ExtraLow Burner Cooking (SGSX and SGSXP Models only)
The Center and Left Front burners are enhanced with the ExtraLow (XLO) feature. When the control knob is set within one of the five
XLO settings, the flame cycles ON and OFF automatically. This cycling is normal and allows you to reduce the heat even further than
the Low setting. XLO allows you to simmer, poach, melt or hold cooked food without scorching or burning.
