Burner Components and Igniters
CAUTION
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT
: The igniters may not spark or work
properly if the burner parts or the igniters them-
selves are not clean and dry.
After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt
or grime deposited on the individual parts, including
the igniters.
Use the included igniter cleaning brush to clean
1.
completely around the igniter, including all of the
metal top and porcelain base. A firm toothbrush
is also ideal for this task. Use care while cleaning
because the porcelain is fragile and can crack or
break. Do not use water to clean the igniters. If
necessary, use a small amount of rubbing alco-
hol to help dissolve grime.
Examine the burner rings. Remove anything
2.
stuck in the holes with a straightened paper
clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch
or damage it. Do not distort the shape of the
burner ring holes.
Clean all the burner parts, including the burner
3.
bases, with window cleaner or rubbing alcohol.
Use a cleaning brush with plastic bristles or a
firm tooth brush. When done, rinse the parts
well with clean water. Dry all the parts thor-
oughly before re-assembling them.
Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner
4.
and grate assembly instructions on page 5.
Test the burners after reassembling them. If
the flame is uneven, be sure that all the burner
parts are properly positioned, then check for any
remaining dirt or grime on the burner parts or
igniter. If erratic sparking (clicking) is still pres-
ent, make sure the igniter is completely dry. If
the unit still exhibits problems after drying, call
your local Dacor Authorized Service Agent.

Care and Cleaning
Grates, Spill Trays, Simmer Plate and
WOK Ring
CAUTION
Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts, simmer
plate or WOK ring in a dishwasher. They will be
damaged.
The grates, the spill tray, simmer plate and WOK
ring are coated with a porcelain finish.
For everyday clean-
•
ing, use a soft cloth
or non-abrasive pad
with warm soapy
water to clean all of
the porcelain parts.
If necessary, tough
•
stains may be removed by applying full-strength
sprays such as Simple Green™, Ajax™ All-
Purpose Cleaner or Formula 409™. To minimize
wear, use the mildest cleaner needed to get the
surface clean.
For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a
•
mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as
Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™, S.O.S.
®
pads or other
soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these cleaners
with extreme care and only on occasion. Exten-
sive use of these types of abrasives will eventu-
ally damage the porcelain enamel.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
CAUTION
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.
