Burner Components and Igniters
WARNING
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT: The igniters may not spark or work
properly if the burner parts or the igniters them-
selves are not clean and dry.
After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt
or grime deposited on the individual parts, including
the igniters.
1. Use a firm toothbrush to clean completely
around the igniter, including all of the metal
top and porcelain base. 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 alco-
hol 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 the ring and head. Do not distort the
shape of the burner ring holes.
3. Clean all of the burner parts, including the
burner bases, with window cleaner or rub-
bing 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. Reassemble according to the burner 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 remain-
ing 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.
Care and Cleaning
Grates, Spill Trays and WOK Ring
WARNING
Do not clean the rangetop grates, burner parts or WOK
ring in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.
The grates, the spill tray and optional 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 abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as
Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™, S.O.S.
®
pads or other
soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these clean-
ers with extreme care and only on occa-
sion. 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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
WARNING
Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with
the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive
cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.
• Use the included Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner
on the stainless steel surfaces. Use it according
to the directions on the package. See page 10
for reorder information.
• You may also clean stainless steel surfaces with
a mild solution of detergent and warm water.
Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Brass, Chrome and Copper Surfaces

To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or
scrubbers on metal surfaces.
Using a soft cloth, clean metal surfaces with a mild
