Care and Cleaning
WARNING
• Before cleaning the cooktop make sure that all
cooktop elements are off and cool enough to safely
touch.
• Lock the cooktop controls during cleaning to avoid
personal injury. See the
Cooktop Operation
section.
• To avoid dangerous fumes and damage to the
cooktop, use only the cleaners specified. Use them
only as instructed.
• To prevent damage to the glass finish do not use
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may cause
permanent damage.
• Do not remove heavy spills with a sharp object like
a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch
the surfaces.
• Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If using a damp
sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled
sufficiently to prevent steam burns.
Cleaning the Cooktop
Cleaners To Avoid
These types of cleaners can discolor, scratch,
stain, mark, or etch the glass:
• Glass cleaners containing chlorine bleach or
ammonia
• Caustic cleaners, such as oven cleaners
• Abrasive cleaners (i.e.: metal scouring pads,
Scotch Brite, scrubbers, S.O.S. pads)
• Powder or liquid cleaners containing chlorine
bleach or abrasives/cleaners
• Flammable cleaners
Immediately After Use
• If you allow spills to sit on hot burner parts,
they will burn on and be very difficult to clean.
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.
• To keep the cooktop looking and operating its
best, clean it after every use. Wipe the grates,
burner caps and glass cooktop with a damp
sponge while they are still warm. Use a pot-
holder to remove the grates and quickly wipe
up spills on the glass and the burner caps that
occur while cooking. Be careful not to touch
any hot areas directly, especially the burners.
• Dacor recommends periodically applying Dacor
Cooktop Cleaning Creme (not included) to
the glass to help protect it. See Using Dacor
Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Cleaning Tough Stains and Debris
Use these instructions on the glass surface only.
To remove heavy or burned-on spills, first allow
the cooktop to cool.
• Using a razor blade scraper held at a 30°
angle to the cooktop surface, gently scrape off
any burned-on substances. Be careful not to
scratch or gouge the surface.
• Remove any remaining residue by applying the
Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme (see below).
• Wiping the cooktop with a sponge or dish cloth
may leave a film that will discolor the next
time the cooktop gets hot. Remove any discol-
oration using the recommended cleaner when
the cooktop is cool.
Cleaning Burned-on Food
1. Soften by placing a damp cloth or paper towel
over the baked-on spills for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Wipe clean and dry, then apply Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Creme.
Cleaning Water Spots
1. Apply undiluted white vinegar, rinse, and dry.
2. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
Cleaning Scratches
Scratches cannot be removed. Avoid scratches
by removing gritty food spills quickly. Keep the
cooktop clean and apply Dacor Cooktop Clean-
ing Creme often. Surface scratches will not affect
cooking performance.
Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme
Regular use of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme on
the glass surface will protect the surface and make
it easier to remove food debris and water spots.
To clean the cooktop:
• Be sure it is cool to the touch.
• Apply about a 1/4 teaspoon of Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Creme*, to the glass surface with a
lightly dampened clean cloth.
• Use a second clean cloth to remove any
remaining cleaner residue.
• Wipe the cooktop surface with a dry cloth to
completely eliminate any remaining moisture.
To re-order Dacor Cleaning Creme:
Order Dacor part number A300.
