Operating the Cooktop
Cooktop Tips
• Dacor’s SimmerSear feature allows you precision con-
trol of the flame. The larger the burner size, the wider
the range of control. See page 6 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.
Using the Griddle
For best results, allow the griddle to preheat for about 10
minutes before you start to cook.

hot, soapy water. Rinse it and allow it to dry thor-
oughly.
2. With all of the burners off and the range cool to the
touch, put the griddle over the top of the right grate
on the range*. The grease trap goes toward the back
of the range. Fit the tabs that stick out of the bottom
of the feet into the inside corners of the grate. When
it is correctly installed, the griddle will rest securely
about 1/2” above the top surface of the grate. It may
rock slightly, which is normal.
3. Turn the right front burner knob to the light (high)
position. Once lit, turn the knob to the MAX GRID-
DLE position, or lower if desired. DO NOT keep the
burner knobs higher than the MAX GRIDDLE setting
after they are lit!
4. Repeat step 3 for the right rear burner knob.
