The Important Safety Instructions and warnings in
these instructions are not meant to cover all possible
problems and conditions that can occur. Use common
sense and caution when installing, maintaining or oper-
ating this or any other appliance.
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Always contact the Dacor Customer Service Team
about problems and conditions that you don’t under-
stand. See Customer Service Information.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be
burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.

WARNING – NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages
on the cooktop and cooktop chassis. Doing so blocks
air flow through the cooktop and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard. Keep all slots, holes and
passages clear of grease and grime.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
If you cannot contact the gas supplier, call the fire
department.
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some
by-products that are on the list of substances which
are known by the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. California law requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances. To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the use and care
manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when
cooking with gas.
DANGER
IMPORTANT: Do not store or use combustible, flammable
or explosive vapors and liquids (such as gasoline) on or
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Also keep
items that could explode, such as aerosol cans, away
from the cooktop. Do not store flammable or explosive
materials in adjacent cabinets or areas (including above
and below the cooktop).

Read the accompanying use and care manual com-
pletely before operating this appliance.
•
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area
around the cooktop. Do not allow children to play
with the controls or touch other parts of the cooktop.
Do not store items of interest to children on top of
or above the cooktop. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on the appliance.
Keep packaging materials away from children. Plastic
sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
If you receive a damaged product, immediately con-
tact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a
damaged appliance.
•
•
Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for
the first time. Make sure that all the cooktop parts are
dry before lighting a burner.
•
This cooktop must be properly installed and grounded
by a qualified installer according to these installation
instructions prior to use. The installer should show the
customer the location of the gas shut off valve and
the power cord so that they know where and how to
turn off the gas supply and disconnect power to the
cooktop.

three-prong electrical outlet.
It is the responsibility of the
customer to make sure the proper type of outlet is
installed. Do not under any circumstances:
Only use the cooktop for cookinexpected of a
home appliance as outlined in the lrature accompa-
nying it. This cooktop is not intended for commercial
or laboratory use.

Do not operate this appliance if the power cord is
damaged.
Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing
them from the valve stems.
•
Cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
To avoid a fire hazard, do not hang flammable or heat
sensitive objects over the cooktop.

Gas Supply Requirements
•
Be certain that the cooktop being installed is correct for
the gas service being provided (natural gas or LP gas).
Also, if operating the cooktop at an altitude above 4000
ft. (1219 m) make sure it is equipped for high altitude
operation.
WARNING
To prevent an electric shock hazard, the power supply
must meet the specifications stated below. It is the own-
er’s responsibility to make sure that the electrical service
meets electrical requirements and that the electrical outlet
has been properly installed by a licensed electrician.
•
•
•
Units equipped for LP operation have “LP” in the
model number listed on the product data label. See the
Chassis Bottom Diagram for label location.
•
•
The cooktop is supplied with a factory installed, 42
inch long, power cord with a three-prong, grounding
electrical plug. It is connected to the chassis at the bot-
tom right rear corner (see Chassis Bottom Diagram
below). It must be connected to a dedicated, grounded
three-prong electrical outlet installed by a licensed elec-
trician.
Units equipped for high altitude operation have an “H”
at the end of the model number listed on the product
data label.
Check your local building codes for the proper method
of installation. In the absence of local codes, this
appliance shoulnstalled in accordance with the
National Fuel ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
The electrical installation, including minimum supply
wire size and grounding, must be done in accordance
with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and local
codes and ordinances. A copy of this standard may be

1. Remove the burner rings, burner caps and grates from
their shipping packages.
2. Assemble the burners as shown. Match the burner
parts to the correct size and type of burner. When
installing the burner components, make sure they are
centered. Twist each piece back and forth slightly until
it drops completely into place. The burners will not
operate properly unless all of the burner pieces are
properly seated. On model DCT305, the left rear burner
cap has tabs on the bottom that fit into the slots on the
top of the burner ring.

IMPORTANT: Install the grates as instructed below for
longest life. When installed properly, the openings in the
grates are centered over the burners.
3. Locate the notch on the bottom of each grate.
4. Use the notch on the bottom of each grate to determine
location and orientation. See diagram below. The notch
on the bottom of each grate goes towards the back of
the cooktop. The notches on the left and right grates go
toward the outside.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: If the cooktop does not operate properly, follow
these troubleshooting steps:
Verifying Proper Operation
•
•
Verify that power and gas are supplied to the cooktop.
WARNING
Check to make sure that the power plug is connected
to the electrical outlet and that power is turned on at
the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.
•
Make sure that power to the electrical outlet is turned
off at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box and that the
gas is turned off at the gas supply valve before pro-
ceeding.
•
•
Check to make sure that the burner parts are properly
seated.
•
The cooktop must be properly grounded at all times
when electrical power is applied.
If the burner continues to spark after ignition without
stopping, have a licensed electrician check the electri-
cal outlet for proper grounding or reversed polarity.
Prior to operating the cooktop, read the accompanying use
and care manual carefully.
•
•
Repeat the above burner ignition test.
1. If the control knobs are not already in place, install the
SimmerSear knob (see knob diagrams, bottom right) on
the center valve stem. The remaining knobs install on
the valve stems to the right and left of the center knob.
If the appliance still does not work, contact Dacor
Distinctive Service at (877) 337-3226. Do not attempt
to repair the appe yourself. If you need service, be
sure to have tand serial numbers available
when you ccover for location.
2. Make sure all the cooktop burner controls are in the
OFF position.

tion. The corresponding burner indicator light
should come on. Verify that the burner igniter
sparks, then return the knob to the OFF

seconds, turn the knob to the off position. Wait for at
least 5 minutes to allow any gas to dissipate, then
repeat the test.
