Market language
The terms a useful comparison should define
- Cooktop
- A shallow drop-in cooking surface set into the counter, sometimes approved above a compatible oven or cabinet under exact clearance rules
- Rangetop
- A deeper built-in burner chassis with front controls that occupies cabinet-face space and usually changes support, back trim and ventilation requirements
- Input rating
- A burner's stated gas input, commonly in BTU per hour; it does not by itself predict pan temperature, speed, efficiency or low-heat control
- Regulator
- The device that supplies gas at the appliance's specified operating pressure; fuel, inlet pressure, orientation and conversion must match the exact guide
- Make-up air
- Replacement air provided when a hood exhausts indoor air; the required method depends on airflow, house pressure, other combustion equipment and local code
