EXTRALOW TM BURNERS
(ModelsGGS/SGS)
The left front 9,100 BTU/HR burner
and left rear 11,000 BTU/HR burner
are designed to provide flame set-
tings which enable you to simmer,
poach, melt and hold cooked food at
a serving temperature, without
scorching or burning. This is accom-
plished by cycling the flame OFF and
ON for varying lengths of time.
HOW THEY WORK
The BTU/HR usage on the 9,100
BTU/HR burner ranges from HI
(at 9,000) to XLO (at 300). The
BTU!HR usage on the 11,000
BTU/HR burner ranges from HI
(at 11,000) to XLO (at 365).
There are an infinite number of
settings between HI and XLO; the
control knob can be set at any po-
sition.
The burner flame will pulse ON
and OFF when the setting is at any
position between LO and XLO.
The length of time the flame is ON
and OFF varies.
With a setting just below LO, the
flame will be ON approximately
50 seconds and OFF 10 seconds of
each minute.
With a setting at the XLO position,
the flame is ON approximately 10
seconds and OFF 50 seconds of
each minute.
FOR THE BEST RESULTS
Temperature control will be more
accurate if a lid is used.
Bring food to a rolling boil; stir
well to be sure all the food is boil-
ing; cover and reduce the heat to
just below LO.
Check periodically to see if the
control knob should be turned to a
lower setting.
