Dacor Preference 36" Renaissance Gas CooktopDACOR INCREASES COOKING SAFETY WITH THE RENAISSANCE GAS COOKTOP

Many have called you uncompromising and even obsessive, but it is purely your passion for cooking which drives you to spend hours perfecting a recipe. It does not matter if you are just serving grilled cheese sandwiches to a handful of eight-year olds or hosting a dinner party for thirty of your fussiest friends, your loved ones deserve the very best, and you want to be sure you give it to them each time. 

Dacor is just as passionate about cooking as you are and is dedicated to developing a wide range of innovative cooking appliances designed to improve life in the kitchen and bring you closer to cooking perfection.  Every Dacor appliance offers extraordinary style and performance details to provide you with gourmet cooking results.

The new Renaissance Gas Cooktop is no different. Designed for greater safety so your family can securely share your passion for cooking, the cooktop continues the brand’s commitment to excellence, boasting industry-leading technology for a first-class cooking experience.

THE DETAILS OF FORM AND FUNCTION

Precision SimmerSear™ Burners offer professional-level accuracy, so every simmer, sear and sauté comes out exactly the way you intended.  With a high heat output of 18,000 BTU, these unique burners are equipped with technology to deliver unsurpassed performance and meet your every demand, so scallops sear evenly and delicate chocolates never scorch. Additionally, the Dual-Stacked Sealed Burners also provide exceptional simmering capabilities to keep your sauces from evaporating while trying to keep them warm.

You will never have to wonder if you left the burner on again. Sleek and modern Illumina™ Burner Controls emit a cool blue glow to indicate when the burners are on.  Each ergonomically designed die-cast metal knob has a clear lens insert that emits the flame-blue light from below with a rubberized grip area for added comfort. The SimmerSafe™ Indicator light is an additional reminder that the cooktop is on although the flame may be barely visible when at its lowest point during simmer.

Each burner on the low-profile cooktop consists of a simple assembly with additional safety features to ensure a safe and secure cooking experience.  The Perma-Flame™ technology automatically reignites the flame if it goes out unexpectedly for uninterrupted cooking. The unique SmartFlame™ feature reduces flame output under each grate finger, protecting the finish and longevity of the grates, so the cooktop retains its stylish appearance.

With a contemporary square design, the extra-wide Continuous Platform Grates provide generous space for any oversized pot, pan or wok without overcrowding the cooking surface. And moving pots from one burner to another is effortless because the design allows you to slide without lifting.  

Available in two sizes, the Renaissance 36” Gas Cooktop features five burners with 12" grates and the 30” model features four burners with 10" grates. Both are compatible with all Dacor Ventilation Systems including the downdraft raised ventilation designs.

The solid stainless steel and solid black finishes coordinate perfectly with the entire suite of Dacor appliances. With a standard wok ring, optional accessories like a searing grill and griddle are available to let you explore your culinary repertoire as well as stainless steel and glass cleaners to ensure your cooktop retains its brilliant appearance. 

Exclusively from Dacor, the stainless steel model features a bead-blasted, scratch resistant one-piece spill basin for extra protection against abrasive cleansers and makes for easy clean up. Just lift the grates, and wipe away grease, water or sauce that may have dripped below.
