Cleaning the Cooktop Surface
WARNING
• Unless otherwise specified, make sure that all cooking
zones are cool enough to safely touch before cleaning.
• Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If using a damp
sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled to prevent
steam burns.
• To avoid dangerous fumes and damage to the cooktop, use
only the cleaners specified. Use them only as instructed. Do
not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may cause
permanent damage.
• When removing heavy spills, use only the included razor
blade scraper or a plastic spatula. Do not remove heavy
spills with sharp objects like a knife or metal spatula. Using
objects other than those specified may scratch the surfaces.
Cleaners To Avoid
These types of cleaners can discolor, scratch, stain, mark
or etch the glass or painted trim:
• Glass cleaners containing chlorine bleach or ammonia
• Caustic cleaners, such as oven cleaners
• Abrasive cleaners (i.e. metal scouring pads, Scotch
Brite, sponges, S.O.S. pads)
• Powder or liquid cleaners containing chlorine bleach or
abrasives/cleaners
• Flammable cleaners
Special Cleaning Methods
The following applies to the glass surface only:
• Sugar, syrup, tomato spills - REMOVE THESE
TYPES OF SPILLS IMMEDIATELY, WHILE THE
COOKTOP SURFACE IS HOT. USE A PLASTIC
SPATULA OR THE INCLUDED RAZOR BLADE
SCRAPER ONLY. THIS TYPE OF CLEAN-UP IS THE
ONLY ONE THAT IS DONE WHEN THE COOKTOP
SURFACE IS HOT! After scraping, allow the cooking
surface to cool, then use a dry towel or sponge to wipe
up residue.
1. Remove the utensil/
pan from the surface
and turn the control
off. Angle the scraper
slightly and push the
spill or residue off the
heated surface as
shown. Do not scratch
or gouge.
2. Let the surface cool and remove any residue, then
apply the cleaning creme.
• Burned on food
1. Soften using a moist cloth or paper towel over the
soil for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Wipe clean, dry and apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning
Creme (see following section).
• Metal marks – Utensils/pans will occasionally leave
marks. If the cleaning creme does not remove marks
use a mild cleanser (i.e.: Bon Ami) to remove.
Rinse and dry surface and apply Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Creme. NOTE: Magnetic stainless steel
and porcelain coated steel/iron pans are less likely to
leave marks than other types of cookware. Uncoated
cast iron pans are more likely to cause marking on the
glass. Always avoid sliding cookware across the glass.
• Water spots
1. Apply undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry.
2. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
• Scratches
Scratches cannot be removed. Avoid scratches by
using clean pans and removing gritty food spillages
quickly. Keep the cooktop clean and apply Dacor
Cooktop Cleaning Creme often. Surface scratches will
not affect the cooking capability.
How to use Dacor Cooktop Cleaning
Creme
• Regular use of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème on the
glass surface will protect the surface and make it easier
to remove food soil and water spots.
• To clean the cooktop, be sure it is cool, then apply
about 1/4 teaspoon of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning
Creme*, to the ceramic glass surface with a lightly
dampened clean cloth. Use a second clean cloth
to remove any remaining cleaner residue. Wipe the
cooktop surface with a dry cloth to completely eliminate
any remaining moisture.
