the flame goes out accidentally, a safety device will activate and automatically cut off the gas supply. KEY FEATURES: Low-Profile Stainless Steel Design: • Our low-profile cooktop mounts seamlessly into your countertop, creating a minimal integrated solution with professional-grade hardware and matching stainless steel design. Tri-Ring Versatile 21,000 BTU Center Burner with Wok Support: • Our Tri-Ring burner is the most versatile burner we've ever made. Whether you are looking to power boil water quickly, or need quick high-intensity heat for sautéing, frying, or searing, the 21,000 BTU Tri-Ring Burner has maximum efficiency. Flame Failure Protection: • If the flame goes out accidentally, a safety device will activate and automatically cut off the gas supply to the cooktop, even if the burner knob is still on. Edge to Edge Cooking Grates: • We use cast iron cooking grates that run from edge to edge on the cooktop. This means you will always have space to put small and large pots and pans no matter what size or shape they are. It also allows you to move a hot, heavy pot easily and safely from one burner to another if you need to. Easy to Clean: • It features sealed burners, so liquids will not seep into the burner mechanism. The burner caps and cast-iron cooking grates are removable so you can hand wash them in warm water and soap, and then you can wipe down the cooktop surface to keep it clean.
