Lighting a Burner
Each burner control knob has a small dia-
gram next to it to tell you which burner it
operates.
Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clock-1.
wise to the HIGH position. The knob will illu-
minate and the igniter for the burner will spark
repeatedly until it lights. The spark makes a
“clicking” sound. The burner should light within
four seconds. 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 igniter
continues 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.

form the desired cooking process.
IMPORTANT: When the cooktop is cool, the igniter
may continue to spark if the control knob is set to
the low position. The burner will stop sparking when
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
igniter will also spark automatically if the flame is
distorted by a draft or by the household ventilation
system. Eliminate any drafts or reduce the ventila-
tion blower speed to reduce this type of problem.
