Dacor ER48D Installation Instruction

Installation Instructions

Verifying Proper Operation

Before operating the range, read the accompanying use and 

care manual completely. It contains Important safety, service and 

warranty information.
1.  Before beginning the test procedure, ensure that all cooktop 

control valves are in the 

OFF position, and all burner rings, 

burner caps, and grates are properly positioned on the 

cooktop frame. Turn on the gas supply at the shut-off valve.

2.  Check for gas leaks.
3.  Turn on power to the range.
4.  Set the time of day: Press the clock key. Enter the time on 

the number keypad (within 6 seconds). Press 

START. 

5.  Press the 

BAKE key.

6.  Enter the temperature of 350°F on the keypad.
7.  Press 

START.

8.  The display should show 

BAKE, and the preheating 

temperature.

9.  Press the 

CANCEL-SECURE key to stop the oven heating 

process.

10.  Test one of the burners by pushing the knob in and turning it 

counterclockwise to the 

HIGH position. It may take up to four 

seconds for ignition to occur, at which time the ignitor will stop 

sparking. If ignition does not occur within four seconds, turn 

off the knob, wait for at least five minutes to allow any gas to 

dissipate, then repeat the ignition test. After ignition, rotate 

the control knob counterclockwise 

from 

HIGH to LOW to adjust the 

flame height progressively. When 

the range is installed properly, the 

flame will be steady and quiet. 

It will also have a sharp, blue 

inner cone that will vary in length 

proportional to the burner size. 

Dacor’s Smart Flame™ feature 

reduces the flame under the grate 

fingers to increase grate life. If the 

range is equipped for use with LP 

gas, the ends of the flame may be yellow at the tips, which is 

normal.

11.  Turn the control knob to the 

OFF position.

12.  Repeat the ignition test for all remaining burners.
If the range does not operate properly, follow these 

troubleshooting steps:
1.  Verify that power and gas are supplied to the range.
2.  Check the electrical connections and gas supply to ensure 

that the installation has been completed correctly.

3.  Repeat the above bake test or burner ignition test.
4.  If the appliance still does not work, contact Dacor Distinctive 

Service at (800) 793-0093 ex. 2822. Do not attempt to repair 

the appliance yourself. Have the model and serial numbers 

available when you call. See page 3 for location.

Dacor is not responsible for the cost of correcting problems 

caused by a faulty installation.
