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 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. 1. Clean completely around the igniter, including the metal top and porcelain base. A firm toothbrush is 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. 2. 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 it. Do not distort the shape of the holes. 3. Clean all the burner rings, 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. 4. Clean the burner caps with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. 5. Reassemble the cooktop in the reverse order (see page 6 for detailed instructions). Make sure you line up the notches on the burner rings. 6. Re-connect the power cord and 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.
