Care and Cleaning

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 rings, burner bases or igniters are not 

clean. Dirty or wet igniters may not spark at all.
After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt 

or grime deposited on the individual parts, including 

the igniters.

Clean completely around the igniter, includ-

1. 

ing the metal top and porcelain base. Use the 

included igniter cleaning brush. A firm tooth-

brush 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.
Examine the burner rings. Remove anything 

2. 

stuck in the holes with a straightened paper 

clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch or 

damage it. Do not distort the shape of the holes. 
Clean all the burner rings, with window cleaner 

3. 

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.
Clean the burner caps with a solution of mild 

4. 

detergent and hot water.
Reassemble the cooktop in the reverse order 

5. 

(see page 6 for detailed instructions). Make sure 

you line up the notches on the burner rings.
Re-connect the power cord and test the burners 

6. 

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.
