flame until it covers approximately 1/3 of the uten-
sil diameter. Doing so will ensure even heating and
reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.
caution
Do not put the burner cover over the side burners while
hot. excessive heat may cause permanent discoloration.
Burner Lighting Notes
Dacor’s automatic re-ignition system will automati- •
cally ignite an extinguished flame.
If the igniter does not work for one of the standard •
burners, it may be lit using the manual lighting
instructions. See page 12.
A normal flame for the standard “U” burners and the •
side burners is steady and blue in color. foreign mate -
rial in the gas line, especially in new construction,
may cause an orange flame during initial operation. It
will disappear with further use. Small orange tips on
the ends of the flames are normal when using LP gas.
After a few minutes of use, the optional Ir sear •
burner will glow red, which is normal.
On side burners, 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.
When a side burner is cool, the igniter may continue •
to spark when the knob is set to the low position.
the burner will stop sparking when warm. to reduce
sparking when cold, operate the burner at a higher
setting for about 60 seconds, then 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 auto -
matically if the flame is distorted by the wind.
