To keep the cooktop looking and operating its best, clean
it after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur
while cooking. Be careful not to touch any hot areas.
Spills that remain on hot burner parts will be very difficult
to clean, especially if allowed to burn on. 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.
In addition, the igniters may not spark or work properly if
the burner parts or the igniters themselves are not clean
and dry.
Cooktop Disassembly
WARNING
• When the cooktop is cool, remove the grates from the
top of the cooktop.
• Disassemble the burners. Lift the burner caps and
burner rings off of the burners.
Cleaning the Burner Components and
WARNING
Igniters
After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt or
grime deposited on the individual parts, including the
igniters.
1. Use a firm tooth brush to gently clean completely
around the igniter, including all of the metal top and
porcelain base. 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 and the top of the
SimmerSear burner head. Remove anything stuck in
the holes and grooves 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
holes or grooves.
3. Clean all of the burner parts, including the burner
bases, 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-assem-
bling them.
4. Reassemble the burners according to the burner and
grate assembly instructions on page 7. Turn on power
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 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.
