On SimmerSear burners, there is also a 

•

SIMMER flame level indicator. On SimmerSear 

burners, turning the knob further counterclock-

wise reduces the flame to the SIMMER setting. 

Once in simmer mode, only the small inner 

burner operates and the simmer indicator light 

comes on.

IMPORTANT:

When the cooktop is cool the igniter may con-

•

tinue 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 automati-

cally if the flame is distorted by a draft or by 

the household ventilation system. Eliminate any 

drafts or reduce the ventilation blower speed to 

reduce this type of problem.
To keep the burners operating properly, keep the 

•

burner igniters, burner rings and burner caps 

clean and dry. See Care and Cleaning starting 

on page 8. Dirty or wet igniters will result in con-

stant sparking, even if there is a flame present.
The flame should burn evenly around the perim-

•

eter 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.

Cooking Tips

Reduce the flame height to the minimum level 

•

necessary to perform the desired cooking pro-

cess. Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil 

as it does at a vigorous, rolling boil. A higher boil 

than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away 

moisture and causes a loss in food flavor and 

nutrients.
Use low or medium flame heights when cooking 

•

in utensils that are poor conductors of heat, such 

as glass, ceramic, and cast iron cooking vessels. 

Reduce the flame height until it covers approxi-

mately 1/3 of the utensil diameter to ensure 

even heating and reduce scorching.
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce 

•

cooking times.
Use a timer rather than repeatedly removing the 

•

lid to check food. Doing so will decrease cooking 

time and save energy.
Thaw foods prior to cooking to reduce cooking 

•

time.
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.

Available Accessories

Wok Ring (Dacor Model# AWR4): The wok ring 

is a safe, convenient way to stir fry. Just place it on 

top of the grate, aligning the wok ring feet with the 

grate fingers. It will hold most standard sized woks.
Griddle (Dacor Model# AG13): The AG13 easy 

clean griddle is coated with a non-stick finish. It is 

good for cooking pancakes, eggs and various other 

foods. It is designed to sit on top of your cooktop 

burner grates. A maximum setting of medium is 

recommended to avoid damage to the cooktop. See 

the instructions included with griddle for further 

information.
