Installation Instructions

Verifying Proper Operation

•  Make sure that power to the electrical outlet is turned 

off at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box and that 

the gas is turned off at the gas supply valve before 

proceeding.

•  The cooktop must be properly grounded at all times 

when electrical power is applied. 

Prior to operating the cooktop, read the accompanying use 

and care manual carefully.
1.  Make sure all the cooktop burner controls are in the 

OFF position.

2.  Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet.
3.  Turn on power to the electrical outlet at the circuit 

breaker panel or fuse box.

4.  Push down and turn the left front burner control knob 

slowly counterclockwise to the 

HIGH posi-

tion. The corresponding burner indicator light 

should come on. Verify that the burner igniter 

sparks, then return the knob to the 

OFF 

position. Repeat for all of the remaining  

control knobs.

5.  Turn on the gas supply valve.
6.  Perform the following ignition test for all of the burners, 

one at a time:
•  Push down and turn the control knob slowly coun-

terclockwise to the 

HIGH position. All of the burner 

igniters will spark. It may take up to 4 seconds for 

the burner to ignite, at which time the igniters will 

stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within 4 

seconds, turn the knob to the off position. Wait for 

at least 5 minutes to allow any gas to dissipate, 

then repeat the test.

•  Once the burner lights, rotate the control knob 

counterclockwise from 

HIGH to LOW to adjust the 

flame height progressively. On the SimmerSear 

burner, only the center of the burner should be lit 

when the knob is in the low position. 

•  When the unit is installed properly, the flame will 

be steady. It will 

also have a sharp, 

blue inner cone 

that will vary in 

length proportional 

to the burner size. 

The flame will be 

reduced by the 

Smart Flame™ 

feature under the 

grate fingers to 

increase grate life.

these troubleshooting steps:
•  Verify that power and gas are supplied to the cooktop.
•  Check to make sure that the power plug is connected 

to the electrical outlet and that power is turned on at 

the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

•  Check to make sure that the burner parts are properly 

seated.

•  If the burner continues to spark after ignition without 

stopping, have a licensed electrician check the electri-

cal outlet for proper grounding or reversed polarity.

•  Repeat the above burner ignition test.
•  If the appliance still does not work, contact Dacor

to repair the appliance yourself. If you need service, be
