Dacor OBS36 Lighting the Side Burners OB52, OBS52 and OBSB162 Only, Burner Lighting Notes

Operating Your Outdoor Grill

Lighting the Side Burners (OB52, OBS52 and OBSB162 Only)

Each side burner control knob has an icon next to it to tell you which burner it operates.

1.Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clock- wise to the LIGHT/HIGH position. The knob will illuminate and the igniter for the burner will spark (click) repeatedly until it lights. The burner should light within five seconds.

2.If the gas does not ignite after five seconds or if the flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob to the OFF position. Allow at least five minutes for the gas to dissipate.

3.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 23. The burner(s) may also be light manually (see page 12).

4.Place the cooking utensil on the grate.

5.Turn the control knob counter-clockwise to reduce the flame until it covers approximately 1/3 of the uten- sil diameter. Doing so will ensure even heating and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.

caution

Do not put the burner cover over the side burners while hot. Excessive heat may cause permanent discoloration.

Burner Lighting Notes

•Dacor’s automatic re-ignition system will automati- cally ignite an extinguished flame.

•If the igniter does not work for one of the standard burners, it may be lit using the manual lighting instructions. See page 12.

•A normal flame for the standard “U” burners and the side burners is steady and blue in color. Foreign mate- rial in the gas line, especially in new construction, may cause an orange flame during initial operation. It will disappear with further use. Small orange tips on the ends of the flames are normal when using LP gas.

•After a few minutes of use, the optional IR sear burner will glow red, which is normal.

•On side burners, 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.

•When a side burner is cool, the igniter may continue to spark when the knob is set to the low position. The burner will stop sparking when warm. To reduce sparking when cold, operate the burner at a higher setting for about 60 seconds, then 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 auto- matically if the flame is distorted by the wind.
