Sealed Star®

Brass Burner Base

The cooktop features four or six gas surface burners; each rated at 15,000 BTU/HR (13,000 BTU/ HR using Propane). 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.

The control knobs for two sealed gas burners, one in front and one in the rear, are located directly in front of and below the pair of burners on the control panel.

•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.

•HI is equivalent to 15,000 BTU / HR (13,000 BTU/HR using Propane).

•LO is equivalent to 2,100 BTU / HR.

BTU Output for ExtraLow® Burners

•HI is equivalent to 15,000 BTU / HR (13,000 BTU/HR using Propane).

•LO is equivalent to 3,000 BTU / HR.

•XLO is equivalent to 370 BTU / HR.

Range

ExtraLow® Burner

Control Knob

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 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.
