Electronic Single Point Ignition
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.
CAUTION
Do not touch the Star
®
burners when the
igniters are sparking.
If a burner fails to ignite, refer to “Before Calling For
Service” on page 41.
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.
IMPORTANT:
• For proper combustion, do not use the cooktop without
the burner grates in place.
• There is a slight sound associated with gas combustion
and ignition. This is normal.
On cooktops using propane (LP) gas, a slight “pop” sound
may be heard from the Star
®
burner ports a few seconds
after the burner has been turned off.
Burner Cap Placement
The burner caps must be properly placed on the Star
®
burner bases for the cooktop to function properly. If the
burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the
following problems may occur.
•
Burner flames are too high.
• Flames shoot out of burners.
• Burners do not ignite.
• Burner flames light unevenly.
• Burner emits gas odor.
WARNING:
To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop
without all burner caps and all burner grates
properly positioned.
WARNING:
To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or
grates while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow
the burners to cool.
