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.

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.

Flame Description
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.
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.
WARNING:
In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the OFF position. Only the standard burners can be lit manually.

Figure 10: Flame Colors
•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.
