ExtraLow® Burner Cooking (SGSX and SGSXP Models
Only)
The Center and Left Front burners are enhanced with the
ExtraLow® (XLO) feature. When the control knob is set
within one of the five XLO settings, the flame cycles ON
and OFF automatically. This cycling is normal and allows
simmering, poaching, melting or holding cooked food
without scorching or burning.
How They Work
There are five XLO settings that vary in heating level. The
XLO settings gradually decrease in heating level as the
knob is turned to the right of the LO position.
The burner flame will cycle ON and OFF during each
minute when the control knob is at any one of the five
XLO settings. The time the flame is ON depends on the
XLO setting. XLO 5 has the highest heating level of the
XLO settings so the flame is ON for the longest amount
of time. As the knob is turned counterclockwise, the
amount of time the flame is ON will decrease.
Each XLO setting can be set by turning the appropriate
control knob to the desired XLO setting (see ExtraLow®
Setting Locations below). A slight catch will be felt at the
LO position and each designated XLO setting.

ExtraLow® (XLO) Setting Locations
The table lists the optimal heating setting for various
dishes. The temperature and cooking time depend on
the amount, composition and temperature of the food.
Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the
lower values first. Heat can be increased during cooking.
▯ Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob
should be turned to a lower or higher setting.
▯ It is normal to stir food occasionally. This is especially
important when simmering for several hours, such as
homemade sauce or beans.
▯ Simmer bubbles may not be seen when the flame has
cycled OFF.
▯ While the flame is ON, there may be bubbling. There
should be at least steam and a slight quivering of the
liquid’s surface.
▯ Use a lower XLO setting if the pan is covered.
▯ When lowering the flame setting, adjust it one XLO
setting at a time.
▯ If a setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food
back to a boil before resetting to a higher heat.
▯ If an oversized pan is used, the simmer action may
occur more in the center. For even cooking, stir the
food around the outer edges into the food in the
center.
▯ The quantity and type of food affects which setting to
use.
A XLO 5 (highest heating level)
B XLO 4
C XLO 3
D XLO 2
E XLO 1 (lowest heating level)
