IMPORTANT:
• When the cooktop is cool, the igniter may con-
tinue to spark if the burner knob is set to the
LOW position. The burner will stop sparking
when warm.
• The tendency to spark when cold can be reduced
by using the burner at a higher flame for about
60 seconds. After 60 seconds, lower the flame
to cook. The burner will also warm up faster if
cookware is placed its grate.
• The igniter will also spark automatically if the
flame is distorted by a draft or by the house-
hold 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 pres-
ent.
• The flame should burn evenly around the perim-
eter of the burner, except underneath each
grate support finger, where the flame height is
reduced by Dacor’s Smart-Flame feature.
• A normal flame burns steady and blue. Foreign
material in the gas line, especially in new con-
struction, may cause an orange flame during
initial use. The orange color will disappear with
further use. Small yellow tips on the ends of the
flames are normal when using LP gas.
