Operating Your Cooktop

Selecting the Cookware Lighting a Burner

WARNING

To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles to a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also, handles should not extend over adjacent burners.

Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center them so that they are well-balanced.

Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do not drop them on the grate.

Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage to the coated surfaces on the grates.

To avoid burns or a fire hazard, reduce the flame level if it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. Flames extending up the sides are potentially dangerous.

For overall safety and best cooktop performance, select the correct cooking utensil for the food being cooked. Improperly selected cooking utensils will not cook evenly or efficiently.

Use cookware that:

• Has flat, smooth bottoms.

Is well balanced.

Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in.

WARNING

To avoid the chance of fire, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your cooktop without the burners completely and properly assembled (see page 5). The burner rings spread the flame evenly around the burner cap. The burner rings must be properly seated for proper burner lighting and operation.

In the interest of safety, always light the burner before putting the cooking utensil on the grate. Turn the burner knob to the OFF position before removing the utensil. Always check the position of the control knobs to make sure the cooktop is off when you are finished cooking.

Do not turn the knob farther than the HIGH position until lit. Doing so may result in a burst of flame that could cause burns or damage to the surrounding area.

Do not touch any part of the burner while the igniter is sparking. An electrical shock could result.

Never light the burners with a match or other open flame.

Always check to make sure all control knobs are in the

OFF position when you are finished cooking.

If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or if the flame goes out and gas escapes when attempting to light a burner, turn the knob to the OFF position. Open a window and allow at least five minutes for the gas to dissipate. Then, repeat the lighting procedure.

Each burner control knob has a small diagram next to it with an indicator light that tells you which burner it operates.

1. To light a burner, push in gently on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the HIGH position.

The igniter will spark (click) repeatedly until the gas ignites. The burner should light within four seconds.

IMPORTANT: Avoid spills as much as possible.

The porcelain surfaces of the grates, spill trays and burner caps are acid-resistant but not acid-proof.

Some foods can cause permanent damage if allowed to remain on porcelain surfaces.

OFF HIGH LOW

Operating Your Cooktop

2. Once the burner is lit, set the flame height to the desired level by rotating the control knob further counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the grate.

IMPORTANT:

• The flame should burn evenly around the perimeter of the burner, except underneath each grate support finger, where the flame height is reduced by Dacor’s Smart-Flame feature. A normal flame is steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line, especially in new construction, may cause an orange flame during initial operation.

The orange color will disappear with further use.

Small yellow tips on the ends of the flames are normal when using LP gas.

If the flame is not even around the edge of the burner, wait for the cooktop to cool and check to make sure the burner is assembled properly (see page 5).

When the cooktop is cool the igniter may continue to spark if the control knob is set to the

LOW position. The burner will stop sparking when warm. The tendency to spark when cold can be reduced by operating the burner at a higher flame setting for about 60 seconds. After

60 seconds, lower the flame to cook. The burner will also warm up faster if a utensil is placed on the grate. The igniter will also spark automatically if the flame is distorted by a draft or by the household ventilation system. Eliminate any drafts or reduce the ventilation blower speed to reduce this type of problem.

To keep the burners operating properly, keep the burner igniters, burner rings and burner caps clean and dry. See Care and Cleaning starting on page 8. Dirty or wet igniters will result in constant sparking, even if there is a flame present.

Cooking Tips

For superior cooking performance and to save energy:

Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the desired cooking process. Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a vigorous, rolling boil. A higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture and causes a loss in food flavor and nutrients.

Dacor’s SimmerSear feature allows you precision control of the flame. The larger the burner size, the wider the range of control. See page 4 for the heat ranges of the different burners.

Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils made of materials that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic and cast iron. Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter to ensure even heating and reduce scorching.

Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.

Use a timer rather than repeatedly removing the lid to check food. Doing so will decrease cooking time and save energy.

Thaw foods prior to cooking to reduce cooking time.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING

Clean only the parts of the cooktop listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.

To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your cooktop’s surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in this manual.

To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners and make sure that all parts are cool before cleaning. DO NOT turn the burners on during cleaning.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. Steam could penetrate the electrical components and cause a short circuit. After cleaning the burners, reassemble all of the burner parts before attempting to operate the cooktop.

After cleaning the burners, always dry and reassemble the cooktop parts completely before use. See page 5.

CAUTION

Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your cooktop’s surfaces.

To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads, on any part of the cooktop unless instructed to do so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush or nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your cooktop.

Do not remove the trim rings from the cooktop. Clean only the outside edges of the trim rings. If you get moisture inside the trim rings damage to the cooktop may occur.

Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in the dishwasher.

Installing the cooktop knobs in the wrong position may result in damage to the optional cooktop griddle or grill. Two of the knobs that come with the griddle/grill kit are marked with the maximum griddle settings. See the griddle or grill instructions.

Cleaning the Cooktop

To keep the cooktop looking and operating its best, clean it after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur while cooking. Be careful not to touch any hot areas. Spills that remain on hot burner parts will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed to burn on. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vinegar, alcohol and milk can damage the finishes if you allow them to stand for any length of time.

IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely high temperatures. The grates are under high stress when hot utensils are placed on them. Also, the cooktop parts are occasionally exposed to acidic food spill-overs. These severe operating conditions, cause the porcelain enamel parts on your cooktop to undergo a change in appearance over time. If you care for and clean these parts carefully, you will slow down, but not eliminate, the aging process.

Cooktop Disassembly

1. For safety, disconnect the cooktop power cord from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning.

2. When the appliance is cool, remove the grates from the top of the cooktop.

3. Disassemble the burners. Lift the burner caps and burner rings off of the burners.

Care and Cleaning

Burner Components and Igniters

CAUTION

Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is fragile and can crack or break.

IMPORTANT: The igniters may not spark or work properly if the burner parts or the igniters themselves are not clean and dry.

After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt or grime deposited on the individual parts, including the igniters.

1. Use a firm toothbrush to clean completely around the igniter, including all of the metal top and porcelain base. Use care while cleaning because the porcelain is fragile and can crack or break. Do not use water to clean the igniters. If necessary, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol to help dissolve grime.

2. Examine the burner rings. Remove anything stuck in the holes with a straightened paper clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch or damage the ring and head. Do not distort the shape of the burner ring holes.

3.

4.

Clean all of the burner parts, including the burner bases, with window cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Use a cleaning brush with plastic bristles or a firm tooth brush. When done, rinse the parts well with clean water. Dry all the parts thoroughly before re-assembling them.

Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner and grate assembly instructions on page 5.

Test the burners after reassembling them. If the flame is uneven, be sure that all the burner parts are properly positioned, then check for any remaining dirt or grime on the burner parts or igniter. If erratic sparking (clicking) is still present, make sure the igniter is completely dry. If the unit still exhibits problems after drying, call your local Dacor Authorized Service Agent.

Grates, Spill Trays and WOK Ring

CAUTION

Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.

The grates, the spill tray and optional WOK ring are coated with a porcelain finish.

• For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or nonabrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the porcelain parts.

If necessary, tough stains may be removed by applying full-strength sprays such as Simple

Green™, Ajax™ All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula

409™. To minimize wear, use the mildest cleaner needed to get the surface clean.

For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as

Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™, S.O.S.

® pads or other soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these cleaners with extreme care and only on occasion. Extensive use of these types of abrasives will eventually damage the porcelain enamel.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

CAUTION

Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.

Use the included Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner on the stainless steel surfaces. Use it according to the directions on the package. See page 10 for reorder information.

• You may also clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution of detergent and warm water.

Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Brass, Chrome and Copper Surfaces

CAUTION

To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on metal surfaces.

Using a soft cloth, clean metal surfaces with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What safety precaution should be taken when heating food in an unopened container?
Never heat unopened food containers, as pressure build up can cause the container to burst and cause injury.
What should be used as pot holders?
Use dry pot holders when removing food and cookware from the cooktop. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns.
What should be done if there's a range top grease fire?
Turn the knobs to the OFF position, then smother flames with a close-fitting lid or metal tray. If the flames don't go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department. Never use water, as it may cause a violent steam explosion.
What should be done when deep fat frying?
Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature and never leave the fryer unattended.
What should be done if the cooktop is near a window?
Do not use long curtains as the window treatment, as they could blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
