Getting To Know Your Cooktop; Other Features - Dacor Preference PGM304-1 Use And Care Manual

Parts of the Cooktop
SimmerSear™ Burners: Dacor 's exclusive pre-
cision burner control system. Model PGM304-1
is equipped with one SimmerSear burner. Model
PGM365-1 is equipped with two. Each SimmerSear
burner has a wider range of heat settings than the
standard burners. The wider range allows you pre-
cise heat control from simmer to sear.
Sealed Burners: Gaskets around the underside of
all burner bases prevent spilled liquids from leaking
into the cooktop's internal parts.
Long Life Grates: The porcelain coated cast iron
grates support the cooking utensils during cooking.
They are removable to allow the area below and
around the burners to be cleaned easily.
Spill Trays: The spill trays catch any food that falls
through the cooktop grates.
Illuminated Burner Control Knobs: Use the
knobs to turn on the burners and adjust the flame
size. The matching knob illuminates when a burner
is on.

cate the heat setting for each burner. The trim ring

Other Features

Flameless Ignition: The cooktop generates a
spark to light a burner when you turn the knob to
ON.
Perma-Flame™: The Perma-Flame instant re-igni-
tion feature automatically re-lights a burner quickly
if it goes out. With Perma-Flame, your cooking
experience is uninterrupted because the flame is re-
ignited at the same level as when it went out.
Smart Flame™: All burners are equipped with
Dacor's Smart Flame technology. It reduces the
temperature under the fingers of the porcelain-
coated cast iron grates. Smart-Flame extends grate
life and protects the finish.
