Method of pan detection and cooktop adjustment for multiple heating sections

A cooktop comprising:

• a burner unit, including:
• a first group of radially-spaced fuel outlets extending from an interior to an exterior of the housing;
• a first aperture extending through the housing and spaced outward of the first group of outlets;
• and
• a second group of radially-spaced fuel outlets extending from the interior to the exterior of the housing and spaced outward of the first aperture;
• and
• a fuel supply line having a first portion fluidically coupled with the first group of outlets and a second portion fluidically coupled with the second group of outlets;
• a valve positioned within the first portion and moveable between a closed configuration when the pin is in the extended position and an open configuration when the pin is in the depressed position.

A burner assembly for a cooktop, comprising:

• a housing defining a center and having:
• a first fuel outlet extending horizontally from an interior to an exterior of the housing and spaced at a first radial distance from the center;
• a first aperture extending vertically through the housing and spaced at a second radial distance from the center, the second radial distance being greater than the first radial distance;
• and
• a second fuel outlet extending horizontally from the interior to the exterior of the housing and spaced a first radial distance from the center, the third radial distance being greater than the second radial distance;
• a first switch assembly mounted within the housing and including a first pin extending upwardly through the first aperture to an end positioned above the housing, the end of the first pin being moveable in a first direction inward and outward with respect to the housing;
• a fuel supply line having a first portion fluidically coupled with the first fuel outlet and a second portion fluidically coupled with the second fuel outlet;
• and
• a valve positioned within the second portion and moveable between a closed configuration when the pin is in the extended position and an open configuration when the pin is in the depressed position.
