Care and Cleaning Cooktop Cleaning (cont.) Stainless Steel Surfaces Cleaning the Igniters and Other Burner Components WARNING 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. CAUTION To prevent damage, wipe stainless steel surfaces only in the direction of the grain. The outside surfaces of the range are covered with stainless steel. Clean these surfaces with Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner (see page 19 to reorder). Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain. A small amount of baby oil may be applied to stainless steel tops to restore lustre. Brass, Chrome and Copper Surfaces Clean brass, chrome and copper surfaces the same way as stainless steel surfaces (see column one). Door Glass Clean all glass surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Use a mild glass cleaner to remove fingerprints or smears. Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth. 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 coating for easy cleaning. Warm water and liquid detergent 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. IR (Infrared) Broil Burner 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. Porcelain Surfaces WARNING To prevent damage to the broil burner, do not spray the burner or its igniter with any type of cleaner or attempt to scrub them in any manner. The IR broil burner is self-cleaning. To burn off any grime build-up, close the oven door and turn the oven control knob to the BROIL position for about ten minutes. After ten minutes turn the oven off. • The oven interior, the inner side of the oven door and the spill tray are finished in porcelain enamel. • Clean porcelain surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or commercial oven cleaners. You may remove the rack supports to clean the surfaces behind them more easily. 15
