Dacor ETT304-1 manual Cooktop Operation, Before Using the Cooktop, Selecting the Proper Cookware

Cooktop Operation

Before Using the Cooktop...

•Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for the first time, according to the Care and Cleaning section.

•During the first uses of the cooktop, you may smell a slight burning odor or see light smoke. These conditions are normal for new glass ceramic cooktops.

•Be certain that the cookware and glass surfaces are clean and dry before you turn on an element and place a pot or pan on the cooktop.

Selecting the Proper Cookware

Utensils will affect the overall safety and performance of cooktop cooking, so it is important to select them carefully. An improperly selected utensil will not cook efficiently or evenly.

For best results: use medium to heavy-gauge metal cookware with flat and smooth bottoms for greatest efficiency. Also choose cookware that closely matches the diameter of the element. Use utensils with tight fitting lids to retain heat, odors and steam.

Operating the Element Controls

Models ETT304-1 and ETT365-2

NOTE: See page 6 for models MET304 and METB365-1.

IMPORTANT: When power to the cooktop is turned on after being interrupted, the cooktop controls take a few seconds to come on. For safety, the cooktop controls come on in locked mode. See Locking and Unlocking the Cooktop Controls to unlock the controls.

• Each element has it’s own ON/OFF key. The shaded part of the diagram on each ON/OFF key indicates the element it controls.

•To turn an element on, press lightly on the ON/OFF ON/OFF key for the desired element, then press either the UP (▲) or DOWN (▼) heat level control key. The element will come on at a setting of “5” as indicated by the lights above the numbers. Press the UP (▲) or DOWN (▼) key repeatedly to change the heat level.

•To activate the outer element on the dual element, first activate the inner element. Press the ON/OFF key for the left front element and the UP (▲) or DOWN (▼) key. Activate the outer element by pressing the outer element key (the circle) on the right side of the element control. Adjust the heat level for the dual element with the UP (▲) and DOWN (▼) keys. The outer heating element cannot be operated alone.

•To turn an element off, press the ON/OFF key for the that element. To turn off all elements at once press the Dacor logo key at the bottom of the cooktop controls rapidly two times. The residual heat indicator lights will remain lit until the corresponding elements are safe to touch.

Locking and Unlocking the Cooktop Controls

To avoid accidentally turning on an element or to make it more difficult for children to operate, activate the cooktop lock feature.

•To make the cooktop controls non-operational, press and hold the Dacor logo key for approximately three seconds. The cooktop will beep three times and the element keys will stop working. The light behind the Dacor logo will come on indicating that the controls are locked.

•To re-activate the controls, push and hold the Dacor logo key again for three seconds. Three beeps will sound and the Dacor logo light will go out when the controls are unlocked.
