Using The Cooktop Sealed Star® Burners Your new range has sealed Star® burners. There are no burner parts under the cooktop to clean, disassemble or adjust. The cooktop features four or six gas surface burners; each rated at 18,000 BTU/HR (15,000 BTU/ HR using Propane). The burners are mounted on top of unique-shaped pedestals. This makes the burner assemblies accessible for easy cleaning. On all models, the two left burners have the exclusive ExtraLow feature, the remaining burners are standard. Each burner has its own control knob. LEFT REAR Burner: LEFT FRONT Burner: CENTER REAR Burner: CENTER FRONT Burner: RIGHT REAR Burner: RIGHT FRONT Burner: GRIDDLE: Figure 6: Star® Brass Burner Base Control Knobs The control knobs for two gas burners, one in front and one in the rear, are located directly in front of and below the pair of burners on the control panel. The symbol above each control knob identifies either the burner position on the cooktop or the griddle control, depending upon your model.
