[. . . ] Check to see that the cap is positioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is clean and dry. The standard burners can then be ignited manually by holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob to the HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all the way around the burner before adjusting the flame to the desired height. CAUTION: The reignition feature will not work in the event of a power failure. See Page 6 for ExtraLow burners. PAGE 5 COOKTOP OPERATION ­ ExtraLow® BURNERS (MODELS SGSX304/SGSX365/SGSX456) This feature is not on all models. Thermador® ExtraLow Burners Two burners are enhanced with the ExtraLow (XLO®) feature. When the control knob is set within the XLO zone, the flame cycles OFF and ON automatically for varying seconds every minute. This cycling is normal and allows you to simmer, poach, melt or hold cooked food without scorching or burning. For Best Results · Bring food to a boil; stir well to be sure all the food is boiling, then cover and reduce the setting to the XLO zone. Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob should be turned to a lower or higher setting. If the control knob is set too low to maintain simmer, bring the food back to a boil before setting a higher simmer setting. There should be at least steam and a slight quivering of the liquid's surface while simmering. · · How They Work · The burner flame will cycle ON and OFF each minute when the setting is at any position between LO (past detent) and XLO. The length of time the flame is ON and OFF depends on the knob setting. With a setting just below LO, the flame will be ON approximately 53 seconds and OFF 7 seconds of each minute. With a setting at the lowest XLO position, the flame is ON approximately 7 seconds and OFF 53 seconds of each minute. The knob can be set to any position between LO and XLO. OFF Indicator · · · · · · · · · · Control knob bezel with graphics IMPORTANT: The two XLO burners cannot be used during a power failure. The burners will not turn back on until both control knobs are turned OFF and then turned back ON again after power has been restored. See What To Do If You Smell Gas on Page 1.

Low EXTRA LOW BURNER CONTROL PAGE 6 PROPER COOKWARE Cookware Characteristics · · · · Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly. Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low-to-medium settings. DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly. Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size ­ The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan. ­ Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side. Use Balanced Pans ­ Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. ­ Center pan over burner. Use a Lid That Fits Properly ­ A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Pans that span 2 burners, i. e. griddles, roasters and fish poachers, may be used when placed front to back.
