Clean these surfaces with the provided Elco Stainless Steel
Cleaner. Rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
IMPORTANT:
If commercially available stainless steel cleaners are used, it is
important to read the labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine
is a corrosive substance. If these compounds are present, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain.
Clean this surface with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.
Rinse with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or commercial oven
cleaners.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying full-strength sprays
such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409, or
Scotch Guard.
IMPORTANT:
1. Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners or applicators on the cooktop.
3. Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a
knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the cooktop.
The control knobs provided with this cooktop are designed for ease
of use and longevity. The “D” shaped design of the knob shaft
ensures proper orientation when re-installing the knob.
IMPORTANT:
Never block the holes in the control panel beneath the knobs, because
this will impair the flow of combustion air and adversely affect burner
operation, possibly creating a hazardous condition.
The knobs are made of a composite plastic. These components
should be washed regularly in warm, soapy water. Hand
dishwashing liquid is excellent for this task. Knobs should be
removed by gently pulling them straight out and off of the valve
shafts. The spill protectors should be cleaned in place. Use caution
to avoid introduction of moisture into the control panel behind the
bezels. To replace knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening at the
bottom of the knob with the “D-shaped” valve shaft, then carefully
press the knob onto the valve.

The single burner base is permanently attached to the cooktop.
The base should be wiped clean using a soft cloth or sponge
that has been lightly dampened with warm water and hand
dishwashing liquid.
The brass burner heads spread the flame evenly around the
burner perimeters.
To remove the burner head, first remove the grate. The burner
head may then be removed from the burner base. Soak the
burner ring in a warm solution of hand dishwashing liquid and
water, then rinse well with clean water. Dry the burner thoroughly
before placing it back on the burner base or cross ring.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying a metal polishing
compound such as Luneta or Flitz. (If you are unable to locate this
type of polishing compound, please phone the DACOR Customer
Service Department for a referral.)
Under certain cooking or cleaning conditions, your cooktop
igniters may become coated with or corroded by food deposits,
splattered grease or cleaning agents. This condition can cause
erratic or continuous sparking. Keeping the igniters clean and dry
will help to reduce this problem. To avoid unnecessary and costly
service calls, the homeowner should perform periodic cleaning of
the igniters. An Igniter Cleaning Brush is enclosed for your use in
cleaning the cooktop igniters.
To clean the igniters:
. Be sure burners are cool to the touch. Remove the grate, burner cap
and burner heads.
. Brush completely around the igniter, including over and under the
edge of the metal cap and base. Use care while cleaning here. Parts
of the igniter are porcelain and can be fragile.
3. DO NOT USE WATER when cleaning the igniters. If a liquid must
be used to clean the igniter effectively, use only a small amount of
rubbing alcohol.
4. After cleaning, reinstall the burner head, head cover, burner cap
cover, burner cap and grate. Make sure caps on dual burners are
properly seated into the burner base.
5. Test the burners. If erratic clicking is still present, make sure the
igniter is completely dry. If the unit still exhibits problems after drying,
call your local DACOR Authorized Servicer.
The dual burner skirts and cross rings are removable from the
cooktop. The skirts should be wiped clean using a soft cloth or
sponge that has been lightly dampened with warm water and
hand dishwashing liquid. The igniters, located in the burner base,
should be wiped clean using a soft cloth, or sponge, that has
been lightly dampened with warm water and hand dishwashing
liquid.
For this surface, nonabrasive cleaners should be used. First, try
hot, soapy water and the soft side of a sponge to clean the burner
covers. Then, proceed to the oven cleaners for tougher stains.
Recommended cleaners are Easy-Off Fume-Free or Mr. Muscle.
Spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth and rub onto the part. Leave
the cleaner on for about 30 minutes, wipe clean, then rinse
thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth.
IMPORTANT:
After cleaning the burner assemblies, re-install the burner
components according to the diagrams on page 2. When installing
the burner components, twist each piece back and forth until it drops
completely into place. The burners will not operate properly unless
all of the burner pieces are properly seated.

Daily cleaning of the grates, burner covers, burner heads, and
burner caps is best accomplished with a soft cloth or sponge
dampened in a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing
liquid. Grates, burner covers, burner heads, and burner caps
should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying full-strength sprays
such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409,
or Scotch Guard. Metal polishing compounds such as Luneta or
Flitz may also be used. (If you are unable to locate these cleaning
compounds, please phone the DACOR Customer Service
Department for a referral.)
Mildly abrasive cleaners or applicators, such as S.O.S. Pads,
soap-filled steel wool pads, Soft Scrub, or Bon-Ami may be used
with extreme care on occasion to remove the most serious stains.
Exercise caution – extensive use of abrasives will eventually
damage the porcelain enamel surface.
IMPORTANT:
1.
Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to removing them from the
valve stems.
2.
The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs in place.
3.
Do not soak the knobs in water or place them in the dishwasher.
4.
Do not expose the knobs to direct flame, hot utensils, or other sources of
heat.
5.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators, as these could
cause permanent damage.
