Cleaning the Burners and Igniters
CAUTION
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is
fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT: Dirty or wet igniters may not work
properly or may not spark at all. Also the ignit-
ers may not work if any other burner parts are not
clean.
Check for any dirt or grime deposited on the indi-
vidual burner parts, or the igniters.
1. Clean completely around the igniter, including
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.
2. Examine the burner rings and the top of the
SimmerSear burner base. Remove anything
stuck in the slots with a straightened paper clip,
wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch, deform
or damage the ring and base. Do not distort the
shape of the slots. Since the SimmerSear burner
base is not removable, it must be cleaned in
place.
3. Clean all the burner parts, including the Sim-
merSear burner base, 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-assembling them.

4. Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner
and grate assembly instructions on pages 5
and 6. 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.
