Operation of the ExtraLow Burners

•XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the flame ON for approximately 8 seconds and OFF for 52 sec- onds of each minute.

•When the knob is set just be- low the LO setting, the flame will cycle ON for approximately 52 seconds and OFF for 8 seconds of each minute.

•To vary the amount of low heat to suit the food and quan- tity, the control can be set any- where within the LO and XLO range marked on the knob.

ExtraLow Settings

•The number and dash desig- nations, shown in the draw- ing, are for reference only.

Numbers do not actually ap- pear on the knob. The num- ber indicates the position of the flame setting as repre- sented on the cooking recom- mendations, Pages 14 and 15, with #4 being hotter than #1.

•To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a rolling boil. Stir well, then cover the pan and lower the heat to a setting just below LO.

•Check periodically to see if the control knob should be turned to another setting.

•If an over-size pan is used, the simmer action may occur mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the tempera- ture throughout the food, stir the food around the outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.

•It is normal to stir food occa- sionally while simmering. This is especially important when simmering for several hours, such as for a homemade spa- ghetti sauce or beans.

•When lowering the flame set- ting, adjust it in small steps.

•If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.

•It is normal not to see simmer bubbles immediately after the food has been stirred.

•There may be bubbling when the flame cycles ON and no bubbles when the flame is OFF. Even when the flame is OFF, there will be steam and a slight quiver on the liquid’s surface.

Components

Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when the burner is turned on.

CAUTION

Do not touch the burners when the igniters are sparking.

Each burner should light in 4 seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that the cap is positioned correctly on the base. If a burner fails to ignite, refer to the section on Page 27 “Before Calling for Service.”

ExtraLow Techniques

•The type and quantity of food affects which setting to use.

•The pan selected affects the setting. Its size, type, mate- rial, and whether a lid is used, all affect the consistency of the cooking temperature.
