SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP
SEALED BURNERS
USING THE COOKTOP
The cooktop features four or six gas
surface burners; each rated at 15,000
BTU/HR. The burners are sealed to
the stainless steel top frame to
prevent liquid spills from
accumulating below the top surface,
making it easier to clean.
On all models, the two left burners
have the exclusive ExtraLow‚ feature;
the remaining burners are standard.
Each burner has its own control
knob.

OPERATION OF THE

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

stop clicking.
• Rotate the knob to any flame
setting between HI and LO.
• The Blue Burner Signal Light,
between the burners, will light
when adjacent burners are lit. They
will remain on until the burner is
turned off.

ExtraLow
®
Burners
The controls for the two left burners,
front and rear, have flame settings
even lower than the standard LO
settings.
The drawing shows that the control
knob has an additional range between
the LO and XLO settings. When the
knob is set within this range, the
flame pulses 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.
