Cooktop Features
•
Induction cooking is totally different from traditional types
of cooking. A magnetic induction element below the
cooking surface heats utensils (magnetic only) directly.
Induction cookin
g is much more efficient because less
energy is lost heating the cooktop itself. Also, food that
spills on the cooktop does not burn since the cooktop is
much cooler.
•
Dacor induction cooktops have 4 or 5 circular cooking
zones. Below each cooking zone is the magnetic
induction cooking element. Each cooking zone has
its own set of controls. The control keys are activated
by touching it with your fingertip. Pressing hard is not
necessary because the keys are not pressure sensitive.
NOTE:
Spills or cleaning solutions on the keys can
cause unwanted operation. Dry the area with a clean
cloth and reset the control to correct.
•
All of the induction
elements under the cooking zones
feature temperature limiters to ensure a safe operating
temperature for the cooktop. The elements automatically
cycle on and off. At higher power settings, the induction
element will stay on for longer periods of time.

•
Power Level Indicator Lights: A series of indicator lights
around the circle light up to indicate the current power
level (1 to 8).
•
Residual Heat Indicator Light: Indicates that the
corresponding cooking zone is still hot due to heat from
hot pots or pans. See page 6 for more details.
•
Power Boos
t Indicator Light: This light indicates that
power boost is on. See page 6 for more details.
The Dacor induction power management feature regulates
the amount of power the elements can draw at the same
time. The elements are divided into groups. If you set both
controls on the same group to the higher power settings,
power to both elements will be reduced slightly and cooking
times will be slightly longer. When cooking on two elements
at a higher setting, Dacor recommends using an element
from one group and an element from another group.
