Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Igniters and Other Burner Components

caution

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

IMPORTANT: The igniters will not work properly if the burner caps, burner heads, burner bases or the igniters themselves are not clean. Dirty or wet ignit- ers may not spark at all.

After dissembling the burners, check for any dirt or grime deposited on the individual parts, including 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 ideal for this task. Use care while cleaning because the porce- lain 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 heads. Remove anything stuck in the holes with a straightened paper clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch or damage the ring and head. Do not distort the shape of the burner head holes. Since the burner heads for the SimmerSear™ burners are not removable, they must be cleaned in place.

3.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 thor- oughly before re-assembling them.

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.

Cleaning Stainless Steel 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 surfaces.

•Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solu- tion of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

•You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner on the stainless steel surfaces. Use it according to the directions on the package.

Cleaning the Knobs and Trim Rings

1.Turn the knobs to the off position to remove the knobs and trim rings for cleaning or replace- ment.

2.Disconnect the cooktop power plug from the electrical outlet.

3.Grasp each knob and pull straight up to remove.

4.The trim rings may be removed for cleaning if necessary. Take note of the position of each trim ring before removal. Grasp each trim ring and pull straight up to remove.
