The specifications for the STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP (model 81-806H-LP) are as follows:

For your STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP, install on a non-combustible countertop with 4″ legs or a combustible floor using a maximum 27″ high stand. Ensure proper clearances are maintained:

Clearance from combustible construction: Must be 9″ minimum from the back wall and 7″ from side walls.

Clearance from non-combustible surfaces: May be 0″ on the back and sides.

For servicing: 6″ is recommended from the back of the unit on non-combustible walls.

The installation must conform to the NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE “ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION” and all local gas company rules and regulations.

Yes. The STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP creates fumes, moisture, and heat, and should be installed under an efficient exhaust hood with flame-proof filters. A vertical distance of not less than 48″ shall be provided between the top of the appliance and filters or any other combustible material. The exhaust installation must conform to local codes.

On your STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP, air for combustion enters from the front and bottom of the unit. It is important that you do not obstruct this area to ensure proper operation.

Your STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP is supplied with 4 feet or floor stand legs that must be screwed into the body. To level the unit, adjust the four feet, which have an adjustment of 1-3/4″, for an accurate and perfect line-up with other units. Do not install the unit without attaching the feet or supplied stand legs and shelf, and do not remove the feet.

The STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP is shipped from the factory for use with propane gas. To convert it for use with natural gas, follow these steps:

1. Remove grates and burners.

2. Remove the burner orifice hoods and install the orifice hoods supplied for natural gas.

3. Replace the burners and grates. Be sure the venturi opening is positioned correctly on the valve orifice.

4. Set the manifold pressure to (5) inch water column. A 1/8″ pipe plug on the burner manifold can be removed to attach a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted or hex-threaded plug from the pressure regulator, invert the plug, and re-install it. The letters “NAT” should now be visible on the plug. The regulator is now set for a 5″ water column. The pilot flame may also need to be adjusted for natural gas.

Check the entire piping system of your STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP for leaks using a soap and water solution or another material acceptable for this purpose.

CAUTION: Matches, candle flame, or other sources of ignition shall not be used for locating gas leaks.

The STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP is equipped with factory pre-set standing pilots and should be lit immediately after the gas is turned on. If the pilot lights need to be relit, follow these instructions:

1. Turn off the main valve to the unit.

2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves and wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear.

3. The pilot lights can be adjusted by turning the adjustable screw counterclockwise to open (increase flame) and clockwise to close (decrease flame).

4. Turn on the main valve and light all pilots.

5. Adjust the pilot light flames to be as small as possible around the pilot head, usually about 1/4″ high, but high enough to light the burner immediately when the burner valve is turned to high.

6. Turn the burner knobs to the desired setting.

7. To turn the burners off, turn the knobs clockwise to the “OFF” position.

1. To ignite the burners on your STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP, turn the burner valve knob counter-clockwise to the “ON” position.

2. Slowly decrease the openings of the air shutters to achieve a soft blue flame with luminous tips. Then, slowly increase the openings to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.

Yes, it is normal for the STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP to smoke when it is first lit. It may smoke for approximately 20-30 minutes until the preservation oils and impurities from manufacturing are burned off.

Each burner on the STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP is controlled by an individual on-off valve. You can obtain a variety of temperatures by turning the burner valve knob to any position between ON and OFF.

High Heat: Turn the valve counter-clockwise to a position of ON or close to it.

Holding or Simmering: Turn the valves closer to the OFF position on the dial.

If even less heat is required, the valve may be turned OFF, and the product can be kept warm by the pilot flame. Select the heat pattern you prefer and set the valves accordingly. Always be sure burners are staying fully lit when set in low positions.

To completely shut down your STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP, turn the burner valve knobs to the OFF position to turn the burners off, and then close the manual gas shutoff valve.

Clean your STAR ULTRA-MAX 8I-806H-LP regularly, ensuring the appliance has cooled down first.

1. Remove the grate section and burner head and take them to a sink for washing. Brush out any carboned particles.

2. Ensure the venturi is free from grease, dirt, lint, or any other foreign material.

3. Remove and wash the bottom crumb pan, which is easily removed from the front of the unit.

4. Be sure to replace the top grates so they are laying flat and centered over the burner.

5. Wipe exterior surfaces with a mild detergent and a cloth. A non-abrasive cleaner can be used on caked-on areas. Be careful when spraying on some cleaners, as they may contain abrasives and caustics that could scratch or damage the finish.
