Care And Cleaning - Dacor Discovery DYTT305N User Manual

Cleaning the Cooktop Surface
• (Unless otherwise specified) Before cleaning, verify that all
cook zones are sufficiently cool to the touch.
• To avoid dangerous fumes and cooktop damage, use only
the specified cleaners as instructed. Abrasive cleaners/
scrubbers may permanently damage your cooktop.
• When removing cooked-on spills, use only the included
razor-blade scraper or a plastic spatula. Utilizing a knife,
metal spatula, or other such tool may damage the cooktop.
Cleaners To Avoid
These types of cleaners can discolor, scratch, stain, etch,
or otherwise mar the cooktop glass or painted trim:
• Chlorine-/ammonia-based glass cleaners
• Caustic cleaners (e.g., oven cleaners)
• Abrasive pads (e.g., metal or nylon scouring pads,
Scotch Brite pads, SOS pads, certain sponges)
• Powder/liquid cleaners containing chlorine bleach or
abrasives/cleaners
• Flammable liquids (e.g., paint thinner, turpentine,
acetone, rubbing alcohol); some of these may not harm
the glass but are not wise to use on a cooktop.
Performing Special Cleaning Tasks
This section applies to the glass surface of the cooktop:
Sugar, syrup, tomato spills
Remove these WHILE THE COOKTOP SURFACE IS
HOT. Use only a plastic spatula or the included razor blade
scraper. After scraping, let the cooking surface cool, then
use a dry towel/sponge to wipe up the residue.
Using the Scraper to Clean Cooktop Spills
1. Remove the cookware from the surface, and via the
main power button, turn OFF the cooktop.
2. Holding the scraper at a slight angle WITH THE BLADE
ABSOLUTELY FLAT AGAINST THE COOKTOP
SURFACE, push the spill/residue out of the heated
cook zone. (Do not let the corner of the blade scratch/
gouge the cooktop surface.)

Care and Cleaning

WARNING
3. Let the surface cool, and remove any remnants of
residue.
4. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme according to
package instructions. (See also How to Use Dacor
Cooktop Cleaning Creme)
Burned-On Food
1. Lay a moist cloth or paper towel over the soiled area
for 20-30 minutes.
2. Once the char/crust has softened sufficiently, wipe the
area clean and dry.
3. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme to the cooktop.
(See the section below.)
Metal Marks
Cookware/pans will occasionally leave marks. If the
cleaning creme does not remove marks, try a mild cleanser
(e.g., Bon Ami).
1. Apply a light dusting of cleanser to the soiled area, and
gently scrub the area with a wet dishcloth.
2. Once clean, wipe the area with clean water.
3. Dry the cooktop surface, and apply Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Creme.
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 to the affected area.
2. Wipe the area with clean water.
3. Dry the cooktop surface, and apply Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Creme.
Scratches
Surface scratches are unsightly but will not hinder the
appliance's cooking ability.
Because scratches cannot be removed from the cooktop
glass surface, avoid scratches by using clean, smooth
cookware and removing gritty food spills quickly.
Keep the cooktop clean, and regularly apply Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Creme.
Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme
Regularly applying Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème to your
cooktop protects the surface and eases food/stain removal.
1. (Once the cooktop is at room temperature) With a clean,
damp cloth, apply a small amount (±1/4 tsp) of cleaning
creme* to the glass.
(*See Parts and Accessories for ordering details.)
2. With a second clean, damp cloth, remove residual
cleaner.
3. With a clean, dry cloth, wipe the cooktop completely dry.
