Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Cooktop Surface

•  Unless otherwise specified, make sure that all cooking 

zones are cool enough to safely touch before cleaning.

•  Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If using a damp 

sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled to prevent 

steam burns.

•  To avoid dangerous fumes and damage to the cooktop, use 

only the cleaners specified. Use them only as instructed. Do 

not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may cause 

permanent damage.

•  When removing heavy spills, use only the included razor 

blade scraper or a plastic spatula. Do not remove heavy 

spills with sharp objects like a knife or metal spatula. Using 

objects other than those specified may scratch the surfaces.

Cleaners To Avoid

These types of cleaners can discolor, scratch, stain, mark 

or etch the glass or painted trim:
•  Glass cleaners containing chlorine bleach or ammonia
•  Caustic cleaners, such as oven cleaners
•  Abrasive cleaners (i.e. metal scouring pads, Scotch 

Brite, sponges, S.O.S. pads)

•  Powder or liquid cleaners containing chlorine bleach or 

abrasives/cleaners

•  Flammable cleaners

Special Cleaning Methods

The following applies to the glass surface only:
•

Sugar, syrup, tomato spills - REMOVE THESE 

TYPES OF SPILLS IMMEDIATELY, WHILE THE 

COOKTOP SURFACE IS HOT. USE A PLASTIC 

SPATULA OR THE INCLUDED RAZOR BLADE 

SCRAPER ONLY. THIS TYPE OF CLEAN-UP IS THE 

ONLY ONE THAT IS DONE WHEN THE COOKTOP 

SURFACE IS HOT! After scraping, allow the cooking 

surface to cool, then use a dry towel or sponge to wipe 

up residue.

1.  Remove the utensil/

pan from the surface 

and turn the control 

off. Angle the scraper 

slightly and push the 

spill or residue off the 

heated surface as 

shown. Do not scratch 

or gouge. 

2.  Let the surface cool and remove any residue, then 

apply the cleaning creme.

•

Burned on food 

1.  Soften using a moist cloth or paper towel over the 

soil for 20 to 30 minutes.

2.  Wipe clean, dry and apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning 

Creme (see following section).

•

Metal marks – Utensils/pans will occasionally leave 

marks. If the cleaning creme does not remove marks 

use a mild cleanser (i.e.: Bon Ami) to remove. 
Rinse and dry surface and apply Dacor Cooktop 

Cleaning Creme. 

NOTE: Magnetic stainless steel 

and porcelain coated steel/iron pans are less likely to 

leave marks than other types of cookware. Uncoated 

cast iron pans are more likely to cause marking on the 

glass. Always avoid sliding cookware across the glass.

•

Water spots 

1.  Apply undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. 
2.  Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.

•

Scratches 
Scratches cannot be removed. Avoid scratches by 

using clean pans and removing gritty food spillages 

quickly. Keep the cooktop clean and apply Dacor 

Cooktop Cleaning Creme often. Surface scratches will 

not affect the cooking capability.

How to use Dacor Cooktop Cleaning 

Creme

•  Regular use of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème on the 

glass surface will protect the surface and make it easier 

to remove food soil and water spots.

•  To clean the cooktop, be sure it is cool, then apply 

about 1/4 teaspoon of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning 

Creme*, to the ceramic glass surface with a lightly 

dampened clean cloth. Use a second clean cloth 

to remove any remaining cleaner residue. Wipe the 

cooktop surface with a dry cloth to completely eliminate 

any remaining moisture.
* See the Parts and Accessories section for reorder 

information.
