Official Dacor electric cooktop parts

Common repair parts for Dacor electric cooktops

• Surface element. The surface element provides the heat for cooking in an area of the cooktop.
• Limiter switch. The limiter switch shuts off the radiant surface element when element temperature approaches a point where the ceramic glass cooktop can be damaged by overheating.
• Burner switch. The burner switch turns on and off the element and controls how much heat the element produces.
• Ceramic glass top. The ceramic glass top houses the radiant surface elements and provides a flat surface to hold cooking containers while you cook.

Cleaning tips for the ceramic glass top on your Dacor electric cooktop

• Use the right cleaner. You probably got a bottle of cleaner with your range. This is the best cleaner to use and the one that the manufacturer recommends.
• Let the glass top cool, then scrape off spills. Gently scrape off burned-on crust from spills using a metal razor blade scraper. Use a new scraper or razor blade each time. Scraping the cooktop with an old razor can scratch the surface. Hold the blade at a 30-degree angle when scraping.
• Polish the cooktop. After removing burned-on crust, shake the bottle of cleaner and then pour some on the cooktop. Rub the surface vigorously using a sponge, soft cloth or paper towel. Don't use steel wool or an abrasive pad. That can scratch the glass. Once you're finished cleaning the cooktop, wipe off all the residue. Buff the cooktop with a paper towel to restore the shine so it looks brand new.
