Rangetop safety

WARNING

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

Important safety instructions

• Ensure all burners are off when not in use.

• Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the rangetop.

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

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

• Always use the LITE position to ignite the burners, then ensure the burners ignite. If

ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF, wait until the gas dissipates, then try again.

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

• Place only cookware on the rangetop.

• Flame food only under an active ventilation hood.

• Turn off burners before removing cookware from the burners.

• Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.

• Before disassembling a burner for cleaning, ensure all burners are off and the

rangetop is completely cool.

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

• When assembling a burner, ensure the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is be

the electrode.

• Do not pour water into the rangetop drip basin.

• Use cookware that is designed for rangetop cooking and is large enough to cover the

burner grates. Adjust burner flames so they remain under the cookware.

• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do

not use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.

• Turn cookware handles away from surface burners and the rangetop front edge.

• Stand back from the range while frying.

• Heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If frying at high heat, closely watch

the cooking process. If combining fats or oils when frying, mix them before heating.

English18

• Use a deep-fryer thermometer if possible to monitor the oil temperature.

• Use minimal oil when frying.

• Do not fry frozen food or partially thawed food that it clumped with ice.

• Before moving fat-/oil-filled cookware, make sure it has completely cooled.

• To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, let hot liquids stand at least 20 seconds after

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

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

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

3. Cover with a clean, dry cloth.

• Center pots on the grates. Do not put a pot larger than 9” in diameter on a rear

burner. Oversized pots may impede airflow, making the flame sputter and burn
inefficiently.

• Do not wear loose or hanging clothing when using the rangetop.

• Never leave plastic on the rangetop. Vented hot air can melt or ignite plastic or

cause a buildup of dangerous pressure in closed plastic containers.

• Put only cookware on the rangetop.

• Thaw and pad food dry before frying. Moisture can cause oil to erupt and overflow.

• Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before you remove

them to prevent any possibility of being burned.

• Keep combustible material away from the rangetop.

• Do not touch an active burner. Turn off the burners before moving the cookware.

• Stir sauces and other liquid food while warming.

Special cooktop features

Perma-Flame™

This re-ignition feature automatically relights a burner instantly at the same level as
when it went out. Cooking proceeds uninterrupted.

Smart Flame™

This technology reduces the temperature under the fingers of the porcelain-coated,
cast-iron grates, extending grate life and protecting the finish.

SimmerSear™

Dacor’s exclusive, precision burner-control system lets you cook at a wide range of heat
settings, from simmer to sear.

To light a burner, follow below steps.

1. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to Lite (flame icon). The burner's igniter

will spark (click-click-click...) repeatedly until it lights (typically within 4 seconds). The
flame should burn evenly around the burner perimeter, except below a grate support
finger, where the flame height is reduced by Dacor’s Smart Flame feature. A normal
flame is steady and blue. Foreign material in the gas line, especially new construction,
may cause an orange flame initially that disappears with use. Small yellow tips on the
flames are normal when using LP gas. If a burner does not ignite, the igniter continues
to spark, or if the flame is not spread evenly around the burner cap, see
Troubleshooting, pg. 47.

Using the rangetop

2. Set the cookware on the grate.

3. Adjust the flame to the level necessary to cook the food as desired.

NOTE

When a burner knob is set to LO, the igniter may keep sparking if the burner is cold,
then quit when it is warm. To reduce cold-burner sparking, set the knob to HIGH for 60
seconds, then set the flame to cook. The igniter sparks automatically if the flame is
distorted by a draft or household ventilation. Eliminate drafts or lower the ventilation
blower speed to minimize this issue.

English 25

Using the rangetop

Tips

• Food cooks as quickly at a gentle boil as at a vigorous boil. Using an unnecessarily

high boil wastes energy and cooks moisture, flavor, and nutrients out of food.

• Use a low or medium flame if using cookware th

ceramic, cast iron). Reduce the flame to cover 1/3 of the cookware diameter. This
ensures even heating and lowers the chance of burning/scorching the food.

Manual ignition

If case of a power failure, you can, with caution, ignite the burner manually.

1. Hold a long gas-grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for purchasing Dacor. We hope our products empower your passion for
cooking!

Inside this box is a set of brass burner caps. These caps are meant to provide an elegant
look to your new Dacor product. These caps may be used for cooking, but please know
beforehand that they will discolor when used. This is a natural reaction of brass when it
comes in contact with the gas flame. We have also included a set of black porcelain burner
caps with this product in case you are concerned about the discoloration. Discoloration of
burner caps is not covered under our warranty, but new burner caps may be ordered from
us if necessary.

We truly hope you enjoy many years of great cooking with your Dacor. If we can be of
service, please contact our team at 800-793-0093, extension 2813.
