No problems with workmanship and quality of the product, provided by builder. However, the oomph is missing with this model. Heating a pot of water takes forever and never reaches a vigorous boil. Add pasta and you're lucky to get a boil within the prescribed time cooking time. So frustrating. The flame pattern spreads into too big a radius, heating the side of the pot as well, nothing in the middle area where immediate heat is desired. Use a smaller flame and it just doesn't heat up quickly enough due to less output.
Frigidaire, is there a way to update the cooktop with different flame patterns (multiple flame rings)?

Hello, moikmoik.
Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with us and congratulations on your new home!
I’m disappointed to learn you’re not getting the most optimal performance from your cooktop.
Based on the details you provided, it seems you may need to rethink what each burner’s job does.
The center burner (POWER) is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. Your upper right burner (SIMMER) is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. and the remaining burners (STANDARD) are best used for most surface cooking needs.
Did you know? When switching your gas range to liquid propane gas it lowers your cooktop BTU power output.
Should you need us or have any additional questions about your cooktop’s features, please contact us by dialing 800-374-4432. Our representatives are ready to assist Monday through Friday from 8:30 am-8pm EST.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our old Cooktop had started failing after 20 years. This was a good upgrade with the Stainless Steel and Sealed Burners. I like the way the Grates go all the way across the stove. Tonight I'm going to tryout the Big Burner and boil a Ham Bone and make soup.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cooktop came with my house 4 months ago, it does what its suppose to do but one of the knobs broke after 3 months, I'm hoping this is not indicative of what may happen to the other knobs in the future or once the warranty has expired. One caveat, Frigidaire quickly sent a new knob to my residence and that goes a long way with me, taking ownership of their defective part, things happen but did their part to make it right, thanks!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gas cooktop is nice, but the knobs are not very durable. We have already have two knobs that are broken. The replacements are hard to find, too.
