5.4 Power Thermal Spreading (PTS) System
The Landmann PTS system ensures optimal heat distribution across the entire cooking surface. This technology minimizes hot and cold spots, providing consistent cooking results. The flame tamers beneath the grates are integral to this system, protecting the burners and vaporizing drippings for enhanced flavor.
