To Light a Burner:

Each burner control knob has a small diagram 
next to it to tell you which burner it operates.
1.  Push in on the knob and turn it counter-

clockwise to the HIGH position. The igniter for the 

burner will spark repeatedly until it lights. The spark 

makes a “clicking” sound. The burner should light 

within four seconds.

2.  The flame should burn evenly around the perimeter 

of the burner, except underneath each grate support 

finger, where the flame height is reduced by Dacor’s 

Smart Flame feature. A normal flame is steady and 

blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line, especially 

in new construction, may cause an orange flame during 

initial operation. This will disappear with further use. 

Small yellow tips on the ends of the flames are normal 

when using LP gas.

3.  If a burner does not ignite, the igniter continues to 

spark or if the flame is not spread evenly around the 

burner cap, see the Before You Call for Service section 

on page 30.

4.  Place the cooking utensil on the grate.
5.  Adjust the flame to the level necessary to perform the 

desired cooking process.

IMPORTANT: When the cooktop is cool, the igniter may 

continue to spark if the control knob is set to the LOW 

position. The burner will stop sparking when warm. The 

tendency to spark when cold can be reduced by operating 

the burner at a higher flame setting for about 60 seconds. 

After 60 seconds, lower the flame to cook. The burner will 

also warm up faster if a utensil is placed on the grate. The 

igniter will also spark automatically if the flame is distorted 

by a draft or by the household ventilation system. Elimi-

nate any drafts or reduce the ventilation blower speed to 
reduce this type of problem.

Operating the Cooktop

Cooktop Tips

Dacor’s SimmerSear feature allows you precision control 

of the flame. The larger the burner size, the wider the 

range of control. See page 4 for the heat ranges of the 

different burners.
•  Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at 

a vigorous, rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than 

necessary wastes energy and cooks moisture, food 

flavor and nutrients out of the food.

•  Use a low or medium flame when cooking with uten-

sils that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, 

ceramic or cast iron. Reduce the flame until it covers 

approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter. Doing so 

will ensure even heating and reduce the likelihood of 

burning or scorching the food.
