For Best Results
• Bring food to a boil; stir well to be sure all the food
is boiling, then cover and reduce the setting to the
XLO zone.
• Use a lid to keep a more constant cooking tempera-
ture.
• Use a higher XLO setting if the pan is uncovered.
• Check the food occasionally to see if the control
knob should be turned to a lower or higher setting.
• If the control knob is set too low to maintain simmer,
bring the food back to a boil before setting a higher
simmer setting.
• It is normal to stir food occasionally.
• Simmer bubbles may not be seen when the flame has
cycled OFF.
• While the flame is ON, there may be bubbling.
• There should be at least steam and a slight quivering
of the liquid’s surface while simmering.
How They Work
• The burner flame will cycle ON and OFF each minute
when the setting is at any position between LO (past
detent) and XLO.
• The length of time the flame is ON and OFF depends
on the knob setting.
• With a setting just below LO, the flame will be ON
approximately 53 seconds and OFF 7 seconds of
each minute.
• With a setting at the lowest XLO position, the flame
is ON approximately 7 seconds and OFF 53 seconds
of each minute.
• The knob can be set to any position between LO and
XLO.
Thermador® ExtraLow Burners
Two burners are enhanced with the ExtraLow (XLO
®
)
feature. When the control knob is set within the
XLO zone, the flame cycles OFF and ON auto-
matically for varying seconds every minute. This
cycling is normal and allows you to simmer, poach,
melt or hold cooked food without scorching or burning.
COOKTOP OPERATION – ExtraLow® BURNERS
(MODELS SGSX304/SGSX365/SGSX456)
This feature is not on all models.
IMPORTANT: The two XLO burners cannot be
used during a power failure. Be sure to turn knobs
OFF if a power failure occurs. The burners will not turn
back on until both control knobs are turned OFF and then
turned back ON again after power has been restored. See
