Setting Up Your Cooktop

Burner and Grate Assembly

Assemble the burners and grates only when the cooktop is cool.

Simmer Sear™ Burner
Be sure to match the correct sizes of components with each other.

1. Place the Simmer Sear™ burner ring on the Simmer Sear™ burner base (located on the center of the cooktop).
2. Line up the gaps in the burner ring with the pins on the burner base.
3. Seat the outer Simmer Sear™ burner cap on the  burner ring. Make sure it is centered and fully seated.
4. Place the inner Simmer Sear™ burner cap in the center of the burner base. Seat the cap on the  pins in the center of the burner base.

Standard Burner
Be sure to match the correct sizes of components with each other.

1. Place the burner rings on the burner bases. Match the correct sizes of heads to bases.
2. Line up the hole on the bottom of each burner ring with the ignitor on its matching base
3. Then, put the burner ring on the base. Slightly twist the ring to make sure it is properly seated.
4. Lay the cap over the burner ring. Make sure the cap covers the ridge on the burner below.

• RNCT305G models have the below burner ring and burner cap style on the left rear burner.

Grate Assembly

IMPORTANT: Assemble the grates as instructed below. When installed correctly, the openings in the grates are centered over the burners.

1. Locate the notch on the bottom of each grate.

2. Use the notch on the bottom of each grate to determine where the grate is placed and orientated.
   • The notches underneath the grates fit in the back of the cooktop.
   • The notches on the left and right grates fit in the sides of the cooktop.

3. Gently lower the legs of the grates into their corresponding indentations on the cooktop.
   NOTE: Burner and grate size varies with model.

Selecting the Cookware

• NEVER cover the slots between the burner control knobs and the trim rings on the cooktop. Doing so blocks air flow through the cooktop and may cause  carbon monoxide poisoning. Keep all the slots clear ogresses and grime.
• To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles to a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also, handles should not extend over adjacent burners. Always set cookware gently onto the grates and center them so that they are well-balanced.
• Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish on the grates. Lift cookware to reposition it. Do not drop it on the grate.
• Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage to the coated surfaces on the grates.
• To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level if it extends beyond the bottom of the cookware. A flame that extends up the sides of the pan is potentially dangerous.

For overall safety and best cooktop performance, select the correct cookware for the food being prepared. Improperly selected cookware will not cook food evenly or efficiently.

Use cookware that:

• Has flat, smooth bottoms.
• Is well balanced.
• Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors, and steam inside.

IMPORTANT: Avoid spills as much as possible The porcelain surfaces of the grates, spill trays, and burner caps are acid-resistant but not acid-proof. Some foods can cause permanent damage if allowed to remain on porcelain surfaces.

To Light a Burner:

Refer to the illustrations to the right while following these instructions.

1. Press the knob that controls the burner (refer to the burner indicator icon on the cooktop) and turn it slowly left.
   • Each knob has its own burner indicator.
   • A blue light corresponds to the burner that the knob controls.

2. As you turn the knob left, the igniter will spark until the flame ignites. The igniter will stop sparking when ignition occurs.

3. Once the burner is lit, adjust the flame height by turning the knob.

4. The thickness of the black line under the flame icon corresponds with the flame height.
   • The flame height increases as the knob moves toward from the flame icon and decreases as the knob turns away.

Simmer Sear™ Burners
A Simmer Sear burner is a type of “dual burner” that gives a range of temperature much wider than found in the other burners.

IMPORTANT :

• When the cooktop is cool, the igniter may continue 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 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 10. Dirty or wet igniters will cause constant sparking, even if there is a flame.
• The flame should burn evenly around the rim of the burner, except underneath “grate support fingers”, where the flame height is reduced by Dacor’ s Smart-Flame feature.
• An optimal flame burns steady and blue. Foreign material in the gas line, especially in new construction, may cause an orange flame during initial use. The orange color will disappear withfurther use. Small yellow tips on the ends of the flames are normal when using LP gas.

Cooking Tips

For superior cooking performance and to save energy:

• Boil at the lowest flame height necessary. Food  cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it doe sat a vigorous, rolling boil. A higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture, and causes a loss in food flavor and nutrients.
• Use low or medium flame when cooking in cookware that is a poor conductor of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast iron cooking vessels.
• Reduce the flame until it spreads approximately 1/3 of the underneath area of the cookware to ensure even heating and to 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 will save energy.
• Decor’s Simmer Sear™ 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

Accessories

Wok Ring (Part# AWR4) : This wok ring is a safe, convenient way to stir fry. Place the ring on top of the grate, aligning the wok ring feet with the grate fingers. It will hold most standard-sized woks.
Griddle/Grill (Part# AGDCT12) : The AGDCT12 is an easy-clean reversible griddle on one side, grill on the other, that sits on top of your cooktop. It is great for cooking pancakes, eggs, bacon and various other pan-fried foods. On the reverse side, grill marks make steaks, fillets, and burgers like they were cooked on an outside grill.
See the instructions included with these accessories at www.dacor.com for further information.

Care and Cleaning

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.
If you allow spills to sit on hot burner parts, they will burn and be very difficult to clean. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vinegar, alcohol, and milk can damage the finishes if you allow them to stand for any length of time.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely high temperatures. The grates are under high stress when hot cookware is placed on them.
Also, the cooktop parts are occasionally subjected  to acidic food spill- overs. These severe conditions cause the porcelain enamel parts on your cooktop to undergo a change in appearance over time. If you care for and clean these parts carefully, you will slow down–but not eliminate–the aging process. Disassembly

1. For safety, disconnect the cooktop power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. When the cooktop is cool, remove the grates from the top of the cooktop.
3. Disassemble the burners:

• Simmer Sear™ Burner Disassembly Lift the cap cover and burner cap off of the burner head(s). However, the burner head(s) on the Simmer Sear™ burner(s) are not removable.
• Standard Burner Disassembly Lift the cap covers and burner heads off of the burner bases.

• 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.

• 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.
• Take care when cleaning around the control valve stems. If you get moisture inside the holes in the chassis, damage to the cooktop can occur.
• Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the Grates and Spill Trays

Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or Wok ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.

IMPORTANT : DO NOT use any of the cleaners listed below to clean the burners and igniters. See the facing page for burner and igniter cleaning instructions. Also, if your cooktop is equipped with stainless steel spill trays, see the Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces section for spill tray cleaning instructions.
The grates, the spill tray (on some models) and optional Wok ring are coated with a porcelain finish.

• For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or nonabrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the porcelain parts.
• If necessary, tough stains may be removed by applying full-strength sprays such as Simple Green™, Ajax™ All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula 409™. To minimize wear, use the mildest cleaner needed to get the surface clean.
• For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™, S.O.S.® pads or other soap-filled steel wool pads.
  Use these cleaners carefully and only occasionally. Aggressive or extensive use of these types of abrasives will damage the finish.
  Damage to the finish due to the use of  abrasives is not covered under your warranty.

Removing and Cleaning the Knobs Refer to the below image when removing and cleaning the control knobs and panel underneath.

1. Turn the knobs to the off position to remove the knobs and trim rings for cleaning or replacement.
2. Disconnect the cooktop power plug from the electrical outlet.
3. Grasp each knob and pull straight up to remove.
4. Wash the knobs with liquid dishwashing soap.
5. To replace the knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening on the bottom of the knob with the end of the valve stem. Carefully push the knob until it stops.
6. With dry hands, plug the cooktop power cord into an electrical outlet.

Cleaning the Burners and Igniters

Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is fragile and can crack or break.

IMPORTANT: The igniters will not work properly if the other burner parts or the igniters are not clean.
Dirty or wet igniters may not spark at all.

1. Disassemble the burners, and check for any dirt or grime deposited on the individual parts, including the igniters.

2. Clean completely around the igniter, including over and under the edge of the metal top and porcelain base. A firm toothbrush is ideal for this task.
   Porcelain is fragile and can crack or break.
   Do not use water to clean the igniters. If necessary, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol to help dissolve grime. The alcohol will evaporate.

3. Examine the burner bases. Remove anything stuck in the holes with a straightened paper clip, wire, or needle.
   Be careful not to scratch or damage the ring and head. Do not distort the shape of the burner holes. Because the Simmer Sear™ burner base is  not removable, it must be cleaned in place.

4. Clean all the burner parts, including the burner bases, with window cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Use a cleaning brush with plastic bristles or a firm toothbrush. When done, rinse the parts well with clean water. Dry all the parts thoroughly before reassembling them.

5. Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner and grate assembly instructions .

6. Test the burners after reassembling them. If the flame is uneven, be sure that all the burner parts are properly positioned, then check for any remaining dirt or grime on the burner parts or igniter.

• If erratic clicking still occurs, make sure the igniter is completely dry. If the unit still exhibits problems after drying, call your local Dacor Authorized Service Agent.

Model RNCT305 : a different style burner ring and burner cap are used on the left rear burner.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain. To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.

• Clean only stainless steel surfaces with the Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner included with your cooktop.
• Additional stainless steel cleaner is available at www.everythingdacor.com, part# A302.
• You can also clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution of liquid soap and warm water.  Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
