Pitt Cooking User Manual

How are the burners installed into the countertop? 

• All units in each burner configuration are mounted onto an established module with a predetermined gas connection. The module is positioned from beneath through cutouts and secured from above by screwing it to the burners by means of the heat shields.  Two joists are supplied and are mounted  to the inside of the kitchen cabinets to provide support to the underside of the module.

How big does my countertop need to be?

• Countertop depth: A minimum depth of 600mm (23-5/8″) applies to every configuration.

• Cabinet width: The minimum cabinet width required depends on the type of configuration selected and ranges from 100mm (11-13/16″) for single-burner cooktops to 1200mm (47-1/4″) for the largest cooktops.

What happens when I let something boil over?

• An essential basic part of the Pitt cooking system is the heat shield, the round piece that the grate rests on.  This part is multifunctional by drawing the heat of the flames upward while serving as a catch tray.  Thanks to the large diameter of the burners most of a boil over and/or spatter will land on the heat shield, which is very easy to clean with a cloth.

Do Pitt cooktops affect my countertop?

• Pitt cooktops are extensively tested. While in use, the temperature of the countertop remains low with minimal heat transfer. As a result, Pitt burners do not affect your countertop. 

• Note that a Pitt cooktop is an appliance that is in ongoing use. Some countertop materials are more sensitive to splattering and staining than others, but this is no different from using a traditional cooktop. 

How many burners do I need? 

• The number of burners desired is entirely dependent on your personal cooking style and the number of people you are cooking for.  The spacious set up of the Pitt burner configurations make it possible to use all the burners at the same time, even with large diameter pots and pans.

What is the capacity of the burners?

• Burner configurations include three different types of burners:

  • Small burner: 1,024 to 6,142 BTU.
  • Medium burner: 1,024 to 10,236 BTU.
  • Large combined wok/simmer burner: 682 to 17,061 BTU. This double-ring burner can be used to simmer as well as to stir fry. Controlled by a single knob.

Can I determine the placement of the burners myself?

• Burner configurations are based entirely on consumer desires and input, however combining configurations with one another is possible. For example, you could create a configuration all your own by combining single burner units or by adding a wok/simmer burner to an existing 4 burner Pitt configuration.  Design your own ideal cooking set up based on your personal cooking style and available counter space.

Which materials are suitable?

• When installed correctly, Pitt cooktops are suitable for installation in countertops made of quartz composite, granite, concrete, terrazzo, glass, ceramic, porcelain, marble, quartzite, onyx and stainless steel.

• Pitt cooktops should not be installed into solid-wood countertops, solid surface countertops (Corian) or into countertops with a high-pressure laminate top layer.
