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 ventilation blower speed to reduce this type of problem. • To keep the burners operating properly, keep the burner igniters, burner rings and burner caps clean and dry. See Care and Cleaning starting on page 9. Dirty or wet igniters will result in constant sparking, even if there is a flame present. 7 8 Operating Your Cooktop IMPORTANT! Put the griddle over the center burners only! Do not turn burners higher than the MAX GRIDDLE setting when using the griddle! Put grease trap toward back Cooking Tips For superior cooking performance and to save energy: • Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the desired cooking process. Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a vigorous, rolling boil. A higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture and causes a loss in food flavor and nutrients. • Dacor’s SimmerSear feature allows you precision control of the flame. The larger the burner size, the wider the range of control. See page 4 for the heat ranges of the different burners. Using the Griddle 1. Before using the cooktop 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 cooktop cool to the touch, put the griddle over the top of the middle grate on the cooktop. The middle grate has burners of the same size in the front and back for even heating. 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. 3. Turn the knob for the center front burner 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! • Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils made of materials that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic and cast iron. Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter to ensure even heating and reduce scorching. • Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times. • Use a timer rather than repeatedly removing the lid to check food. Doing so will decrease cooking time and save energy. • Thaw foods prior to cooking to reduce cooking time. 4. Repeat step 3 for the center rear burner. IMPORTANT: • During cooking be careful with metal utensils on the surface because they can scratch the nonstick coating. • Clean the griddle after each use. See page 11 for instructions. 9 Care and Cleaning WARNING • Clean only the parts of the cooktop listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified. • To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your cooktop’s surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in this manual. • To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners and make sure that all parts are cool before cleaning. DO NOT turn the burners on during cleaning. • Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. Steam could penetrate the electrical components and cause a short circuit. After cleaning the burners, reassemble all of the burner parts before attempting to operate the cooktop. • After cleaning the burners, always dry and reassemble the cooktop parts completely before use. See page 5. caution • Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your cooktop’s surfaces. • To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads, on any part of the cooktop unless instructed to do so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush or nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your cooktop. • Do not remove the trim rings from the cooktop. Clean only the outside edges of the trim rings. If you get moisture inside the trim rings, damage to the knob lights or other parts of the cooktop can occur. • Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in the dishwasher. • Installing the cooktop knobs in the wrong position may result in damage to the optional cooktop griddle. The knobs for the center burners are marked with the maximum griddle settings. Cleaning the Cooktop To keep the cooktop looking and operating its best, clean it after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur while cooking. Be careful not to touch any hot areas. Spills that remain on hot burner parts will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed to burn on. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus ju...
