Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Burners and Igniters
caution
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT: Dirty or wet igniters may not work properly or may not spark at all. Also the igniters may not work if any other burner parts are not clean.
Check for any dirt or grime deposited on the individual burner parts, or the igniters.
1.Clean completely around the igniter, including over and under the edge of the metal top and porcelain base. A firm toothbrush is also ideal for this task. 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.

2.Examine the burner rings and the top of the SimmerSear burner base. Remove anything stuck in the slots with a straightened paper clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch, deform or damage the ring and base. Do not distort the shape of the slots. Since the SimmerSear burner base is not removable, it must be cleaned in place.
3.Clean all the burner parts, including the Sim- merSear burner base, 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
4.Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner and grate assembly instructions on page 5.
Test the burners after reassembling them. If the flame is uneven, be sure that all the burner parts 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.
