2.  Once the burner is lit, set the flame height to the 

desired level by rotating the control knob further 

counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the 

grate.

IMPORTANT:

• 

The flame should burn evenly around the perim-

eter 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. 

The orange color will disappear with further use. 

Small yellow tips on the ends of the flames are 

normal when using LP gas. 

• 

If the flame is not even around the edge of the 

burner, wait for the cooktop to cool and check to 

make sure the burner is assembled properly (see 

page 5).

• 

When the cooktop is cool the igniter may con-

tinue to spark if the control knob is set to the 

LOW position. The burner will stop sparking 

when warm. The tendency to spark when cold 

can be reduced by operating the burner at a 

higher flame setting for about 60 seconds. After 

60 seconds, 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 automati-

cally if the flame is distorted by a draft or by 

the household ventilation system. Eliminate any 

drafts or reduce the ventilation blower speed to 

reduce this type of problem.

• 

To keep the burners operating properly, keep the 

burner igniters, burner rings and burner caps 

clean and dry. See 

Care and Cleaning

 starting 

on page 8. Dirty or wet igniters will result in 

constant sparking, even if there is a flame pres-

ent.

Operating Your Cooktop

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.

• 

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.
