room. Wait at least 1 minute before igniting the burner
again.

Turning off a burner
▶
Turn the control knob clockwise to OFF.
6.2 Automatic re-ignition
Each burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks
when the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in
four seconds or less.
¡ If a burner does not light, check to see that the cap is
positioned correctly on the base.
¡ If one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not
touch the burners when the igniters are active.
¡ For flame height verification and adjustment instruc-
tions, refer to the Installation Guide included with the
appliance.
6.3 In case of a power failure
WARNING
In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the OFF
position. Only the burners that are not equipped with the
ExtraLow® feature can be lit manually.

FAILURE listed in the IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS. → Page 5
6.4 ExtraLow® feature
The XLO feature cycles the burner flame on and off in var-
ious increments to maintain a very low temperature. The
60-second revolution (as low as 10 seconds on and
50 seconds off) allows you to keep your food warm with
less stirring than a conventional burner on a simmer.
To vary the amount of XLO heat to suit the food and quan-
tity, you can set the control knob anywhere within the XLO
range marked on the knob.
When on simmer, the XLO STAR® burners will have a
slightly higher flame than the simmer on the standard
STAR® burners. This operation is normal.
Knob position ExtraLow® level
Lowest ExtraLow® setting
The flame cycles on for approximately
10 seconds and off for 50 seconds of
each minute.
Highest ExtraLow® setting
The flame cycles on for approximately
50 seconds and off for 10 seconds of
each minute.
6.5 PowerBoost® feature
With this feature you can quickly boil water, sear steaks or
stir-fry vegetables.
To use PowerBoost® turn the control knob to XHI.
To turn off PowerBoost® turn the control knob to a differ-
ent power level.
