• Do not use or light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch or use any electrical devices including the telephone in your building.
• From a neighbor’s phone, immediately call the gas supplier. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot contact the gas supplier, call the fire department.
IMPORTANT: To avoid the possibility of explosion or fire, do not store or use combustible, flammable or explosive
vapors and liquids (such as gasoline) inside or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Also keep items that could
explode, such as aerosol cans away from the cooktop. Do not store flammable or explosive materials in adjacent

monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard. Keep all the slots clear of
grease and grime.

by-products that are on the list of substances which
are known by the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. California law requires businesses

Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your cooktop, follow basic
safety precautions, including the following:
WARNING
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately
contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a
damaged appliance.
• Make sure that the cooktop has been properly
installed and grounded by a qualified installer
according to the accompanying installation
instructions. Have the installer show you the location
of the gas shut off valve and the power cord so that
you know where and how to turn off the gas supply
and disconnect power to the cooktop.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of the
cooktop unless specifically recommended in the
literature accompanying it. A qualified service
technician should perform all other service.
• Before performing any type of service, make sure that
the gas supply is turned off and the power cord to the
cooktop is disconnected.
• Only use this cooktop for cooking tasks expected of
a home appliance as outlined in this manual. This
cooktop is not intended for commercial use.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE
COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER
USE. After use, make sure these surfaces have had
sufficient time to cool before touching them.
• Make sure individuals who use the cooktop are able
to operate it properly.
• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or
climb on any part of the cooktop. Doing so may cause
damage, serious injury, or death.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area
around the cooktop. Do not allow children to play with
the controls, pull on the handle or touch other parts of
the cooktop.
• Do not store items of interest to children on top of
or above the cooktop. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on the appliance.
• Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a
power failure. If a power failure occurs while operating
the cooktop, turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
• Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter
any part of the cooktop unless specifically instructed
to do so in these instructions.
• Do not cover the burners and grates with anything
except properly selected cookware. Decorative covers
may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop
if a burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in
place.
WARNING
• Do not leave the cooktop unattended while in use to
avoid the possiblity of fire.
• Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby
food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
• Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for
the first time.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
plastic and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot
surfaces or gas burners.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the
cooktop. Do not allow clothing to come into contact
with the cooktop and surrounding areas during and
immediately after use.
• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
• Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over
the cooktop.
• If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long
curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow
over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
• Clean and maintain the cooktop regularly as
instructed in this manual. Keep the entire cooktop,
ventilation filters and cooktop hoods free of grease
that could catch fire.
• Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check
the manufacture’s recommendations before use to
determine if a utensil is suitable for use on a cooktop.
Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are
not suitable for use on a cooktop. Personal injury
or damage may result from the improper use of
cookware.
• Select cookware carefully. Use cookware of the
proper size, material and construction for the
particular type of cooking being done. Cookware
needs to be large enough to contain the desired
quantity of food without boil-overs or spill-overs.
Choose pans with easy to hold handles that will stay
cool while cooking. Do not use cookware with loose
handles. Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift
safely.
• Do not allow pots or pans to boil dry.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a
hot cooktop. The steam can cause serious burns or
scalds.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING WARNING
• Use only dry pot holders when removing food and
cookware from the cooktop. Wet pot holders can
cause steam burns.
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before
lighting a burner.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing
them from the valve stems.
• The cooktop should never be operated without the
knobs in place.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful
to pet birds. Relocate pet birds to a separate,
well-ventilated room while using the appliance.
• When deep fat frying:
◊ Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain
the desired volume of food without overflow caused
by the bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat
fryer unattended.
◊ Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods
with high water content may cause splattering or
spilling of the hot fat.
◊ Heat fat slowly and stir together any combination
of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Use a deep
fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to
temperatures above the flash point.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against possible
electric shock hazards. If only a two-prong outlet is
available, it is the customer’s responsibility to have it
replaced by a licensed electrician with a dedicated,
grounded three-prong electrical outlet.
Under any circumstances:
• DO NOT cut or remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug.
• DO NOT use an extension cord.
• DO NOT use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.
• DO NOT plug the cooktop into an electrical outlet with
a ground fault interrupter (GFI).
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be
burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
d. Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊ You have a Class ABC extinguisher and you
already know how to operate it.
◊ The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
◊ The fire department is being called.
◊ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
PROLONGED POWER FAILURE

Getting to Know Your Cooktop
Parts of the Cooktop
SimmerSear™ Burners: Dacor’s exclusive
precision burner control system. Models HDCT304
and HDCT365 are equipped with SimmerSearTM
Burners. The SimmerSear™ burner has a wider
range of heat settings than the single burners. The
wider range allows you precise heat control from
simmer (low) to sear (high).
Sealed Burners: Gaskets around the underside
of all burner bases prevent spilled liquids from leaking into the cooktop’s internal parts.
Long-Life Grates: The porcelain coated cast
iron grates support the cookware during use. They
are removable to allow the area below and around
the burners to be cleaned easily.
Spill Tray: This easy-clean tray catches all food
that falls through the grates. The tray also protects
the cooktop from boil-overs and drips.
Illumina™ Burner Control Knobs: Intui-
tive control knobs glow with Dacor’s signature
flame-white light to always let you know when the
burner is on.
Trim Rings: Located under the control knobs,
trim rings display the burner and flame settings. The
trim rings around SimmerSear knobs display the
simmer settings. See Operating Your Cooktop.
Other Features
Flameless Ignition: The cooktop generates a
spark that ignites a burner when you turn the knob
to the flame icon.
Perma-Flame™: Instant re-ignition feature
that automatically and quickly relights a burner.
Experience uninterrupted cooking from continuous
heating.
