Cooktop safety

WARNING

To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death:

• Select cookware that is designed for cooktops and is large enough to cover the

grates. Burner flames should not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

• Turn off all burners that are not in use.

• Do not line the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil.

• Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.

• Before igniting, ensure all burner caps are properly seated and all burners are level.

• Use the LITE (flame icon) position to ignite a burner, then verify the burner did ignite.

If ignition fails, turn the burner OFF, and wait a few minutes for the gas to dissipate.

• When you set a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly. Ensure the flame stays on.

• Place only cookware on the cooktop.

• Foods should only be flamed under an active ventilation hood.

• Turn off a burner before removing the cookware.

• Remove cookware immediately after cooking.

• Ensure all cooktop burners are off and all surfaces have cooled before removing the

grates and disassembling the burners.

• After cleaning the burner spreader, dry it completely before re-assembling it.

• Do not pour water or other liquids into the cooktop during cleaning.

• Do not use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.

• Turn cookware handles away from active burners and the cooktop front edge.

• Stand at a safe distance from the cookware when frying.

• Heat frying oil slowly, and monitor the oil as it heats. For high-heat frying, do not

leave the oil unattended.

• If combining fats or oils for frying, mix them before heating.

• Use a deep-fry thermometer when possible to avoid heating the oil beyond its smoke

point. (Know the smoke point of the oil you use.)

• Use minimal oil when frying. Thaw food before frying, and do not fry food that is

overly cold or that is clumped with ice.

14 English

Important safety instructions

• Always let oil/fat cool to room temperature before moving the cookware.

• To avoid delayed-eruptive boiling, let hot oil/fat stand at least 20 seconds after

turning off the burner so the temperature can stabilize. In case of scalding:

1. Immerse the scalded area in cool water for at least 10 minutes.

2. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.

3. Cover the scalded area with a clean, dry cloth.

• During a power failure or if the ignition system malfunctions, do not use matches/

lighters to ignite the burners.

• Do not operate small appliances on the cooktop. Electromagnetic forces from these

appliances may cause the cooktop to malfunction.

CAUTION

If the cooktop is installed above an oven, do not use the cooktop while the oven’s self­cleaning function is on.

Using the cooktop burners

Ignition

CAUTION

The knob LED indicates if a burner knob has been turned on. It does not indicate if the
burner flame is on. Check for an actual flame, although the knob LED is on or off.

Make sure all cooktop burners are properly
installed. To light a burner:

1. Push in the control knob, and turn it to
the Lite (flame icon) position. The knob
LED turns on and a “click-click-click...”
sound indicates the electronic ignition
system is working properly.

2. A

fter the burner ignites, turn the knob

to the desired cooking level.

NOTE

When the inner/outer flame is on HI, the outer flame gets smaller as you turn the knob
from HI to LO. To control the inner flame, push and turn the knob again at the point that it
starts to control the inner flame.

English 19

Manual ignition

During a power failure, you can ignite burners manually. Use caution when doing this.

1. Hold a long, gas-grill lighter to a burner.

2. Push in, and turn the control knob to Lite, then click the lighter to ignite the burner.

3. Turn the knob to the desired cooking level.

Automatic re-ignition

If the flame goes out unexpectedly, it will automatically re-ignite.

WARNING

• Set the cook level so the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

•

When setting a burner to Simmer, turn the knob slowly, and see that the flame stays lit.

• A burner-knob’s LED only means the burner is on. After turning on a burner, always

verify that the flame ignites.

• Turn off the burner before removing the cookware.

• All burners should be off when not in use.

• Verify that all burners are off before going to bed or leaving the house.

• If the burner ignites, but the LED does not come on, call a qualified technician.

•

If the knob LED comes on, but the burner does not ignite, turn off the burner instantly.

• Do not leave a burner on indefinitely without cookware over it. Without cookware to

absorb the heat, the grate finish may flake off.

• Do not touch or set a pot holder, cloth, or other such item on the grate unless there is

no flame and the grate has cooled sufficiently.

CAUTION

To avoid tipping, do not set cookware
with a bottom diameter of 6 in. or less
on the center grate. Use the rear burners
for this small-size cookware.
(DTG36M955F model only.)

• Always turn cookware handles to the side or rear, and not over a burner or front edge
of the countertop. This minimizes the risk of burns, spills, and ignition of flammable
materials from accidental contact with the cookware.

• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.

• Never leave plastic items (which can melt or ignite) on the cooktop. Heating a sealed
plastic container causes pressure to build, which may lead the container to explode.

• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while cooking.

CAUTION

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for purchasing a Dacor Modernist cooktop. We hope it empowers your
passion for cooking!

We include a set of brass burner caps to enhance the elegance of your cooktop.
Because these caps discolor with use due to the influence of heat on the brass, we
also include a set of black porcelain burner caps that you can use instead of the brass
if you are concerned about the discoloration, which is not covered by our warranty.
You may order new burner caps from us as needed.

We truly hope you enjoy many years of great cooking with your Modernist cooktop. If
we can be of service, please contact us at 800-793-0093 x2813.

Sincerely,

The Dacor Customer Assurance Team
