Cleaning the Burners and Igniters
CAUTION
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT
: The igniters will not work properly
if the burner rings, burner bases or igniters 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.
Using a firm toothbrush, clean completely

igniter. Use care while cleaning because the por-
celain is fragile and can crack or break. Do not

solve grime.

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
