The ACCUSIMMER

NORMAL BURNER. When the control is set on NORMAL
BURNER, the left front surface cooking area or element will
function as a single or dual element (on some models).

between LO and 5.
Select LO for a low simmer or when using lids and 5 for a high
simmer or when not using lids.
On some models, select either the Single or Dual Zone
settings. See “Dual Cooking Zone” section.
