Burners : The cooktop’s flame-less ignition system
generates a spark that lights the burner when you
turn the knob to HIGH . Gaskets around the under-
side of the burner bases prevent spilled liquids from
leaking into the cooktop’s internal parts.
Long Life Grates : The porcelain coated cast iron
grates support the cooking utensils during cooking.
They are removable to allow the area below and
around the burners to be cleaned easily. The size
and location of each grate depends on the model of
the cooktop.
Spill Trays : The spill trays catch any food that falls
through the cooktop grates.
Illumina™ Burner Control Knobs : Use the knobs
to turn on the burners and adjust the flame size.
The matching knob illuminates when a burner is on.
Trim Rings : Located behind each knob. They pre-
vent liquids from getting into the cooktop’s internal
parts.
Special Cooktop Features
Perma-Flame™: The Perma-Flame instant
re-ignition feature automatically re-lights a burner
quickly if it goes out. With Perma-Flame, your cook-
ing experience is uninterrupted because the flame is
re-ignited at the same level as when it went out.
Smart Flame™ Technology: All burners are
equipped with Dacor’s Smart Flame technology. It
reduces the temperature under the fingers of the
porcelain-coated cast iron grates. Smart-Flame
extends grate life and protects the finish.
