Cleaning the Exterior

Cleaning the Cooktop

•  After cleaning the burners, reassemble all of the burner parts 

before attempting to operate the cooktop.

•  Always dry the cooktop parts completely before use.
•  Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK ring in 

a dishwasher. They will be damaged.

•  Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is fragile 

and can crack or break.

T

o keep the cooktop looking and operating its best, clean it after 

every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur while cooking. 

Be careful not to touch any hot areas. Spills that remain on hot 

burner parts will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed to 

burn on. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, 

vinegar, alcohol and milk can damage the finishes if you allow 

them to stand for any length of time.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely high tem-

peratures. The grates are put under a lot of stress when hot 

utensils are placed on them. In addition, the cooktop parts are 

occasionally exposed to acidy food spill-overs. These severe 

operating conditions, cause the porcelain enamel parts on the 

cooktop to undergo a change in appearance over time. If you 

care for and clean these parts carefully, you will slow down, but 

not eliminate, the aging process.

•  When the cooktop is cool, remove the grates from the 

top of the range.

•  Lift the burner caps and burner rings off of the burners. 

Remove the burner heads from the SimmerSear burners.

•  The grates, spill tray and WOK ring are coated with a 

porcelain finish. For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or 

non-abrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the 

porcelain parts.

•  If necessary, tough stains may be removed by applying full 

strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose 

Cleaner or Formula 409. To minimize wear, use the mildest 

cleaner needed to get the surface clean.

•  For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly abra-

sive cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub, Bon Ami, 

S.O.S. pads or other soap-filled steel wool pads.

cleaners with extreme care and only on occasion. 

Aggressive or extensive use of these types of abrasives 

will damage the finish. Finish damage due to the use of 
abrasives is not covered under your warranty.

IMPORTANT: The igniter will not work properly if the burner 

cap, burner ring, burner base or the igniter itself are not clean. 

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

deposited on the individual parts, including the igniters.

2.  Use a firm tooth brush to gently clean completely around 

the igniter, including all of the metal top and porcelain base. 

Do not use water to clean the igniters. If necessary, use a 

small amount of rubbing alcohol to help dissolve grime.

3.  Examine the burner rings. Remove anything stuck in the 

holes with a straightened paper clip, wire or needle. Be 

careful not to scratch or damage the ring and cap. Do not 

distort the shape of the burner ring holes.

4.  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 thoroughly 

before re-assembling them.

5.  Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner and grate 

assembly instructions starting on page 8. Test the burn-

ers after reassembling them. When the burners are installed 

properly, the flame will be steady. It will also have a sharp, 

blue inner cone that will vary in length proportional to the 

burner size. To increase grate life the Smart Flame feature 

reduces the flame height under the grate fingers. If the 

flame is uneven, be sure that all the burner parts are prop-

erly positioned, then check for any remaining dirt or grime 

on the burner parts or igniter.
If erratic sparking (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.
