Each STAR
®
burner has its own electronic igniter that
sparks when the burner is turned on. Each burner
should light in 4 seconds or less. If a burner does not
light, check to see that the burner cap is positioned
correctly on the base (see Figure 6 and Figure 7).
If a burner fails to ignite, refer to “Before Calling For Service”
on page 21.
Automatic Re-Ignition
If any one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically activates to re-light the flame. DO NOT touch
the STAR burners when the igniters are active.
Power Failure
• In the event of a power failure, only the Standard
burners can be manually lit. It is necessary to light each
one individually.
• If the rangetop is being used when the power failure
occurs, turn all knobs to the OFF position.
• The standard STAR burners can be lit by holding a
match at the ports and turning the control knob to the
HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all around
the burner cap before adjusting the flame to the
desired level.
• DO NOT attempt to light the two left XLO
®
burners
manually during a power failure. These burners are
equipped with the ExtraLow
®
feature and cannot be lit
manually.
• If an ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure
occurs, it cannot be turned back on until the knob is
first turned to the OFF position.
• The griddle or grill accessory cannot be used during a
power failure.
• If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed on
page 1.
Flame Height
• The correct flame height depends on 1) size and
material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and
3) amount of liquid in the pan.
• Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
• Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that
conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel
or glass-ceramic.
Flame Description
• The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow
on the tips. It is common to see orange in the flame
color; this indicates the burning of airborne impurities
and will disappear with use.
• With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the
primary
cone are normal.
• The flame should burn completely around the burner
cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned
correctly on the base and that the ports are not
blocked.
• The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or
fluttering.
CAUTION:
DO NOT touch the STAR burners when the igniters are
sparking. Ensure that the knobs are set to OFF and the
burners and caps have cooled before touching.
WARNING:
In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the OFF
position. Only the standard burners can be lit manually.
