Stainless Steel Surfaces

 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 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.

Knobs and Trim Rings

 WARNING

Never block the holes in the control panel. Doing so 

will impair the flow of combustion air and adversely 

affect burner operation, possibly creating a hazardous 

condition.
To prevent damage, do not expose the knobs to direct 

flame, hot utensils or other sources of heat. 

•  Turn the knobs to the OFF position before 

removing them for cleaning or replacement.

•  To remove the knobs, gently grasp each knob  

and pull straight out, off of the valve shaft. 

•  Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of 

warm soapy water. Dacor recommends hand 

dishwashing liquid.

•  Clean the outside edges of the trim rings while 

the knobs are removed. Do not remove the trim 

rings. Wipe them with a soft damp rag. Use cau-

tion to avoid getting moisture into the control 

panel behind the trim rings.

•  To replace the knobs, align 

the “D” shaped opening on 

the back of the knob with 

the end of the valve shaft. 

Carefully push the knob on 

until it stops. Make sure 

you put the two knobs with 

the words MAX GRIDDLE 

on the two valve stems 

closest to the center.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the 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.
