COOKTOP OPERATION – ExtraLow® BURNERS

(MODELS SGCS304/SGCS365/SGCS456)

This feature is not on all models.

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.

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.

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.

•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.

•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.

•With a setting at the 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.

The numbers

1-4 refer only to the Cooking Chart heat settings on Page 7.

ExtraLow Burner Control

•There should be at least steam and a slight quivering of the liquid’s surface while simmering.

WARNING:

Do not clean or touch any of the burners

!when one or both XLO burners are in use. When the XLO burner automatically reig- nites, the igniters at all burners will spark.

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 What To Do If You Smell Gas inside the Front Cover.
