6.4 ExtraLow® feature
The XLO feature cycles the burner flame on and off in var-
ious increments to maintain a very low temperature. The
60-second revolution (as low as 10 seconds on and
50 seconds off) allows you to keep your food warm with
less stirring than a conventional burner on a simmer.
To vary the amount of XLO heat to suit the food and quan-
tity, you can set the control knob anywhere within the XLO
range marked on the knob.
When on simmer, the XLO STAR® burners will have a
slightly higher flame than the simmer on the standard
STAR® burners. This operation is normal.
