Cooktop Disassembly
CAUTION
Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK ring
in a dishwasher. They will be damaged.
Dry and re-assemble the burners and grates completely
before use.

When the cooktop is cool, remove the grates from the top of the
cooktop.
Lift the burner caps and burner rings off of the burners. Remove
the burner heads from the crown burners.
Cleaning the Grates, Spill Trays and WOK Ring
The grates, spill tray and WOK ring are coated with a porcelain
finish. For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or non-abrasive
pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the porcelain parts.
If necessary, tough stains may be removed by applying full-
strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose
Cleaner or Formula 409. To minimize wear, use the mildest
cleaner needed to get the surface clean.
For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly abrasive
cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub, Bon Ami, S.O.S. pads
or other soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these cleaners with
extreme care and only on occasion. Extensive use of these
types of abrasives will eventually damage the porcelain enamel.
Cleaning the Burner Components and Igniters
CAUTION
Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is fragile and
can crack or break.
IMPORTANT: The igniter(s) will not work properly if the burner
cap, burner ring, burner base or the igniter itself 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.
Using the igniter cleaning brush that came with your cooktop,
brush completely around the igniter, including over and under
the edge of the metal top and porcelain base. 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 rings. Remove anything stuck in the holes
with a straightened paper clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the ring and cap. Do not distort the shape
of the burner ring holes.
Clean all 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-assembling them.
Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner and grate
assembly instructions starting on page 7. Test the burners
after reassembling them. If the flame is uneven, be sure that
the brass burner ring and porcelain burner cap 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.
