Operating the Range
Before You Use the Cooktop
• Normal flame are steady and blue. Foreign matter
in the gas line (especially new construction), may
cause an orange flame that corrects itself with
use. For LP gas, yellow-tipped flames are normal.
• See Page 3 for the burners’ heat ranges.
• Food cooks as quickly at a gentle boil as at a roll-
ing boil. Stronger boils waste energy and cook
moisture, flavor, and nutrients out of the food.
• Use a low or medium flame if cooking in poor
heat-conducting cookware (e.g., glass, ceramic,
or cast iron). Adjust the flame to cover 1/3 of the
cookware diameter to ensure even heating and
reduce the likelihood of burning the food.
• Dacor’s SimmerSear burner lets you precisely
control the flame, from low to high heat.
Igniting a Burner
Each burner-control knob has a small graphic
that indicates which burner the knov operates.
1. Push-turn the knob to HIGH (flame icon).
The knob illuminates, and the burner’s igniter
sparks (click-click-click) until the burner ignites
4 seconds later. The flame should burn evenly
around the burner, except below each grate
finger, where flame height is reduced by Dacor’s
Smart Flame feature.
If the burner does not ignite in 4 seconds or if the
flame dies, turn the burner off, open a window,
and let the gas dissipate for at least 2 minutes,
then retry Step 1.
If ignition still fails, the igniter keeps sparking, or
the flame spreads unevenly around the cap, see
Troubleshooting, Pg. 20.
2. Place the cookware on the grate.
3. Adjust the flame to the cook task.

Using the Griddle
For best results, preheat the griddle for 10 minutes.
Before using the griddle the first time, wash it in
hot, soapy water, then rinse and fully dry it.
All burners should be off and the range cool to the
touch before you place the griddle.
1. Orient the grease trap toward the rear, and set
the griddle on the right-side grates (see below).
Fit the tabs on the griddle feet in the inside cor-
ners of the grate. The griddle rests securely about
1/2” above the grates. Slight rocking is normal.
2. Push-turn the right-front burner knob to the
flame icon. When the burner ignites, turn the
knob to MAX GRIDDLE (or lower if desired).
Higher settings will damage the griddle.
3. Repeat Step 2 for the right rear burner.
Avoid using metal utensils, which can mar the
griddle’s non-stick coating. Clean the griddle after
each use. (See Pg. 17 for instructions.)
