Care and Cleaning

important

•Cover the side burners with the included stainless steel burner cover when they are not in use and cool. Doing so will protect them and help keep them clean.

•The igniter will not work properly if the burner cap, burner head, burner base or the igniter itself are not clean. A dirty or wet igniter may not spark at all. Keep the igniters clean and dry to reduce this problem and avoid unnecessary service calls.

1.Remove the grate and disassemble the side burners underneath for cleaning as shown. After disassem- bling them, check for any dirt or grime deposited on the individual parts, including the igniters.

2.Brush completely around the igniter, including over

and under the edge of the metal top and porcelain base. A stiff toothbrush is

ideal for this task. Use care while cleaning because

the porcelain igniter base is fragile and can crack or break. Do not use water to

clean the igniters. If neces- sary, use a small amount

of rubbing alcohol to help dissolve grime.

3. Examine the burner caps. Remove anything stuck in

the holes with a straight-

ened paper clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch or damage it. Do not distort the shape of the holes.

4.Clean the burner cap and head with window cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Use a cleaning brush with plastic bristles or a firm tooth brush. When done, rinse the parts well with clean water. Dry the parts thoroughly before re-assembling them.

5.Test the burners after re-assembly. If the flame is uneven, be sure that the brass burner cap and the burner head are properly positioned. Check for any dirt or grime in the burner cap. 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 Service Agent.

Cleaning the Exterior

Knobs and Trim Rings

caution

•Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in a dishwasher.

•Do not remove the trim rings from the appliance. Clean only the outside edges of the trim rings. If you get moisture inside the trim rings, damage to the electronic components can occur.

•Do not expose the knobs to hot objects, intense heat or direct flame. Damage may result.

•Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of warm soapy water. Dacor recommends hand dishwashing liquid.

•Turn the knobs to the off position to remove them for cleaning or replacement.

•Grasp each knob and pull straight back, off of the valve shaft.

•Clean the outside edges of the trim rings while the knobs are removed. Wipe them with a soft damp rag.

• To replace the knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening on the back of the knob with the end of the valve shaft. Carefully push the knob on until it stops.

Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces, Chrome and Other Metal 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 or other metal surfaces.

•Clean the exterior stainless steel surfaces with the Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner included with your appliance. Use it according to the directions on the package. See the Parts and Accessories section to order additional cleaner.

•You may also use a mild solution of detergent and warm water on stainless steel surfaces. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

•To clean other metal surfaces, use a soft cloth with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
