Operating Your Range Lighting a Burner Each burner control knob has a small diagram next to it to tell you which burner it operates. 1. Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the HIGH position. The knob will illuminate and the igniter for the burner will spark repeatedly until it lights. The spark makes a "clicking" sound. The burner should light within four seconds. 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. If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or if the flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob to the OFF position. Open a window and allow at least two minutes for the gas to dissipate. 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 18. 2. Place the cooking utensil on the grate. 3. Adjust the flame to the level necessary to perform the desired cooking process. IMPORTANT: When the cooktop is cool, the igniter may continue to spark if the control knob is set to the low position. The burner will stop sparking when warm. 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. OFF OFF Burner knob symbols HIGH OR LOW HIGH LOW 9
