Operating Your Range

Lighting a Burner

Each burner control knob has a small dia-

gram next to it to tell you which burner it 

operates.

Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clock-

1. 

wise to the HIGH position. The knob will illu-

minate and 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.  

 

If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or 

if the flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the 

knob to the OFF position. Open a window and 

allow at least two minutes for the gas to dissi-

pate. Repeat the lighting procedure.  

 

If a burner still 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 18.
Place the cooking utensil on the grate.

Adjust the flame to the level necessary to per-

form 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. Eliminate any drafts or reduce the ventila-

tion blower speed to reduce this type of problem.
