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.

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 construc-

tion, may cause an orange flame during initial opera-

tion. This will disappear with further use. Small yellow 

tips on the ends of the flames are normal when using 

LP gas.
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 sec-

tion on page 30.

2.  Place the cooking utensil on the grate.
3.  Adjust the flame to the level necessary to perform the 

desired cooking process.

IMPORTANT: When a burner knob is set to LOW, the igniter 

may continue to spark if the burner is cold. The burner will 

stop sparking when warm. To reduce cold burner sparking, 

set the knob to HIGH for about 60 seconds, then lower the 

flame to cook. The igniter will also spark automatically if 

the flame is distorted by a draft or by the household venti-
lation system.

 Eliminate any drafts or reduce the ventila-

tion blower speed to reduce this type of problem.

Operating the Cooktop

Cooktop Tips

•  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.
