introduction of moisture into the control panel behind the bezels. To replace knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening at the bottom of the knob with the “D-shaped” valve shaft, then carefully press the knob onto the valve.

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.

Single Burner Bases

The single burner base is permanently attached to the cooktop. The base should be wiped clean using a soft cloth or sponge that has been lightly dampened with warm water and hand dishwashing liquid.

Dual Burner Cross Rings

The dual burner skirts and cross rings are removable from the cooktop. The skirts should be wiped clean using a soft cloth or sponge that has been lightly dampened with warm water and hand dishwashing liquid. The igniters, located in the burner base, should be wiped clean using a soft cloth, or sponge, that has been lightly dampened with warm water and hand dishwashing liquid.

Burner Heads

The brass burner heads spread the flame evenly around the burner perimeters. The burner heads must seat properly in the burner bases or cross rings 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 head, first remove the grate. The burner head 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 or cross ring.

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 Igniters

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

To clean the igniters:

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

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

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

4.After cleaning, reinstall the burner head, head cover, burner cap cover, burner cap and grate. Make sure caps on dual burners are properly seated into the burner base.

5.Test the burners. 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 Servicer.

Burner Covers

For this surface, nonabrasive cleaners should be used. First, try hot, soapy water and the soft side of a sponge to clean the burner covers. Then, proceed to the oven cleaners for tougher stains.

Recommended cleaners are Easy-Off Fume- Free or Mr. Muscle. Spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth and rub onto the part. Leave the cleaner on for about 30 minutes, wipe clean, then rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth.
