Operation of the ExtraLow® Burners

• 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 area marked on the knob.

Suggestions for Using the Surface Burner Cooking Recommendations

• Use the chart beginning on page 20 as a guide. The settings you use will vary depending on the pans selected and the starting temperature of the food.
• On the chart, the “Finish Setting” has been separated for the standard and ExtraLow® burners. There may or may not be a change between the two burner settings.
• The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a holding setting.
• Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.

Care and Cleaning the Griddle Plate  

• NEVER flood a hot griddle plate with cold water. This can damage the griddle plate.
• DO NOT clean the griddle plate in a self-cleaning oven.
• DO NOT heat cookware on the griddle surface.
• Care should be taken to avoid scratching or gouging the surface. DO NOT cut food directly on the griddle plate. DO NOT use metal utensils.
• Use plastic or wood utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.
• The griddle plate is dishwasher safe, however, hand washing the griddle plate is recommended.
