The burner base, which is permanently attached to the cooktop,
is made of aluminum. The base should be wiped clean using a
soft cloth or sponge that has been lightly dampened with warm
water and hand dishwashing liquid. Thoroughly clean and dry
the ignitors to prevent constant sparking of the reignition system.
Refer to the Burner Ignitors for cleaning tips.
The brass burner rings spread the flame evenly around the burner
perimeters. The burner rings must seat properly in the burner
bases to enable proper cooktop operation. To ensure proper
seating, positioning tabs have been placed on the bottom of each
burner ring to slide into corresponding notches in the fixed burner
base.
To remove the burner ring, first remove the grate, then lift off the
porcelain burner cap. The burner ring may then be removed from
the burner base. Soak the burner ring in a warm solution of hand
dishwashing liquid and water, then rinse well with clean water. Dry
the burner thoroughly before placing it back on the burner base.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying a metal polishing
compound such as Luneta or Flitz. (If you are unable to locate this
type of polishing compound, please phone the DACOR Customer
Service Department for a referral.)
Under certain cooking or cleaning conditions, your cooktop
ignitors may become coated with or corroded by food deposits,
splattered grease or cleaning agents. This condition can cause
erratic or continuous sparking. Keeping the ignitors clean and dry
will help to reduce this problem. To avoid unnecessary and costly
service calls, the homeowner should perform periodic cleaning of
the ignitors. An Ignitor Cleaning Brush is enclosed for your use in
cleaning the cooktop ignitors.
To clean the ignitors:
1. Be sure burners are cool to the touch. Remove the grate,
burner cap and burner rings.
. Brush completely around the ignitor, including over and under
the edge of the metal cap and base. Use care while cleaning
here. The ignitor is porcelain and can be fragile.
3. DO NOT USE WATER when cleaning the ignitors. If a liquid
must be used to clean the ignitor effectively, use only a small
amount of rubbing alcohol.
4. After cleaning, reinstall the burner ring, burner cap and grate.
Make sure the brass burner ring is properly seated into the
burner base.
5. Test the burners. If erratic clicking is still present, make sure
the ignitor is completely dry. If the unit still exhibits problems
after drying, call your local DACOR Authorized Servicer.
1. Your gas grill will develop greasy areas as a normal result of
use. Clean all greasy surfaces with mild soap and a cloth, this
includes heat control channel.
. Do not wash the U-shaped burner in a dishwasher.
3. Clean the surface of the U-shaped burner with soapy water
and a brush. Do not submerge the burner in water. Rinse
under water and dry thoroughly.
4. During cleaning some material may get clogged in the holes
of the gas tubing. Use a paper clip or needle to free all
plugged hole of lose material. Dump all cleaning materials out
from inside the U-burner before reassembling the appliance.

from the valve stems.
2. The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs in
place.
3. Do not soak the knobs in water or place them in the dishwasher.
4. Do not expose the knobs to direct flame, hot utensils, or other
sources of heat.
5. Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators, as
these could cause permanent damage.
