Section Four: USING THE COOKTOP
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
seconds
of each minute.
When the knob is set just below
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 quantity, the
control
can be set anywhere
within the LO and XLO range
marked
on the knob.
ExtraLow
Settings
The
number
and
dash
designations,
shown
in the
drawing,
are for reference
only.
Numbers
do
not
actually
appear
on the
knob.
The
number
indicates
the position
of
the
flame
setting
as
represented
on the
cooking
chart, pages 17 and 18, with the
flame
on
longer
at the
#4
setting
than on #1 setting.
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 temperature
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
occasionally
while
simmering.
This
is especially
important
when
simmering
for several
hours, such as fora homemade
spaghetti
sauce or beans.
When
lowering
the
flame
setting, 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 OFR
Even when
the flame
is OFF,
there will be steam and a slight
quiver on the liquid's surface.

Burner
Components
Each burner has its own electronic
igniter
that
sparks
when
the
burner is turned
on. 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.
Do not
touch
the
burners
when
the
igniters
are sparking.
If a burner
fails to ignite,
refer to the section
on Page 43,
"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, material,
and whether
a lid is used, all
affect
the consistency
of the
cooking
temperature.
