Turning on the burners

9 CAUTION
DO NOT touch the burners when the igniters are
sparking.
1. Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to
HI.
2. Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and
LO.
Operating the ExtraLow
The drawing shows that the
control knob has an additional
range after the XLO setting. When
the knob is set within this range,
the flame cycles off and on.
• XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling
the flame on for approximately 10 seconds and off for
50 seconds of each minute.
• When the knob is set just below the XLO setting, the
flame will cycle on for approximately 50 seconds and
off for 10 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
XLO range marked on the knob.
Operating the POWERBOOST
The POWERBOOST, or XHI, offers the convenience to
quickly boil water, sear steaks, stir-fry vegetables, etc. Use
of the LO and XLO remains the same as the other XLO
knobs.

tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate.
