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
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.
