Cleaning the Cooktop Surface
WARNING
Before cleaning the cooktop make sure that all cooktop
•
elements are off and cool enough to safely touch.
Lock the cooktop controls during cleaning to avoid personal
•
injury. See the
Cooktop Operation
section.
To avoid dangerous fumes and damage to the cooktop,
•
use only the cleaners specified. Use them only as
instructed.
To prevent damage to the glass finish do not use abrasive
•
cleaners or scrubbers. They may cause permanent
damage.
Do not remove heavy spills with a sharp object like a knife
•
or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the surfaces.
Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If using a damp
•
sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled
sufficiently to prevent steam burns.
Proper cleaning is necessary for best cooktop performance
•
and appearance and to ensure safe operation. Clean the
surface using the following procedures after each use.
To clean the cooktop, apply about a ¼ teaspoon of
•
non-abrasive cleaner, such as the supplied Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Creme*, to the ceramic glass surface with a lightly
dampened clean cloth. Use a second clean cloth to remove
any remaining cleaner residue. Wipe the cooktop surface with
a dry cloth to completely eliminate any remaining moisture.
* See the
Parts and Accessories
section below for reorder
information.
To remove heavy or burned-on spills, first allow the cooktop
•
to cool. Using a razor blade scraper held at a 30° angle to the
cooktop surface, gently scrape off any burned-on substances.
Remove any remaining residue by applying the Dacor
Cooktop Cleaning Creme. Be careful not to scratch or gouge
the surface.
Wiping the cooktop with a sponge or dish cloth may leave a
•
film that will discolor during the next heating cycle. Remove
any resulting discoloration using the recommended cleaner
when the cooktop is cool.
