Lighting a Burner
Each burner control knob has a small dia-
gram next to it with an indicator light to tell
you which burner it operates.
1. Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clock-
wise to the HIGH position. The indicator light
will illuminate and the burner igniters will spark
(a clicking sound) repeatedly until the burner
lights. The burner should light within four sec-
onds. The flame should burn evenly around the
perimeter of the burner, except underneath each
grate support finger, where the flame height is
reduced by Dacor’s Smart Flame feature.
If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or
if the flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the
knob to the OFF position. Open a window and
allow at least two minutes for the gas to dissi-
pate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
If a burner still does not ignite, the igniters
continue to spark or if the flame is not spread
evenly around the burner cap, see the Before
You Call for Service section on page 18.
2. Place the cooking utensil on the grate.
3. Adjust the flame to the level necessary to per-
form the desired cooking process.
IMPORTANT: When the cooktop is cool, the ignit-
ers may continue to spark if the control knob is set
to the low position. The igniters will stop sparking
when the burner is 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 igniters will also spark automatically 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.
