Burners
The controls for the two left and two right burners, front and
rear, have flame settings even lower than the standard SIM
settings (see Figure 11 on page 12).
rear, have flame settings even lower than the standard SIM
settings (see Figure 11 on page 12).
Figure 12 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.

The POWERBOOST, or XHI, is located at the right-front
position of the rangetop. The XHI is 4,000 BTU greater on
