Cleaning and Maintenance

Cooktop Disassembly

caution

•Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.

•Dry and re-assemble the burners and grates completely before use.

•When the cooktop is cool, remove the grates from the top of the cooktop.

•Lift the burner caps and burner rings off of the burners. Remove the burner heads from the crown burners.

Cleaning the Grates, Spill Trays and WOK Ring

•The grates, spill tray and WOK ring are coated with a porcelain finish. For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or non-abrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the porcelain parts.

•If necessary, tough stains may be removed by applying full- strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula 409. To minimize wear, use the mildest cleaner needed to get the surface clean.

•For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub, Bon Ami, S.O.S. pads or other soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these cleaners with extreme care and only on occasion. Extensive use of these types of abrasives will eventually damage the porcelain enamel.

Cleaning the Burner Components and Igniters

caution

Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is fragile and can crack or break.

IMPORTANT: The igniter(s) will not work properly if the burner cap, burner ring, burner base or the igniter itself are not clean. Dirty or wet igniters may not spark at all.

1.After dissembling the burners, check for any dirt or grime deposited on the individual parts, including the igniters.

2.Using the igniter cleaning brush that came with your cooktop, brush completely around the igniter, including over and under the edge of the metal top and porcelain base. Use care while cleaning because the porcelain is fragile and can crack or break. Do not use water to clean the igniters. If necessary, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol to help dissolve grime

3.Examine the burner rings. Remove anything stuck in the holes with a straightened paper clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch or damage the ring and cap. Do not distort the shape of the burner ring holes.

4.Clean all the burner parts, including the burner bases, 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 all the parts thoroughly before re-assembling them.

5.Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner and grate assembly instructions starting on page 7. Test the burners after reassembling them. If the flame is uneven, be sure that the brass burner ring and porcelain burner cap 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 Service Agent.
