Cooking Tips

For superior cooking performance and to save 

energy: 
•  Reduce the flame height to the minimum level 

necessary to perform the desired cooking pro-

cess. 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.

Using the Griddle

1.  Before using the rangetop griddle for the first 

time, wash it in hot, soapy water. Rinse it and 

allow it to dry thoroughly.

2.  With all of the burners off and the rangetop cool 

to the touch, put the griddle over the top of the 

middle grate on the rangetop. The middle grate 

has burners of the same size in the front and 

back for even heating. Fit the tabs that stick out 

of the bottom of the feet into the inside corners 

of the grate. When it is correctly installed, the 

griddle will rest securely about 1/2” above the 

top surface of the grate.

3.  Turn the knob for the center front burner to the 

light (HIGH) position. Once lit, turn the knob to 

the MAX GRIDDLE position, or lower if desired. 

DO NOT keep the burner knobs higher than the 

MAX GRIDDLE setting after they are lit!

•  Use low or medium flame heights when cook-

ing 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.

4.  Repeat step 3 for the center rear burner.

IMPORTANT:

•  During cooking be careful with metal utensils on 

the surface because they can scratch the non-

stick coating.

•  Clean the griddle after each use. See page 11 

for instructions.
