Automatic Re-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.
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.

Flame Description
Yellow Flames:
Further Adjustment is required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas

Normal for Natural Gas
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the
regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,
retest.
Some orange-colored streaking is normal during the
initial start-up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-
evaluate before making adjustments.
