SEALED BURNERS
USING THE COOKTOP
SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP
The cooktop features four or six
gas surface burners; each rated at
15,000 BTU/HR. The burners are
sealed to the porcelainized 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.
OPERATION OF THE
BURNERS
• Press in on the knob and turn it
counter-clockwise to the HI
setting.
• The igniters for all the sealed
burners click and spark. Only
the burner selected will light.
• After flame ignition, the igniters
stop clicking.
• Rotate the knob to any flame
setting between HI and LO.
• The Burner Signal Light, located
at the far left on the panel, will
light when any knob is turned
beyond the OFF position. It
remains on until all burners are
turned off.
BTU Output for Standard Burners
• HI is equivalent to 15,000 BTU / HR.
• LO is equivalent to 2,200 BTU / HR.
BTU Output for ExtraLow ® Burners
• HI is equivalent to 15,000 BTU / HR.
• LO is equivalent to 3000 BTU / HR.
• XLO is equivalent to 370 BTU / HR.
ExtraLow ® Burners
The controls for the two left
burners, front and rear, have flame
settings even lower than the
standard LO settings.
The drawing shows that the
control knob has additional
markings between the LO and
XLO settings. When the knob is
set within this range, the flame
pulses 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.
