Cleaning the Rangetop (cont.)
Burner Components and Igniters
WARNING
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.
Care and Cleaning
3. Clean all of the burner parts, including the
burner bases, with window cleaner or rubbing
alcohol. Use a cleaning brush with plastic bristles
or a firm toothbrush. When done, rinse the parts
well with clean water. Dry all the parts thor-
oughly before re-assembling them.
4. Reassemble the rangetop 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.

mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as
