Cleaning the Optional Side
Burners
iMPortant
• Cover the side burners with the included stainless
steel burner cover when they are not in use and cool.
Doing so will protect them and help keep them clean.
• the igniter will not work properly if the burner cap,
burner head, burner base or the igniter itself are
not clean. A dirty or wet igniter may not spark at
all. Keep the igniters clean and dry to reduce this
problem and avoid unnecessary service calls.
1. remove the grate and disassemble the side burners
underneath for cleaning as shown. After disassem-
bling them, check for any dirt or grime deposited on
the individual parts, including the igniters.
2. Brush completely around
the igniter, including over
and under the edge of the
metal top and porcelain
base. A stiff toothbrush is
ideal for this task. Use care
while cleaning because
the porcelain igniter base
is fragile and can crack or
break. Do not use water to
clean the igniters. If neces-
sary, use a small amount
of rubbing alcohol to help
dissolve grime.
3. examine the burner caps.
remove anything stuck in
the holes with a straight-
ened paper clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to
scratch or damage it. Do not distort the shape of the
holes.
4. Clean the burner cap and head 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 the parts thoroughly
before re-assembling them.
5. Test the burners after re-assembly. If the flame is
uneven, be sure that the brass burner cap and the
burner head are properly positioned. Check for any
dirt or grime in the burner cap. 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.
