Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain cooktop performance 

and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation. the cleaning 

effort necessary to maintain the cooktop varies according to the 

type and amount of cooking. For example, more frequent cleaning 

is required if the cooktop is used often for frying or other high 

temperature operations.

clean the cooktop thoroughly prior to operating it the first time. 

For initial and everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge lightly 

dampened with a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing 

liquid to clean all components.

ImPortant:

1.  to keep the cooktop looking its best, clean it after every use as 

soon as all components are cool enough to safely touch. also, 

quickly wipe up spills that occur while cooking, being careful 

not to touch any hot areas. spills that remain on hot burner 

components will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed 

to burn on. spills of certain foods, such as tomatoes, citrus 

juices, vinegar, alcohol, and milk, are very harmful if allowed 

to stand for any length of time. therefore, save time while also 

maintaining a new appearance by cleaning regularly and shortly 

after spills occur. 

2.  use the mildest cleaner or procedure available to perform the 

cleaning operation. 

3.  use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush, and 

nylon pad for cleaning. avoid the use of abrasive cleaners such 

as steel wool.

4.  always dry components completely before using the cooktop.
5.  the use of brand names is intended only to indicate a type of 

cleaning agent or cleaning implement. all products listed by 

name must be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s 

recommendations. use of a brand name does not constitute an 

endorsement, nor does omission of a particular brand imply that 

a product is inferior.

ImPortant: (rsD onlY)

the grates, burner caps, and spill-over areas on the cooktop, unlike 

other porcelain enamel appliances in your home, are exposed to 

extremely high temperatures in a matter of seconds. In addition to 

this extreme thermal shock, the grates are subjected to mechanical 

shock when utensils are placed on or slid across them. Finally, 

spillovers introduce foods with high acidity to all of the porcelain 

components. Due to these severe operating conditions, all porcelain 

enamel components on the cooktop will undergo an inevitable 

change in appearance with use.  meticulous care and cleaning will 

slow but not eliminate this natural and expected aging process.

 WarnInG:

1.  Before cleaning the cooktop, ensure that all burners are 

turned off and that all components are cool enough to safely 

touch.

2.  after cleaning, reassemble all components before attempting 

to operate the cooktop.

daily cleaning of the grates and burner caps is best accomplished 

with a soft cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of warm water 

and hand dishwashing liquid. grates and burner caps should not 

be cleaned in the dishwasher.

stubborn stains may be removed by applying full-strength sprays 

such as simple green, ajax all-Purpose cleaner, Formula 409, 

or scotch guard. Metal polishing compounds such as luneta or 

Flitz may also be used. (if you are unable to locate these cleaning 

compounds, please phone the dacOR

®

 customer service 

department for a referral.)

Mildly abrasive cleaners or applicators, such as s.O.s. Pads, 

soap-filled steel wool pads, soft scrub, or Bon-ami may be used 

with extreme care on occasion to remove the most serious stains.

 

exercise caution – extensive use of abrasives will eventually 

damage the porcelain enamel surface.

to avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the 

control panel, activate the “secure” feature. Press and hold the 

“caNcel•secuRe” pad for approximately three seconds. this 

will disable the control panel and allow cleaning the controls 

without accidentally starting any functions. “OFF” will appear in 

the display when the control panel has been secured.

to re-activate the control panel, again push and hold the 

“caNcel•secuRe” pad for three seconds. “OFF” will disappear 

from the display.

ImPortant:

Clean the control panel with a solution of mild detergent and warm 

water. Do not use PertolIum or ChlorIne BaseD Cleaners, 

aBrasIve Cleaners or sCruBBers. theY WIll PermanentlY

treating the porcelain components with care will slow the natural 

deterioration that takes place with cooktop use. Please follow 

these guidelines to keep the porcelain parts looking their best:

1.  do not use utensils having rough bottoms, as this can result in 

permanent damage to the top surfaces of the porcelainized grates.

.  do not drop utensils onto the grates or drag heavy pots across the 

tops of the grates.

3.  set the grates into the locating dimples gently. do not drop the grates 

into place. 

4.  use caution when cooking to avoid spills as much as possible. 

Porcelain is acid-resistant but not acid-proof, so some foods can 

cause permanent damage if allowed to remain on porcelain surfaces.
