Anleitung Zusammenfassung
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. • 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 8. Dirty or wet igniters will result in constant sparking, even if there is a flame present. • 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. A normal flame is steady and blue in color. Foreign material in the gas line, especially in new construction, may cause an orange flame during initial operation. This will disappear with further use. Small yellow tips on the ends of the flames are normal when using LP gas. For superior cooking performance and to save energy: • Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the desired cooking process. Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at 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 heights when cooking in utensils that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast iron cooking vessels. Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter to ensure even heating and 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 save energy. • Thaw foods prior to cooking to reduce cooking time. • Dacor’s SimmerSear 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. Available Accessories Wok Ring (Dacor Model# AWR4): The wok ring is a safe, convenient way to stir fry. Just place it on top of the grate, aligning the wok ring feet with the grate fingers. It will hold most standard sized woks. Griddle (Dacor Model# AG13): The AG13 easy clean griddle is coated with a non-stick finish. It is good for cooking pancakes, eggs and various other foods. It is designed to sit on top of your cooktop burner grates. A maximum setting of medium is recommended to avoid damage to the cooktop. See the instructions included with griddle for further information. 7 8 Care and Cleaning WARNING • 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. • Always dry and reassemble the cooktop parts completely before use. See page 5. caution • 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 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 on 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 utensils are placed on them. Also, the cooktop parts are occasionally exposed to acidic food spill-overs. These severe operating conditions, cause the porcelain enamel parts on your cooktop to undergo a change in appearance over time. If you care for and clean th...
