Operating Your Cooktop
Selecting the Cookware
Lighting a Burner
WARNING
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.
• 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.
• Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may
damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do
not drop them on the grate.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
Use cookware that:
•
Has flat, smooth bottoms.
•
Is well balanced.
•
Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and
steam in.
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.

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.
Cooking Tips
IMPORTANT:
•
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.
•
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.
•
For superior cooking performance and to save
energy:
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.

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
Grates, Spill Trays and WOK Ring
Burner Components and Igniters
caution
caution
Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK
ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
The grates, the spill tray and optional WOK ring are
coated with a porcelain finish.
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 the included igniter cleaning brush to clean
completely around the igniter, including all of the
metal top and porcelain base. A firm toothbrush
is also ideal for this task. 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. 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.

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.
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
