Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Burners and Igniters
CAUTION
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT: The igniters will not work properly
if the other burner parts or the igniters themselves
are not clean. Dirty or wet igniters may not spark at
all.
After dissembling the burners, check for any dirt or
grime deposited on the individual parts, including
the igniters.
Clean completely around the igniter, including 1.
over and under the edge of the metal top and
porcelain base. A firm toothbrush is also 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.
Examine the burner heads. Remove anything
2.
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 head holes. Since the burner
heads for the SimmerSear™ burners are not
removable, they must be cleaned in place.
Clean all the burner parts, including the burner
3.
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 thor-
oughly before re-assembling them.
Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner
4.
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
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.
