General Considerations

The minimum distance from the back of the cooktop
to a combustible rear wall is 2 1/2" (64 mm) minimum
(Figure 1).

Installation of a non-combustible material* (up to the
hood) or a backsplash is always recommended, and
mandatory if the distance to the back wall from the
cooktop is less than 2 1/2" (Figure 2). When installing a
backguard, use only Dacor model numbers AEB3609,
AEB3612 (EG366), AEB4809 or AEB4812 (EG486).

* Consult local codes and ordinances for acceptable
non-combustible materials.

FIGURE 2

Carefully check the location where the cooktop is to be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be
installed away from drafts caused by doors, windows
and heating and air conditioning outlets. To reduce the
risk of personal injury from reaching over a hot appli-
ance, avoid cabinet installations directly above.

To reduce the risk of personal injury and to reduce
accumulated smoke in the room, Dacor strongly recom-
mends installing a range hood. A hood should project
horizontally a minimum of five (5)inches beyond the

face of the cabinets.

The installation must allow access to the underside
of the cooktop for service and inspection purposes,

including the ability to turn off the cooktop gas supply

valve and electrical outlet.

• All contact surfaces between the cooktop and the coun-
ter must be solid and level.

The countertop overhang on the sides of the cutout
shown on the following pages covers the recessed por-
tions of the cooktop behind the control panel and cre-

ates a seamless look for the installation.

IMPORTANT: When installing the cooktop into a lami-
nated or synthetic countertop, radius the corners of the

cutout to help avoid cracking. Consult the countertop

manufacturer's instructions for minimum corner radius,
reinforcement and heat protection requirements.

• For installations with a raised vent, install this appliance
only with the approved Dacor raised vent models listed
on page 6.

Gas and Electric Service Location

• The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec-
trical outlet must be located so they do not interfere
with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing another
appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the routing of
gas and electrical service out the back of the unit.

• The shaded area on the facing page shows the rec-
ommended location of the gas inlet and the electrical
outlet. For replacement purposes, the location of the
existing utilities may be utilized provided they do not

interfere with the sides or rear of the cooktop. Check
local building codes for permissible utility locations.

• For best performance and to minimize gas pressure

loss, attach the gas supply regulator as close as pos-

sible to the cooktop gas inlet.

The installation must:

Allow for access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator
when the unit is installed.

Allow for access to the electrical outlet, when the
cooktop is in place so that the power cord may be eas-

ily disconnected if the unit needs service.

Allow for connection of the (32") power cord to the
electrical outlet.

• If a raised vent is to be installed, allow for access to the
gas supply valve and electrical outlet when the raised
vent is in place.

Perform the following ignition test for all of the burners:

• Push in and turn one of the control knobs counter-
clockwise to the HIGH position. Only the igniter for

the selected burner will spark. It may take up to four
seconds for the gas to ignite, at which time the ignit-
er will stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within

four seconds, turn the knob to the OFF position, wait
for at least five minutes to allow any gas to dissipate,

then repeat the test.

• Once the burner lights, the control knob can be rotat-
ed counterclockwise from HIGH to LOW to adjust the

flame height progressively.

When the unit is installed properly, the flame will be
steady. It will also have a sharp, blue inner cone that

will vary in length pro-

portional to the burner
size. The flame will be

reduced by the Smart
Flame TM feature under

the grate fingers to
increase grate life.

OFF HIGH LOW

NOTE: If the cooktop does not operate properly, follow

these troubleshooting steps:

• Verify that power and gas are supplied to the cooktop.

• Check to make sure that the power plug is connected
to the electrical outlet and that power is turned on at

the circuit breaker or fuse box.

• Check to make sure that all burner parts are properly
seated.

• If the burner continues to spark after ignition without
stopping, have a licensed electrician check the electri-
cal outlet for proper grounding or reversed polarity.

• Repeat the burner ignition test.

If the appliance still does not work, contact Decor
Distinctive Service at [phone]. Do not attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. Be sure to have the model
