There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots. • The simmer line on the control panel is the beginning of the variable simmer setting and produces a high simmer setting. Turn the knob slowly towards “OFF” and the flame will adjust to a lower simmer setting. • Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in cookware that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast iron.
