Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Igniters and Other Burner 

Components

Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is 

fragile and can crack or break.

IMPORTANT: The igniters will not work properly 

if the other burner parts or the igniters themselves 

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, including 

1. 

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.

Examine the burner heads. Remove anything 

2. 

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.
Clean all the burner parts, including the burner 

3. 

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.
Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner 

4. 

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.

steel models only)

the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive 

cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.

Turn the knobs to the off position.

outlet.

Cleaning the Optional Griddle

Clean the griddle after each use. Wash it thoroughly 

in hot soapy water to avoid stains from grease 

build-up. The griddle is coated with a non-stick coat-

ing for easy cleaning. Warm water and liquid deter-

gent are all that are needed for cleaning. Remove 

stubborn spots with a non-abrasive plastic mesh 

pad. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasives or 

abrasive cleaners. Use the soft side of a sponge to 

scrub it. Dry it with a lint-free cloth.
