Burner Components and Igniters
CAUTION
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT: The igniters may not spark or work
properly if the burner parts or the igniters them-
selves are not clean and dry.
After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt
or grime deposited on the individual parts, including
the igniters.
1. Use a firm toothbrush to clean completely
around the igniter, including all of the metal
top and porcelain base. Use care while cleaning
because the porcelain is fragile and can crack or
break. Do not use water to clean the igniters. If
necessary, use a small amount of rubbing alco-
hol to help dissolve 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 the ring and head. Do not distort the
shape of the burner ring holes.
3. Clean all of the burner parts, including the
burner bases, with window cleaner or rub-
bing 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. 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 sparking (clicking) is still pres-
ent, make sure the igniter is completely dry. If
the unit still exhibits problems after drying, call
your local Dacor Authorized Service Agent.
Care and Cleaning
Grates, Spill Trays and WOK Ring
CAUTION
Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK
ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.
The grates, the spill tray and optional WOK ring are
coated with a porcelain finish.
•
For everyday cleaning,
use a soft cloth or non-
abrasive 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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
CAUTION
Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with
the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive
cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.
•
Use the included Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner
on the stainless steel surfaces. Use it according
to the directions on the package. See page 10
for reorder information.
•
You may also clean stainless steel surfaces with
a mild solution of detergent and warm water.
Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Brass, Chrome and Copper Surfaces
CAUTION
To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or
scrubbers on metal surfaces.
Using a soft cloth, clean metal surfaces with a mild
solution of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry
with a soft, lint-free cloth.
