Purpose of This Manual

This Use & Care Manual is designed to enable
you to properly operate and maintain your new
cooktop. Please keep this manual handy for
easy access and quick reference.

Additional information may be requested by
e-mailing, writing or phoning the DACOR
Customer Service Department. The address
and phone number of this department are listed
on the inside front cover of this manual.

What to Do

1. Begin by insuring proper installation and
grounding of the appliance by a qualified
technician. Have the installer show you
where the fuse or junction box is located
so that you know how and where to turn off
power.

2. Never let clothing, potholders or other
flammable materials come in contact with
the burners while in operation. Fabric may
ignite and result in personal injury. For
personal safety wear proper apparel; loose
fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while cooking.

3. Always use pot holders when removing
utensils from the cooktop elements. Wet or
damp pot holders can cause steam burns.
Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place
of pot holders.

4. Select utensils of the proper size, material,
and construction for the particular type of
cooking being done. Choose cookware
with a flat bottom that closely matches the
diameter of the heating element.

Select pans with easily grasped handles

that will stay cool during cooking. Avoid
using pans that are too heavy to lift safely.
Do not use utensils with loose handles.
Use cookware only as it is intended.
Certain types of glass, ceramic, and
earthenware utensils are suitable for
use only in an oven and not in cooktop
applications.

5. Always turn pan handles to the side or
back of the range. Do not turn handles
towards the room where they are easily hit.
Handles should not extend over adjacent
heating elements.

6. Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If
using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until
the cooktop has cooled sufficiently to
prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes when applied
to hot surfaces.

What Not to Do

1. Never use your cooktop to warm or heat
the room.

2. When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH
THE GLASS SURFACE directly above
or adjacent to the heating elements. The
glass surface may become hot enough to
cause burns.

3. Do not leave children alone or unattended
in the area where the cooktop is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on the appliance. Do not let children
play with the cooktop.

4. CAUTION: Do not store items of interest
to children above or at the back of the
cooktop – they could climb on it to reach
the items and be seriously injured.

5. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in literature you received. All
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.

6. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother
the flame, or use a dry chemical or foam­type extinguisher.

7. Never leave burners unattended when
using high heat settings. Boil-overs and
greasy spill-overs may smoke and/or ignite.

8. Do not operate the cooktop if the ceramic
glass top is broken or severely pitted.
Call a qualified technician to repair the
appliance.

9. Do not store flammable materials near
hot components or let grease or other
flammable substances accumulate on the
cooktop.

If you received a damaged product,
immediately contact your dealer or builder.

Setting the Controls

Before operating the cooktop, clean the
glass ceramic surface carefully as outlined
in the Care and Cleaning Instructions. The
cooktop surface must be free of any foreign
substances, especially those that could melt
and permanently adhere to the glass.

During the first uses of your new cooktop, you
may smell a slight burning odor or see light
smoke. Both of these conditions are normal in
new glass ceramic cooktops.

Heating Elements

DACOR glass ceramic cooktops contain ribbon
type radiant heating elements in various sizes to
allow the user the greatest cooking flexibility.

The Ribbon Radiant Heaters illuminate within
approximately 3-4 seconds of activation. The
Dual Element consists of two elements which
may be operated simultaneously for heavy
cooking demands. The inner element may be
operated alone for improved simmering with
smaller utensils.

All elements feature temperature limiters to
ensure that the safe operating temperature of
the glass ceramic top is never exceeded.

DACOR glass ceramic cooktops operate by
automatically cycling the heating elements
between “off” and full power. As the numeric
setting of the control is increased, the element
will stay at full power for longer periods and at
zero power for shorter durations.

When the element is set to the dual range, both
the inner and outer elements will cycle on and
off at the same time. (The outer heating element
can never be operated alone.)

For maximum performance from any burner
remember to closely match heating element
diameters and cookware size.

Residual Heat Indicator Lights

All Dacor glass cooktops have element residual
heat indicator lights. These indicating lights
remain illuminated until the burner cools down to
a safe temperature of 140º degrees.

IMPORTANT:

Be certain that the cookware and glass
surfaces are clean and dry before you turn
on the burner and place a pot or pan on the
heating burner.

Element ON Indicator Light

NOTE:

When at its highest setting, the heating
element may cycle off due to the protection
of the temperature limiter built into each
element. This temperature limiting occurs
automatically to prevent exceeding the
maximum allowable surface temperature and
to maintain the constant desired heat level.
The element will cycle back on after it has
cooled to a safe temperature.

ETT Models

To turn an element on, tap the “ON/OFF” key
then tap the up arrow for the desired element.
The element will come on at a setting of “5” and
may be adjusted up or down by pressing the
appropriate key.

To activate the Dual Element, tap the “ON/OFF”
key then tap the Dual Element Indicator to
activate the outer ring of the element. It will
come on at a setting of “5”, then tap the up
indicator for desired temperature setting.

To turn an element off, tap the “ON/OFF” key.
You may turn off all active elements at the same
time by tapping twice on the Dacor logo located
below the controls.

ETT Secure Lockout

To avoid accidentally turning the cooktop on
while cleaning it, activate the “Secure Lockout”
feature.

To lock out the cooktop:

Press and hold the DACOR logo for 3-4
seconds and the cooktop will be secured from
use. You will hear three beeps and a light will
illuminate directly above the DACOR logo
indicating that the cooktop is secure. The control
panel is now disabled and may be cleaned
without activating any functions.

To unlock the cooktop:

Press and hold the DACOR logo for 3-4
seconds. You will hear three beeps and the light
will go out. The control panel is now ready for
use.

NOTES:

1. For maximum safety, the cooktop
will be in the “lock out” mode when
first installed, or whenever power
is interrupted. Follow the “Unlock”
instructions above to reactivate the
control panel.

2. To turn off multiple burners all at one
time - tap the Dacor logo twice.

Push down and turn the knob to the desired
temperature setting. The control knobs can be
turned either clockwise or counterclockwise
to the desired temperature setting. The knob
that controls the Dual Element may be pushed
down and turned counter-clockwise to heat the
single inner element or clockwise to heat both
the inner and outer elements. All knobs may
be positioned below setting #1 to achieve the
lowest temperatures possible.

One light indicating power is on to any of the
elements.
