Installation requirements
Gas supply requirements
Provide adequate gas supply
Be sure to supply your cooktop with the gas for which it is designed. Do not try to convert
the cooktop to receive a different type of gas without consulting the gas supplier.
This cooktop converts to natural or propane gas. For LP gas, conversion must be made by a
qualified installer before operating the cooktop. For proper natural-gas operation, the
pressure supplied to the regulator must be 5 – 13 in. (13 – 33 cm) of water column. For LP
gas, the pressure must be 10 – 13 in. (25 – 33 cm) of water column.
When checking proper regulator operation, the inlet pressure must be at least 1 in. (2.5
cm) greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given. The pressure regulator (at
the inlet of the cooktop manifold) must remain in the supply line whether or not natural
or LP gas is used.
NOTE
• The cooktop has its own regulator. Use only the provided regulator, which must be
installed in the gas line that runs from the cooktop gas inlet to the gas shut-off valve.
• An external manual shut-off valve must be installed between the gas inlet and the
cooktop for turning on/off gas to the appliance.
• Be sure the connectors are installed when you need coupling by a qualified installer.
• On a new cooktop, never install used connectors, which can leak gas and cause
personal injury.
Special gas requirements (gas models sold in Massachusetts)
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS REQUIREMENTS:
WARNING
• Gas may leak in your system, creating a dangerous situation.
- Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
- Gas suppliers recommend installing a UL-approved gas detector.
• The cooktop must be installed by a plumber or gas fitter certified by the State of
Massachusetts.
•
A T-handle manual gas valve MUST be installed in the gas supply line to your cooktop.
• If a flexible gas connector is used to install your cooktop, multiple flexible gas lines
must not be connected in series.
English 17
Electrical requirements
WARNING
• The owner shall ensure the electrical service meets electrical requirements and that
the electrical outlet is properly installed by a licensed electrician.

Installing the grates
NOTE
For best results and longest life, install the grates as instructed below. When installed
properly, the openings in the grates are centered over the burners.
The three grates occupy specific positions on the cooktop. For maximum stability and
safe operation, these grates should only be used in their proper positions.
The back of the right grate is notched to help orient the grates correctly. (See the
graphic below.)
To correctly position the grates:
1. Find the notch on the back of the right-hand grate, and orient the grate properly above
the right-hand burners.
2. Gently lower the right-hand grate so its legs rest in the corresponding dimples on the
cooktop.
3. Likewise place the remaining grates so their feet rest in the corresponding dimples.
NOTE
Side grates are interchangeable. Characters (L, for left; R, for right) on the front indicate a
grate's position.

LP (Propane) conversion instruction
WARNING
• This conversion must be performed by a qualified installer or gas supplier per
manufacturer directions and all requirements of the governing authority. Failure to
follow ALL instructions could result in serious injury and property damage. The
agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
• Know the location of the gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off.
• Unplug or disconnect power before service.
• Do not use the cooktop with LP gas the pressure regulator and burner orifices have
not been converted for LP use. High flames and toxic fumes may cause serious injury.
• Ensure LP gas burner orifices are positioned properly during conversion. Improper
orifice placement will effect burner and cooking performance and could result in
personal injury and product damage.
All Dacor gas cooktops are manufactured to use natural gas. The cooktops ship with LP
Conversion Kits. The kit contains a set of burner orifices corresponding to the cooktop
burners. The orifices are packed in cardboard and placed in a plastic bag. The bag is
packaged with a user manual. The orifice in the pressure regulator is a dual-purpose
orifice (one side for natural gas, the other for LP gas.)
