Burner Igniters
IMPORTANT: The igniter will not work properly if the burner
cap, ring and base are not clean.
On occasion, the burner igniters may become coated with
grime or burnt food. Dirty or wet igniters will not spark
properly or continue to spark when flame is present. Keep
the igniters clean and dry to reduce this problem and avoid
unnecessary service calls. Use the igniter cleaning brush
that came with your cooktop.
To clean the igniters:
Turn off power to the cooktop at the power source.
Brush completely around the igniter, including over and
under the edge 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
alcohol to help dissolve grime.
Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner and
grate assembly instructions starting on page 6. Test
the burners after reassembling them. If the flame is
uneven, be sure that the brass burner ring and porcelain
burner cap are properly positioned, then check for any
dirt or grime in the burner ring or on the burner cap. 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

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.

CAUTION
Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in the
dishwasher.
Do not remove the trim rings from the cooktop. Clean
only the outside edges of the trim rings. If you get
moisture inside the trim rings, damage to the knob
lights or other parts of the cooktop can occur.
Installing the cooktop knobs in the wrong position
may result in damage to the optional cooktop griddle.
The knobs for the center burners are marked with the
maximum griddle settings.
To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaners or applicators.

Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of warm soapy
water. Dacor recommends hand dishwashing liquid.
Turn the knobs to the off position to remove them for
cleaning or replacement.
Grasp each knob and pull straight back, off of the valve
shaft.
Clean the outside edges of the trim rings while the knobs
are removed. Wipe them with a soft damp rag.
To replace the knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening on
the back of the knob with the end of the valve shaft.
Carefully push the knob on
until it stops. Make sure you
put the two knobs with the
words “
MAX GRIDDLE” on
the two valve stems closest
to the center.
