Stainless Steel Surfaces
WARNING
Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with
the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive
cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.
• Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solu-
tion of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry
with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner
on the stainless steel surfaces. Use it according
to the directions on the package.
Knobs and Trim Rings
WARNING
Never block the holes in the control panel. Doing so
will impair the flow of combustion air and adversely
affect burner operation, possibly creating a hazardous
condition.
To prevent damage, do not expose the knobs to direct
flame, hot utensils or other sources of heat.
• Turn the knobs to the
OFF
position before
removing them for cleaning or replacement.
• To remove the knobs, gently grasp each knob
and pull straight out, off of the valve shaft.
• Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of
warm soapy water. Dacor recommends hand
dishwashing liquid.
• Clean the outside edges of the trim rings while
the knobs are removed. Do not remove the trim
rings. Wipe them with a soft damp rag. Use cau-
tion to avoid getting moisture into the control
panel behind the trim rings.
• To replace the knobs, align
the “D” shaped opening on
the back of the knob with
the end of the valve shaft.
Carefully push the knob on
until it stops. Make sure
you put the two knobs with
the words
MAX GRIDDLE
on the two valve stems
closest to the center.
Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Griddle
Clean the griddle after each use. Wash it thoroughly
in hot soapy water to avoid stains from grease
build-up. The griddle is coated with a non-stick coat-
ing for easy cleaning. Warm water and liquid deter-
gent are all that are needed for cleaning. Remove
stubborn spots with a non-abrasive plastic mesh
pad. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasives or
abrasive cleaners. Use the soft side of a sponge to
scrub it. Dry it with a lint-free cloth.
