Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Igniters and Other Burner
Components
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 other burner parts or the igniters themselves
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. Clean completely around the igniter, including
over and under the edge of the metal top and
porcelain base. A firm toothbrush is ideal for this
task. Use care while cleaning because the porce-
lain 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 dissolve
grime.
2. Examine the burner heads. 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 head holes.
3. Clean all the burner parts, including the burner
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.
4. Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner
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 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.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces (stainless
steel models only)
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 the Dacor
Stainless Steel Cleaner included with your
cooktop. Use it according to the directions on
the package. You may order additional stain-
less steel cleaner at www.everythingdacor.com.
Order part number A302.
•
You may also clean the stainless steel surfaces
with a mild solution of detergent and warm
water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning the Knobs and Trim Rings
1. Disconnect the cooktop power plug from the
electrical outlet.
2. Turn the knobs to the off position.
3. Grasp each knob and pull straight up to remove.
Do not remove the trim rings, they should be
cleaned in place.
4. Wash the knobs with a solution of warm soapy
water. Dacor recommends hand dishwashing
liquid.
5. Clean the trim rings in place with a solution of
warm soapy water on a soft damp rag. Use cau-
tion to avoid introduction of moisture into the
control panel behind the trim rings.
6. To replace the knobs, align the “D-shaped”
opening on the bottom of the knob with the end
of the valve shaft. Carefully push the knob on
until it stops.
7. Connect the cooktop power plug to the electrical
outlet.
Cleaning the Optional 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.
