Sealed Star _
Brass Burner Base
The cooktop features four or six
gas surface burners; each rated
at 15,000 BTU/HR(13,000 BTU/
HR using Propane). 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.
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.

ExtraLow _ Burner
Control Knob
The drawing shows that the
control knob has an additional
range between the SlM and XLO
settings. When the knob is set
within this range, the flame cycles
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 are
suitable for simmering and
poaching, melting chocolate and
butter, holding cooked foods at
temperatures without scorching or
burning, etc.
