Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for purchasing a Dacor Modernist cooktop. We hope it empowers your passion for cooking! We include a set of brass burner caps to enhance the elegance of your cooktop. Because these caps discolor with use due to the influence of heat on the brass, we also include a set of black porcelain burner caps that you can use instead of the brass if you are concerned about the discoloration, which is not covered by our warranty. You may order new burner caps from us as needed.
