Operating Your Outdoor Grill
Lighting the Side Burners (OB52 and
OBS52 Only)
Each side burner control knob has an icon next to
it to tell you which burner it operates.
1. Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clock-
wise to the LIGHT/HIGH position. The knob
will illuminate and the igniter for the burner
will spark (click) repeatedly until it lights. The
burner should light within ve seconds.
2. If the gas does not ignite after ve seconds or if the
ame goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob to the
OFF position. Allow at least ve minutes for the gas to
dissipate.
3. Repeat the lighting procedure. If a burner still does
not ignite, the igniter continues to spark or if the
ame is not spread evenly around the burner cap,
see the Before You Call for Service section on page
22. The burner(s) may also be lit manually (see
page 12).
4. Place the cooking utensil on the grate.
5. Turn the control knob counter-clockwise to reduce the
ame until it covers approximately 1/3 of the uten-
sil diameter. Doing so will ensure even heating and
reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.
CAUTION
Do not put the burner cover over the side burners while
hot. Excessive heat may cause permanent discoloration.
Burner Lighting Notes
• Dacor’s automatic re-ignition system will automati-
cally ignite an extinguished ame.
• If the igniter does not work for one of the standard
burners, it may be lit using the manual lighting
instructions. See page 12.
• A normal ame for the standard “U” burners and the
side burners is steady and blue in color. Foreign mate-
rial in the gas line, especially in new construction,
may cause an orange ame during initial operation. It
will disappear with further use. Small orange tips on
the ends of the ames are normal when using LP gas.
• After a few minutes of use, the optional IR sear
burner will glow red, which is normal.
• On side burners, the ame should burn evenly around
the perimeter of the burner, except underneath
each grate support nger, where the ame height is
reduced by Dacor’s Smart-Flame™ feature.
• When a side burner is cool, the igniter may continue
to spark when the knob is set to the low position.
The burner will stop sparking when warm. To reduce
sparking when cold, operate the burner at a higher
setting for about 60 seconds, then lower the ame to
cook. The burner will also warm up faster if a utensil
is placed on the grate. The igniter will also spark auto-
matically if the ame is distorted by the wind.
