with the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use 

abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel 

surfaces.

• 

Use stainless steel cleaner only on stainless steel 

surfaces.

• 

The spill tray and the panels surrounding it 

are made of high quality stainless steel. 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 stainless steel cleaner at 

www.everythingdacor.com. Order part# 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 Grates and WOK Ring

 CAUtION

• 

DO NOt

 use any of the cleaners listed below to clean 

the burners, igniters or stainless steel surfaces. 

• 

Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK 

ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.

The grates and optional WOK ring are coated with a 

porcelain finish. 

• 

For everyday cleaning, use 

a soft cloth or non-abra-

sive 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 cleaners 

with extreme care and only on occasion. Exten-

sive use of these types of abrasives will eventu-

ally damage the porcelain enamel.
