Our Contemporary Gas Cooktops are designed to stand out while seamlessly integrating into the countertop. Finished in an easy-to-clean, heat-resistant, diamond-like carbon coating, and equipped with a central dual-stack, sealed brass burner for powerful performance and control.
Q: Does this unit have a true simmer burner?
A: The burners have 2 sets of holes - the top holes are your typical flames that adjust from low to high. When you turn them down below medium, those flames go off and there are little flames that come different little holes - which would en the simmer function.
Q: Does the finish rub off with cleaning?
A: The brass finish rubs off just by using it. Very poor to add burner tops that don't function.

Absolutely hate it and very upset. I had a Dacor range for 20+ years and it was amazing. Cooked perfectly, nice powerful burners, sleek design and super easy to clean. Looked as good as new and cooking hundreds of meals. Moved to a new house and immediately ordered the Dacor cooktop because I felt so loyal to the brand. Had to have my granite cut larger to fit the new cooktop. The item is not what is pictured online. The pictures give the appearance of a brushed stainless surface that is easy to clean. The unit is as shiny as a mirror. It takes longer to clean and polish the unit than it doesn’t to cook the meal. We don’t even want to use the cooktop now because cleanup is such a project. I would never wish this on my worst enemies. I am so upset because I can’t even put my old unit back in because the counter had to be cut for this unit. Also beware that the built in look comes at a price/ had to cut the whole drawer under the unit becasie the unit sits so low and the gas regulator connections hangs so low it will interfere with drawers. Lastly, and this is even more of Dacor’s smoke and mirror game- the beautiful gold burner covers/ they turn brown almost immediately. Cooked one meal and had to replace them with the black covers that also came with the unit. Now this may not be a big deal for some, but some people may want the unit specifically because it is gold- and they looked like trash after one meal and are unusable. My GE Cafe unit was a dream to clean up. My old Dacor was a dream to clean up. I’m sorry but Dacor flat out lied about this unit in the photos and the descriptions.

Very good looking Cooktop. It sits flush to the counter top making it look even better. The cooktop comes with Black porcelain and Brass burner caps. The brass burner and caps will change color after brief use so the brass caps can be used for show, while the porcelain caps can be used for cooking. The Smartthings app is not working so the one star is decreased.
