Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Burners and Igniters
WARNING
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT
: The igniters will not work properly
if the burner rings, burner bases or igniters are not
clean. Dirty or wet igniters may not spark at all.
After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt
or grime deposited on the individual parts, including
the igniters.
1. Using a firm toothbrush, clean completely
around the metal top and porcelain base of the
igniter. Use care while cleaning because the por-
celain is fragile and can crack or break. Do not
use water to clean the igniters. If necessary, use
a small amount of rubbing alcohol to help dis-
solve 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 it. Do not distort the shape of the holes.
3. Clean all the burner rings, 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 thoroughly before re-assembling them.
4. Clean the burner caps with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water.
5. Reassemble the cooktop in the reverse order
(see page 6 for detailed instructions). Make
sure you line up the notches on the burner rings.
6. Re-connect the power cord and 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
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.
