SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP

SEALED BURNERS
Sealed Star
Brass 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 Knob
The drawing shows that the
control knob has an additional
range between the SIM 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.
