General Safety Precautions

For safe operation and best results when using this cooktop, learn and follow these precautions:

WARNING

• Concerning the cooktop in general:

- If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer/builder. Do not install/use a damaged appliance.

- Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use at high settings (level 5 and higher); boil-overs cause bursts of steam and spatter hot
liquid; greasy spill-overs cause smoke and may ignite.

- Use the cooktop only as intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact Dacor Customer Assurance. (See Pg. 1.)

- Ensure the cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer as specified in the installation manual. Have the installer show
you your home’s circuit-breaker panel or fuse box so you know how to turn off power to the appliance.

- Install/repair/replace cooktop components only as specifically recommended in the accompanying manuals. A qualified technician must
perform all other service.

• Concerning cooktop handling/operation:

- The glass surface is impact-resistant but a pan or other object dropped on it with sufficient force will crack or pit it. Do not operate the
appliance if the glass top is broken or severely pitted. Cleaning solutions and spill-overs may penetrate a broken cooktop, creating an
electric-shock risk. Contact a qualified technician immediately to replace the damaged/pitted cooktop glass.

- Do not tamper with the cooktop controls.

- Do not touch the surface of a cooking element or surrounding areas. (Though dark in color, elements may still be hot. Areas near surface
units may be hot enough to cause burns. During/after use, do not touch or let clothing or flammable materials contact cooking elements
until you are sure the elements have cooled.)

- Do not let anyone use the cooktop unless they know how to operate it properly.

- When a self-cleaning oven is installed below the cooktop, you should not use the cooktop during the oven self-cleaning process.

• Concerning cooktop service/maintenance:

- Before performing any service, verify that power to the cooktop is turned OFF at the circuit-breaker panel or fuse box.

- Clean/maintain the cooktop regularly and only as instructed in this manual. Dirt and grease left on the cooktop, ventilation filters, and range
hood create a possible fire hazard.

• Concerning children/pets:

- To avoid cooktop damage and serious personal injury or death, never let children sit/stand/climb on the cooktop.

- Do not leave children/pets unattended around an operating cooktop.

- Do not let children play with any part of the cooktop.

- Do not store items of interest to children on/above the cooktop.

- Non-stick coatings, when heated, can harm pet birds. When using non-stick cookware/accessories, move birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room.

• Concerning cooking practices:

- Use the cooktop only for cooking tasks consistent with a home appliance as outlined in this manual. This cooktop is not engineered for
commercial/industrial use.

- Do not heat unopened canned/bottled food. (Pressure buildup may burst the container, causing personal injury.)

- When stirring/turning food, grasp the pan by its handle to prevent accidents due to unexpected movement.

- Use extreme caution when adding water to food in a hot pan; the resulting steam can cause serious burns.

- Do not let pans boil dry.

- Do not turn the cooktop ON with empty cookware on a cooking element. (Doing so can damage the pan/cooktop.)

- Do not use towels or bulky cloth as potholders.

- To prevent steam burns, do not remove cookware from the cooktop with wet potholders.

- Cook meat and poultry to internal temperatures of at least 160°F and 180°F respectively to minimize the possibility of contracting a
food-borne illness.

- Use high heat settings only as needed, and only if you are present; use low to medium settings to heat oil slowly.

- Use only “ferrous” (magnetic) cookware on this induction cooktop. Never use a steel plate/griddle to heat non-magnetic cookware. Personal
injury or appliance damage may result from using improper cookware.

- Use cookware of the proper size/material/construction for the particular cooking task; cookware must be able to contain the desired
quantity of food without boiling/spilling over. Choose pans with handles that are easily held and will stay cool while cooking. Do not use
cookware that is awkward/too heavy to lift safely or that has loose handles.

- To reduce the risk of injury/spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, TURN COOKWARE HANDLES SO THEY DO NOT EXTEND
OVER THE COUNTER FRONT EDGE OR ADJACENT COOKING ELEMENTS/COUNTERS.

• Concerning deep-fat frying:

- Never leave a deep-fat fryer or other cookware used for frying unattended.

- Do not add so much food that the bubbling oil/fat overflows the pot.

- Do not fry moist/frozen foods, as these will likely cause the oil/fat to spatter or spill.

- Stir together combinations of oil and fat before heating; heat the oil/fat slowly. Use a cooking thermometer to avoid heating the oil/fat
beyond its flashpoint.

- Turn on the range hood.

Before Using the Cooktop

About Induction Cooking

The induction cooktop does not use a gas flame or electric
heating coil to heat food; rather, it heats food via a magnetic
reaction between the metallic cookware and the cooktop heating
element. (See the graphic below.)

The resulting heat is confined to the area of contact between the
cookware and the cooktop cook zone; thus making the induction
format safer and more energy efficient (90% of induction energy
is used to cook your food compared to only 55% for gas and 65%
for electric cooking) than traditional thermal conduction.

Induction cooking also lets you instantly and precisely change
cooking levels. This is especially desirable when heating foods
that are ruined if only slightly overheated (ex: chocolate). Also,

you can keep food at a specific level over time; whereas, gas and
electric conduction settings cannot maintain constant heat levels.

To confirm cookware compatibility for induction use, touch any
magnet to its base. If the magnet sticks, the cookware is compatible.

These types of cookware may be used on the induction cooktop:

• Stainless steel (for induction)

• Enameled steel

• Cast iron

• Cookware labeled “Induction Compatible.”
Incompatible cookware includes: thin, regular steel; copper;

aluminum; glass; clay (ceramic).

Before Using the Cooktop

About the Cookware

WARNING

Use correct pan sizes. The cooktop features five cook-zone sizes
(includes the bridge zone). Cookware diameter should be large enough
to cover the cook zone. Undersized cookware exposes part of the
heating element, which reduces heating efficiency and may be unsafe.

• Improper cookware will not cook efficiently or evenly, and can
be unsafe; thus, you should select ferrous (magnetic) cookware
such as cast iron or cookware designed for induction cooking,
which typically is marked (on the bottom) with this symbol:

• Non-magnetic cookware will not heat food and may cause
vibration or activate the “No Pan Detected” indicator: (See
About Pan Detection, this page.)

• Use cookware appropriate to the amount of food being prepared.

• Use tight-fitting lids to retain heat and avoid spills.

Do not use:

• cookware with round bottoms or rough bottoms that could
scratch the glass cooktop

• griddle plates that cover multiple cook zones (except if bridging)

• greasy/grimy/dusty/damaged cookware.

Power Level 1 to Boost

If you set a cook zone power level from 1 to Boost but no pan
is present, a U-shaped symbol (representing the cross-section
of a pan) alternates with the setting number (or letter “b” when
in boost mode) on the readout, signalling that no cookware is
detected.

Correctly Sizing/Placing the Cookware

A cook zone shuts itself off after 10 minutes if it cannot detect
cookware. To ensure your cookware is detected:

• use a pan that is no larger/smaller than ½” of the zone
perimeter. (If the pot is too small, the cooktop may not detect it;
if the pot is too large, heating efficiency may suffer.)

• Center the pan within the cook zone.

About Pan Detection

Active cook zones will not heat up unless an induction-compatible
pot/pan is within the zone. If you turn ON a cook zone and set a
heat level, but—

• no cookware is present

• the cookware is not fully within the zone

• you remove the cookware without turning OFF the zone
—a certain symbol (depending on the setting) appears in the

digital readout above the heat-level ramp, indicating that no
cookware is detected.

Simmer Level

If you set a cook-zone heat level at Simmer but no pan is present,
a U-shaped symbol (representing the cross-section of a pan)
“bobs” up and down on the digital readout, signalling that no
cookware is detected.

Using the Cooktop

Getting Started

• Remove all packing material/labels/tape from the cooktop.

• Clean the cooktop with a damp sponge, then dry it with a soft
cloth or paper towel.

• A slight burning odor or light smoke may be present initially.
This is normal and temporary.

Cooking Tips

• Experiment with power levels to decide the best level for your
cooking needs and style; take note of the setting that works
best for a particular food/recipe.

• Cookware distributes heat (via electro-magnetic energy) based
on material makeup and sturdiness, so cook times for the same
recipes may vary slightly between similar cookware made by
different manufacturers.

• The bridge feature (combined left-front/-rear cook zones) is for
griddles and rectangular/oblong cookware that is too large for
one zone. Using oversized cookware on any other combination
of zones results in uneven cooking from inefficient power usage.

Turning the Cooktop ON/OFF

Turning a Cook Zone ON/OFF

This section instructs you how to activate a cook zone. Always
clean and dry the cooktop before cooking.

CAUTION

• Foreign substances on a control panel may activate/de-activate a
cook zone or change a zone’s heating level. If this happens, wipe the
area with a dry cloth, then restore the zone’s settings.

• Do not touch the cook zone while the HOT indicator is lit.

1. Center your pan on a cook zone. (If needed, see About Pan
Detection.)

2. Tap the zone’s power button.
The ON designator appears.

The cooktop can be turned on safely with or without cookware
placed on the cook zone. Power will only be applied after you
place cookware on the cook zone.

WARNING

• Metallic foreign objects (ex: utensils, lids, cans) left on the cooktop
can heat to unsafe temperatures and may warp.

• The glass around the cook zones cannot be control heated, but it
can heat to an unsafe temperature from hot cookware left on it.

♦ Tap-hold the main power button (1-2 seconds) to turn ON the

cooktop.

• If you turn on the cooktop but do not activate a cook zone
within 10 seconds, the cooktop shuts off.

• If you turn on the cooktop and activate a cook zone but do not set
a power level within 10 seconds, the cook zone shuts off; if you
take no further action within 10 seconds, the cooktop shuts off.

• The main power button overrides all cook zones; tapping this
button turns OFF all cook zones and the cooktop.

• In case you accidentally tap the main power button, press it
again within five seconds to restore all previous settings.

• If a cook zone is on for an extended period (depending on the
power setting) and the control settings are unchanged, the
cooktop shuts off. (The HOT indicator remains until the cooktop
surface is safe to touch.)

3. Tap the power-level bar or slide your finger along it (right, to
increase and left, to decrease power), and remove your finger
at the desired power level.

NOTE

• If you do not select a power level within 10 seconds of activating a
cook zone, the zone shuts off.

• You can change the power level at any time during cooking.

4. When finished, tap the cook zone power button.
The cook zone is off.
Instead of turning off the zone, you may remove the pan, and
the zone will shut off 10 minutes later. (Meanwhile, the cook
zone remains on at the original power level; the HOT indicator
remains until the zone is safe to touch.)

• All induction heating elements are equipped with a temperature

limiter (under the glass), which keeps the element from overheating.

• Active heating elements normally emit clicking sounds, that
vary in rhythm with the power-level and temperature settings.

About Power Levels

The cooktop cooks based on power levels (Simmer, Levels 1-9, and
Boost), similar to gas and electric cooktops..

A power level’s effectiveness varies slightly with the type/size of
cookware, and its structure and degree of magnetism.

Experimentation helps decide the best level at which to cook a
particular food/dish with your own cookware.

*To avoid bacterial growth, keep food temperatures above 140°F (60°C).

Setting Simmer Level

Simmering, which cooks food in hot liquid near but below boiling,
is often used for slow-cooking soups, chilis, stews, etc. On the
cooktop, Simmer is the first (left-most) level on the heat-level ramp.

1. Tap a cook-zone power button.

2. Touch the left-most end of the cook-zone slider.
The first bar of the heat-level ramp appears; the pot symbol (a
U-shaped symbol representing a pot) appears on the display.

1. At the desired power level, remove your finger.
A soft clicking signals that the zone is heating the food.

Setting Boost Mode

This feature quickly maximizes the cook-zone power level, which
is convenient for quickly boiling liquids or rapidly searing meats,
among other uses.

You can set Boost mode for three cook zones at a time (one zone
on the left, the center zone, and one zone on the right; you cannot
set both zones on either side at once).

NOTE

• Always clean and dry the cooktop surface before use.

• Boost mode raises the power about 60% above Level-9 power for 10
min. (You may then restart Boost mode if power conditions allow.)

• The reduction in power level from Boost to “9” (after 10 minutes) is a
programmed safety measure that prevents overheating.

• You cannot use Boost mode when bridging (left-side zones).

1. Tap a cook-zone power button.
The zone’s ON designator appears.

Setting Power Levels 1 to 9

These levels represent a gradual increase from low to high heat.

NOTE

Because so many factors (ex: cookware type/quality/thickness, presence
of a lid) affect cooking temperatures, temperature equivalents for each
power level are not provided.

WARNING

Do not fry foods above Level 6; such high heat levels will likely cause
cooking oils to smoke or catch fire.

1. Tap a cook-zone power button.
The zone’s ON designator appears.

2. Tap the cook-zone slider, and move to the desired level.
As you move your finger, power levels appear digitally on the
readout and as bars on the heat-level ramp.

2. Tap the Boost button (see previous graphic).
The display changes to “b”; the heat-level ramp is fully lit.

11

Using the Cooktop

Using Bridge Mode

You can combine (bridge) the left-hand front/rear cook zones into a tandem unit to accommodate a griddle or rectangular cookware.
On the cooktop, a horizontal bracket indicates which control panels combine for bridge mode.

In bridge mode, the power level and timer for the two cook zones are shared, and the left-most cook-zone control panel becomes the
master control (i.e., the bridge power level is regulated/displayed on the left-most control panel).

1. (Having turned on the cooktop) Tap the left-front and
left-rear cook-zone power buttons.

2. Simultaneously tap-hold the left-front and left-rear slide bars.
The two cook zones enter bridge mode; bridge symbols
appear on the control panel; the left-front control becomes
the master bridge control. (See the above graphic.)

3. Set the bridge power level by sliding your finger along the
master bridge control (left-hand) slide bar.

Using the Cooktop Timers

The cooktop has seven alarm timers: one for each cook zone and
one independent alarm timer not associated with a cook zone.

WARNING

The alarm timer does not shut off cook-zone power.

• If timers are set for multiple cook zones, the main control panel

displays the timer that will go off first, and that zone’s timer
icon glows brightly. (The other timer indicators are dimmed.)
When a cook-zone timer goes off, its timer indicator goes out,
and the timer indicator for the next cook zone in line brightens.

• The up-arrow on the main control panel adds time; the

down-arrow subtracts time.

• Press the up/down arrows simultaneously to pause the timer

display; countdown resumes automatically in 5 seconds.

• When a cook zone reaches its set time, a double-beep alarm

sounds until you press the up or down arrow; or the alarm shuts
off automatically after 2 minutes.

About the Main Timer Display

This section explains the various types of readouts that appear on
the main control-panel timer display.

The “dot” (see the Image column) blinks to show time is counting
down. It divides minutes/seconds (Image column, top row) and
hours/minutes (Image column, bottom row).

• Pan detection is on the master control (left-front control).

• The timer icon appears on both cook zones.

• If no pan is detected on either zone within 10 minutes, bridge
mode de-activates.

• If only one zone detects a pot, bridge mode de-activates in 10
minutes. (The cook zone with the pot on it stays active at the
same power level; the empty zone shuts off.)

• You cannot use the Boost function while in Bridge mode.

For settings of 10 minutes and higher, seconds do not appear on
the timer display, and the MIN designator is lit.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Cooktop Surface

WARNING

• Unless specified otherwise) Before cleaning, verify that all cook
zones are safe to touch.

• To avoid dangerous fumes and cooktop damage, use only the
specified cleaners as instructed. Abrasive cleaners/scrubbers may
permanently damage the cooktop.

• When removing cooked-on spills, use only the included scraper or
a plastic spatula. Utilizing a knife, metal spatula, or other such tool
may damage the cooktop.

Cleaners To Avoid

• Chlorine-/ammonia-based glass cleaners

• Caustic cleaners (ex: oven cleaners)

• Abrasive pads (ex: metal or nylon scouring pads, Scotch Brite
and SOS pads, certain sponges)

• Powder/liquid cleansers containing chlorine bleach or
abrasive substances

• Flammable liquids (ex: paint thinner, turpentine, acetone,
rubbing alcohol; some of these may not harm the glass but
may pose health/injury risks).

Performing Special Cleaning Tasks

Removing Burned-On Food

1. Lay a moist cloth or paper towel over the soiled area for ½ hour.

2. Once the char/crust softens, wipe the area clean and dry.

3. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme to the cooktop. (See

Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.)

Treating Metal Marks

Cookware occasionally leaves marks. If the cleaning creme does
not remove marks, try a mild cleanser (ex: Bon Ami).

1. Lightly dust the soiled area with cleanser, then gently scrub
the area with a wet dishcloth.

2. Once clean, wipe the area with a clean, wet dishcloth.

3. Dry the cooktop, and apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
(See Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.)

NOTE

Magnetic stainless steel and porcelain-coated steel/iron pans are less
likely to leave marks than other cookware. Cast-iron pans are more
likely to mark the glass. Never slide cookware across the glass.

Removing Water Spots

1. Apply undiluted white vinegar to the affected area.

2. Wipe the area with clean water.

3. Dry the cooktop, and apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
(See Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.)

NOTE

Remove sugar, syrup, and tomato spills WHILE THE COOKTOP
SURFACE IS HOT. Use only a plastic spatula or the included

scraper. After scraping, let the cooking surface cool, then wipe
up the residue with a dry towel/sponge.

Using the Scraper to Clean Cooktop Spills

1. Remove the cookware, and via the main power button, turn
OFF the cooktop.

2. Holding the scraper at a slight angle WITH THE BLADE
ABSOLUTELY FLAT AGAINST THE SURFACE, push the spill/
residue out of the heated cook zone. (Do not let the corner of
the blade scratch/gouge the cooktop surface.)

About Scratches

Surface scratches are unsightly but will not hinder performance.
Scratches cannot be removed, so avoid them by using clean,

smooth cookware and removing gritty food spills quickly.
Keep the cooktop clean, and regularly apply Dacor Cooktop

Cleaning Creme. (See Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.)

Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme

Regularly applying this creme to the cooktop protects the surface
and eases food/stain removal.

1. (When the cooktop is safe to touch) With a damp cloth, apply
±¼ tsp of cleaning creme to the glass.

2. With a clean, damp cloth, remove residual cleaning creme.

3. With a clean, dry cloth, wipe the cooktop completely dry.

3. Let the surface cool, and remove any residue.

4. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme per package

instructions. (See Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.)
