Important Safety Instructions
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact •
your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
Installations with less than 2 1/2” (64 mm) from the •
rear of the cooktop to a combustible vertical surface
must use Dacor backguard model AEB3009, AEB3012,
(for model DRT304S) AEB3609, AEB3612 (for model
DRT366S) or a non-combustible material.
Make sure that the cooktop has been properly installed •
and grounded by a qualified installer according to
the accompanying installation instructions. Have the
installer show you the location of the gas shut off valve
and the power cord so that you know where and how
to turn off the gas supply and disconnect power to the
cooktop.
Do not install, repair or replace any part of the cooktop •
unless specifically recommended in the literature
accompanying it. A qualified service technician should
perform all other service.
Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter •
any part of the cooktop unless specifically instructed to
do so in these instructions.
Before performing any type of service, make sure that •
the gas supply is turned off and the power cord to the
cooktop is disconnected.
Only use this cooktop for cooking tasks expected of •
a home appliance as outlined in this manual. This
cooktop is not intended for commercial use.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE •
COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER
USE. After use, make sure these surfaces have had
sufficient time to cool before touching them.
Make sure individuals who use the cooktop are able to •
operate it properly.
Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or •
climb on any part of the cooktop. Doing so may cause
damage, serious injury or death. Do not leave children
alone or unattended in the area around the cooktop.
Do not allow children to play with the controls or touch
other parts of the cooktop.
Do not store items of interest to children on top of or •
above the cooktop. Children could be burned or injured
while climbing on the appliance.
Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a •
power failure. If a power failure occurs while operating
the cooktop, turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby •
food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
Do not cover the burners and grates with anything •
except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers
may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop if a
burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in place.
Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for •
the first time.
Clean and maintain the cooktop regularly as instructed •
in this manual. Keep the entire cooktop, ventilation
filters and ventilation hoods free of grease that could
catch fire.
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, •
plastic and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot
surfaces or gas burners.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the •
cooktop. Do not allow clothing to come into contact
with the cooktop and surrounding areas during and
immediately after use.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.•
Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over •
the cooktop.
If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long •
curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow
over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the cooktop •
unattended when in use.
Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check •
the manufacture’s recommendations before use to
determine if a utensil is suitable for use on a cooktop.
Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are
not suitable for use on a cooktop. Personal injury or
damage may result from improper cookware use.
Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper •
size, material and construction for the particular type
of cooking being done. Utensils need to be large
enough to contain the desired quantity of food without
boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with easy to
hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not
use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that
are too heavy to lift safely.
Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a •
hot cooktop. The steam can cause serious burns or
scalds.
