Important Safety Instructions
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately
contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a
damaged appliance.
• Installations with less than 2 1/2” (6.4 cm) from the
rear of the rangetop to a combustible vertical surface
must use Dacor backguard model AEB3609 (for 36
inch models) or AEB4809 (for 48 inch models) or a
non-combustible material.
• This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified installer according to the
accompanying installation instructions. Have the
installer show you the location of the gas shut off
valve and the power cord so that you know where and
how to turn off the gas supply and disconnect power
to the rangetop.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of the
rangetop unless specifically recommended in the
literature accompanying it. A qualified service
technician should perform all other service.
• Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter
any part of the rangetop unless specifically instructed
to do so in these instructions.
• Before cleaning or performing any type of service,
make sure that the gas supply is turned off and the
power cord to the rangetop is disconnected.
• Only use this rangetop for cooking tasks expected of
a home appliance as outlined in this manual. It is not
intended for commercial or laboratory use.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE
Rangetop DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER
USE. After use, make sure these surfaces have had
sufficient time to cool before touching them.
• Make sure individuals who use the rangetop are able
to operate it properly.
• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand
or climb on any part of the rangetop. Doing so may
cause damage, serious injury or death. Do not leave
children alone or unattended in the area around
the rangetop. Do not allow children to play with the
controls or touch other parts of the rangetop.
• Do not store items of interest to children on top of
or above the appliance. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on the appliance.
• Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a
power failure. If a power failure occurs while operating
the rangetop, turn all control knobs to the
OFF
position.
• Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby
food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
• Do not cover the burners and grates with anything
except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers
may cause a fire hazard or damage if a burner is
accidentally turned on with the cover in place.
• Clean the rangetop thoroughly before operating it for
the first time.
• Clean and maintain the rangetop regularly as
instructed in this manual. Keep the entire rangetop,
ventilation filters and ventilation hoods free of grease
that could catch fire.
• Keep combustible materials, such as paper,
cardboard, plastic and cloth away from the burners
and other hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to
touch hot surfaces or gas burners.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the
rangetop. Do not allow clothing to come into contact
with the rangetop and surrounding areas during and
immediately after use.
• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
• Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over
the rangetop.
• If the rangetop is near a window, do not use long
curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow
over the rangetop and create a fire hazard.
• To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the
rangetop unattended when in use.
• Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check
the manufacture’s recommendations before use
to determine if a utensil is suitable for use on a
rangetop. Certain types of glass, ceramic and
earthenware are not suitable for use on a rangetop.
Personal injury or damage may result from improper
cookware use.
• Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper
size, material and construction for the particular type
of cooking being done. Utensils need to be large
enough to contain the desired quantity of food without
boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with easy to
hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not
use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that
are too heavy to lift safely.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a
hot rangetop. The steam can cause serious burns or
scalds.
