Installation Instructions Verifying Proper Operation warning • Make sure that power to the electrical outlet is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box and that the gas is turned off at the gas supply valve before proceeding. • The cooktop must be properly grounded at all times when electrical power is applied. Prior to operating the cooktop, read the accompanying use and care manual carefully. 1. Make sure all the cooktop burner controls are in the OFF position. 2. Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet. 3. Turn on power to the electrical outlet at the circuit breaker or fuse box. 4. Depress and rotate one burner control knob at a time slowly counterclockwise to the HIGH position. Verify that the associated burner igniter sparks, then return the knob to the OFF position. Repeat for all of the remaining control knobs. 5. Turn on the gas supply valve. 6. Perform the following ignition test for all of the burners: • Press and turn the control knob slowly counterclockwise to the HIGH position. Only the selected burner will spark. It will take approximately four seconds for the burner to ignite, at which time the igniter will stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within four seconds, turn off the knob, wait for at least two minutes to allow any gas to dissipate, then repeat the test. • Once the burner lights, the control knob can be rotated counterclockwise from HIGH to LOW to adjust the flame height progressively. On dual burners turn the control knob to the simmer setting and make sure the low level flame can be adjusted. • When the unit is installed properly, the flame will be steady. It will also have a sharp, blue inner cone that will vary in length proportional to the burner size. The flame will be reduced by the Smart Flame™ fea- ture under the grate fingers to increase grate life. Normal Flame Appearance NOTE: If the cooktop does not operate properly, follow these troubleshooting steps: • Verify that power and gas are supplied to the cooktop. • Check to make sure that the power plug is connected to the electrical outlet and that power is turned on at the circuit breaker or fuse box. • Check to make sure that the burners are properly seated. • If the burner continues to spark after ignition without stopping, have a licensed electrician check the electrical outlet for proper grounding or reversed polarity. • Repeat the above burner ignition test. If the appliance still does not work, do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Contact the Dacor Customer Service Team at (800) 793-0093.
