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.

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.

bUrner
Each burner control knob has a small diagram
next to it to tell you which burner it operates.
To light a burner:
Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to
the
hIGh position. The igniter for the burner will spark
repeatedly until it lights. The spark makes a “clicking”
sound. The burner should light within four seconds.
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. This will disappear with further use. Small
yellow tips on the ends of the flames are normal when
using LP gas.

WARNING
In the interest of safety, always light the burner first
before putting the cooking utensil on the grate. Turn
the burner knob to the off position before removing
the utensil.
Do not turn the knob past 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 burner cap, burner base or igniter
while the igniter is sparking. An electrical shock could
result.
If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or if the
flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob to the
OFF position. Open a window and allow at least five
minutes for the gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting
procedure.
Always check the position of the control knobs to
make sure the cooktop is off when you are finished
cooking.
Do not operate the cooktop without all the burner
components in place. If the burner ring and cap are
not properly seated, the burner may not operate
correctly. See page 6 for assembly instructions.
Never light the burners with a match or other open
flame.

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.
To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level
if it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. A flame
that extends up the sides of the utensil is potentially
dangerous.
Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent
damage to the coated surfaces on the grates.
