Operation of the Burners

• Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to

the setting on the knob.

• The igniter for the selected sealed burner clicks and

sparks.

• After burner ignition, the igniter stops clicking.

• Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and

SIM.

• The blue signal light, between the burner knobs, will

light when adjacent burners are lit. The light will remain

on until the adjacent burners are turned off.

BTU for Standard Burners

• HI is equivalent to 18,000 BTU / HR (15,000 BTU/HR

using Propane).

• SIM is equivalent to 2,100 BTU / HR.

BTU for ExtraLow® Burners

• HI is equivalent to 18,000 BTU / HR (15,000 BTU / HR

using Propane).

• SIM is equivalent to 3,000 BTU / HR.

• XLO is equivalent to 375 BTU / HR when the control

knob is adjusted to the lowest setting in the ExtraLow

range.

The controls for the two left burners, front and rear, have

flame settings even lower than the standard SIM settings.

The drawing shows that the control knob has an additional

range between the SIM and XLO settings. When the knob

is set within this range, the flame cycles off and on. By

varying the length of time the flame is off and on, the heat is

reduced even further to cook delicate foods. For example,

these very low settings are suitable for simmering and

poaching, melting chocolate and butter, holding cooked

foods at temperatures without scorching or burning, etc.

Operation of the ExtraLow Burners

• XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the

flame ON for approximately 7 seconds and OFF for 53

seconds of each minute.

• When the knob is rotated just beyond the SIM setting,

the flame will cycle ON for approximately 54 seconds

and OFF for 6 seconds of each minute.

• To vary the amount of low heat, the control can be set

anywhere within the SIM and XLO range marked on

the knob.

ExtraLow Techniques

• The type and quantity of food affects which setting to

use.

• The pan selected affects the setting. Its size, type,

material, and whether a lid is used, all affect the

consistency of the cooking temperature.

• To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a

rolling boil. Stir well, then cover the pan and lower the

heat to a setting just below SIM.

• Check periodically to see if the control knob should be

turned to another setting.

• If an over-size pan is used, the simmer action may

occur mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the

temperature throughout the food, stir the food around

the outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.

• It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering.

This is especially important when simmering for several

hours, such as for a homemade spaghetti sauce or

beans.

• When lowering the flame setting, adjust it in small

steps.

• If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food

back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.

• It is normal not to see simmer bubbles immediately

after the food has been stirred.

• There may be bubbling when the flame cycles ON and

no bubbles when the flame is OFF. Even when the

flame is OFF, there will be steam and a slight quiver on

the liquid’s surface.
