1.2.2''Capacity (10.3).

1.2.3''Heatup energy efficiency and energy rate (10.4).

1.2.4''Production capacity (10.4).

1.2.5''Simmer energy rate (10.5).

1.2.6''Surface temperature uniformity, optional, (10.6).

1.2.7''Pilot energy rate (10.7).

1.3''The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4''This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
