Electronic Single Point Ignition If a burner fails to ignite, refer to "Before Calling For Service" on page 41. Ignitor 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® burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off. Figure 12: Igniter 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. Figure 13: Star® Burner Components 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. 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. CAUTION Do not touch the Star® burners when the igniters are sparking.
