Getting to Know Your Range

BACKGUARD: The range comes with the standard island trim 

package. The optional backguard comes in three sizes, 3”, 9” or 

24”. It is attached by the installer if the wall behind your range 

is combustible. It protects the wall from the effects of heat and 

splattering grease. See the installation instructions.
SPILL TRAY: The spill tray catches any food that falls through 

the cooktop grates.
GRATES: The porcelain coated cast iron grates support the  

cooking utensils during cooking. They are removable to allow the 

area below and around the burners to be cleaned easily. The size 

and location of the grates depends on the model of the range.

Burner Locations

A.  2000 to 8500 BTU stack burner

B.  2200 to 16000 BTU stack burner

Special Cooktop Features

Perma-Flame™: The Perma-Flame instant re-ignition feature 

automatically re-lights a burner quickly if it goes out. With Perma-

Flame, your cooking experience is uninterrupted because the 

flame is re-ignited at the same level as when it went out.
Smart Flame™: Smart Flame technology reduces the  

temperature under the fingers of the porcelain-coated cast iron 

grates. Smart-Flame extends grate life and protects the finish.
SimmerSear™: Dacor’s exclusive precision burner control 

system. It allows you to cook with a wide range of heat settings, 

from simmer to sear.

About the Cooktop

BURNERS: The size and location of each burner depends on the 

range model. The range generates a spark to light the burner 

when you turn the knob to ON. Gaskets around the underside 

of the burner bases prevent spilled liquids from leaking into the 

range’s internal parts.
BURNER CONTROL KNOBS: Use the knobs to turn on the  

burners and adjust the flame size. The corresponding knob  

illuminates when a burner is on.
TRIM RINGS: Located behind each knob. They prevent liquids 

from getting into the range’s internal parts.
