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.
STANDARD BURNER CONTROL KNOB SETTINGS
All the controls are push in to turn and have an infinite number of heat settings, with no fixed positions. Select the appropriate control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the HI position (detent) until the burner lights. Adjust the flame size. Turn off by turning the control clockwise to OFF.
