Care and Cleaning

IMPORTANT:

1.Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to removing them from the valve stems.

2.The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs in place.

3.Do not soak the knobs in water or place them in the dishwasher.

4.Do not expose the knobs to direct flame, hot utensils, or other sources of heat.

5.Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators, as these could cause permanent damage.

Burner Bases

The burner base, which is permanently attached to the cooktop, is made of aluminum. The base should be wiped clean using a soft cloth or sponge that has been lightly dampened with warm water and hand dishwashing liquid. Thoroughly clean and dry the ignitors to prevent constant sparking of the reignition system. Refer to the Burner Ignitors for cleaning tips.

Burner Rings

The brass burner rings spread the flame evenly around the burner perimeters. The burner rings must seat properly in the burner bases to enable proper cooktop operation. To ensure proper seating, positioning tabs have been placed on the bottom of each burner ring to slide into corresponding notches in the fixed burner base.

To remove the burner ring, first remove the grate, then lift off the porcelain burner cap. The burner ring may then be removed from the burner base. Soak the burner ring in a warm solution of hand dishwashing liquid and water, then rinse well with clean water. Dry the burner thoroughly before placing it back on the burner base.

Stubborn stains may be removed by applying a metal polishing compound such as Luneta or Flitz. (If you are unable to locate this type of polishing compound, please phone the DACOR Customer Service Department for a referral.)

Burner Ignitors

Under certain cooking or cleaning conditions, your cooktop ignitors may become coated with or corroded by food deposits, splattered grease or cleaning agents. This condition can cause erratic or continuous sparking. Keeping the ignitors clean and dry will help to reduce this problem. To avoid unnecessary and costly service calls, the homeowner should perform periodic cleaning of the ignitors. An Ignitor Cleaning Brush is enclosed for your use in cleaning the cooktop ignitors.

To clean the ignitors:

1.Be sure burners are cool to the touch. Remove the grate, burner cap and burner rings.

2.Brush completely around the ignitor, including over and under the edge of the metal cap and base. Use care while cleaning here. The ignitor is porcelain and can be fragile.

3.DO NOT USE WATER when cleaning the ignitors. If a liquid must be used to clean the ignitor effectively, use only a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

4.After cleaning, reinstall the burner ring, burner cap and grate. Make sure the brass burner ring is properly seated into the burner base.

5.Test the burners. If erratic clicking is still present, make sure the ignitor is completely dry. If the unit still exhibits problems after drying, call your local DACOR Authorized Servicer.
