Burner Components and Igniters
WARNING
• Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
• Do not clean the burner parts in a dishwasher. They
will be damaged.
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.
1. Use a firm toothbrush to clean completely
around the igniter, including all of the metal top
and porcelain base. Do not use water to clean
the igniters. If necessary, use a small amount of
rubbing alcohol to help dissolve grime.
2. Examine the burner rings. Remove anything
stuck in the holes with a straightened paper
clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the ring and head. Do not distort the
shape of the burner ring holes.
Care and Cleaning
3. Clean all of the burner parts, including the
burner bases, with window cleaner or rubbing
alcohol. Use a cleaning brush with plastic bristles
or a firm toothbrush. Then, rinse the parts well
with clean water. Dry all the parts thoroughly
before reassembling them.
4. Reassemble according to the burner and grate
assembly instructions on page 5. Test the burn-
ers after reassembling them. When the burners
are installed properly,
the flame will be steady.
It will also have a sharp,
blue inner cone that will
vary in length propor-
tional to the burner size.
To increase grate life
the Smart Flame feature
reduces the flame height
under the grate fingers.
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 present, make
sure the igniter is completely dry. If the unit still
exhibits problems after drying, call your local
Dacor Authorized Service Agent.
Grates, Spill Tray and WOK Ring
WARNING
Do not clean the rangetop grates or WOK ring in a
dishwasher. They will be damaged.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use any of the cleaners
listed below to clean the burners and igniters.
The grates, the spill tray and optional WOK ring are
coated with a porcelain finish.
• For everyday cleaning, 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 clean-
ers with extreme care and only on occa-
sion. Aggressive or extensive use of these
types of abrasives will damage the finish. Finish
damage due to the use of abrasives is not
covered under your warranty.
