1.
Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to Lite (flame icon).
The burner's igniter sparks (click-click-click...) until it lights (about 4 seconds). A normal flame is
steady, blue, and burns evenly around the burner, except below a grate support, where flame
height is reduced by Dacor’s Smart Flame feature. Foreign matter in the gas line may cause an
orange flame that disappears with use. Small yellow tips on the flames are typical of LP gas.
2. Put the cookware on the grate, and adjust the flame to the cooking task.

• Each burner knob has a corresponding burner,
the location of which appears in a small graphic
next to each knob.
• In contrast to the other knobs, the griddle knob
has no flame symbol.
• If a burner does not ignite, the igniter keeps
sparking, or if the flame is uneven, see
Troubleshooting, Pg. 23.
Tips
• Foods cook as quickly at a gentle boil as at a vigorous boil. Using an unnecessarily high boil
wastes energy and cooks moisture, flavor, and nutrients out of food.
• Use a low or medium flame if using cookware that is a poor heat conductor (e.g., glass, ceramic,
cast iron). Reduce the flame to cover 1/3 of the cookware diameter. This ensures even heating
and lowers the chance of burning/scorching the food.
Manual Ignition
If case of a power failure, you can, with caution, ignite the burner manually.
1.1. Hold a long gas-grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.
2. Turn the burner knob to Lite (flame icon), and use the grill lighter to ignite the burner.
3.3. After ignition, turn the knob to adjust the flame level.
