Section Four: Using the Cooktop

USING THE COOKTOP

Sealed Burners

Sealed Star™ Burner Base
The cooktop features four or six
gas surface burners; each rated
at 15,000 BTU/HR. The burners
are sealed to the stainless steel
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.
CONTROL KNOBS
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.

sealed burner clicks and
sparks.
• After flame ignition, the

• The Blue Burner Signal Light,
between the burners, will light
when adjacent burners are lit.
They will remain on until the
burner is turned off.

Control Knob
The drawing shows that the
control knob has an additional
range 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
simmering and poaching,
melting chocolate and butter,
holding cooked foods at
temperatures without scorching
or burning, etc.
