Operating the Cooktop

Cooktop Tips:

•Dacor’s SimmerSear feature allows you precision control of the flame. The larger the burner size, the wider the range of control. See page 6 for the heat ranges of the different burners.

•Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a vigorous, rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than necessary wastes energy and cooks moisture, food flavor, and nutrients out of the food.

•Use a low or medium flame when cooking with utensils that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, or cast iron. Reduce the flame until it covers approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter. Doing so will ensure even heating and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.

Using the Griddle

For best results, allow the griddle to preheat for about 10 minutes before you start to cook.

1.Before using the griddle for the first time, wash it in hot, soapy water. Rinse it and allow it to dry thoroughly.

2.With all of the burners off and the range cool to the touch, put the griddle over the top of the right grate on the range*. The grease trap goes toward the back of the range. Fit the tabs that stick out of the bottom of the feet into the inside corners of the grate. When it is correctly installed, the griddle will rest securely about 1/2” above the top surface of the grate. It may rock slightly, which is normal.

3.Turn the right front burner knob to the light (high) position. Once lit, turn the knob to the MAX GRIDDLE position, or lower if desired. DO NOT keep the burner knobs higher than the MAX GRIDDLE setting after they are lit!

4.Repeat step 3 for the right rear burner knob.

During cooking be careful with metal utensils on the surface because they can scratch the non-stick coating.

Clean the griddle after each use. See page 27 for instructions.

*The right grate has burners of the same size in the front and back for even heating.

Line up griddle on corners of grate

Grease trap toward back

Do not turn burners higher than the “MAX GRIDDLE” setting when using the griddle!

Put the griddle over the right burners only!
