Cleaning is best accomplished with a soft cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing liquid

Knobs and Spill Protector Rings

The control knobs provided with these ranges are designed for ease of use and longevity. The “D” shaped design of the knob shaft ensures proper orientation when re-installing the knob. Beneath each knob, a spill protector ring prevents liquid spills from entering the control panel.

WARNING:

Never block the holes in the control panel below the knobs. This will impair the flow of combustion air and adversely affects burner operation, possibly creating a hazardous condition.

The knobs should be washed regularly in warm, soapy water. Hand dishwashing liquid is excellent for this task. Knobs should be removed by gently pulling them straight off of the valve shafts. The spill protector rings should be cleaned in place. Use caution to avoid introduction of moisture into the control panel. To replace knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening at the bottom of the knob with the “D-shaped” valve shaft, then carefully press the knob onto the valve shaft.

IMPORTANT:

1.Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to removing them from the valve stems.

2.The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs and spill protector rings in place.

3.Do not soak the knobs and spill protector rings in water or place them in the dishwasher.

4.Do not expose the knobs or spill protector rings to direct flame, hot utensils, or other sources of heat.

5.Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators. They could cause permanent damage.

Burner Bases

The brass burner rings spread the flame evenly around the burner perimeters. The burner rings must seat properly in the burner bases to enable proper cooktop operation. To ensure proper seating, five positioning tabs have been placed on the bottom of each burner ring to slide into corresponding notches in the fixed burner base.

Burner Rings

The burner rings are made of brass. To remove the burner ring, first lift off the porcelain burner cap. The burner ring may then be removed from the burner base. Soak the burner ring in a warm solution of hand dishwashing liquid and water, then rinse well with clean water. Dry the burner ring thoroughly before placing it back on the burner base.

Stubborn stains may be removed by applying a metal polishing compound.

Burner Ignitors

Under certain cooking or cleaning conditions, your cooktop ignitors may become coated with or corroded by food deposits, splattered grease or cleaning agents. This condition can cause erratic or continuous sparking. Keeping the ignitors clean and dry will help to reduce this problem.

To avoid unnecessary and costly service calls, the homeowner should perform periodic cleaning of the ignitors.

An Ignitor Cleaning Brush is enclosed for your use in cleaning the cooktop ignitors.

To clean the ignitors:

1.Be sure burners are cool to the touch. Remove the grate, burner cap and burner rings.

2.Brush completely around the ignitor, including over and under the edge of the metal cap and base. Use care while cleaning here. The ignitor is porcelain and can be fragile.

3.DO NOT USE WATER when cleaning the ignitors. If a liquid must be used to clean the ignitor effectively, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

4.After cleaning, reinstall the burner ring, burner cap and grate. Make sure the brass burner ring is properly seated into the burner base.

5.Test the burners. If erratic clicking is still present, make sure the ignitor is completely dry. If the unit still exhibits problems after drying, call your local DACOR Authorized Servicer.

Self-Cleaning

The electric door latch is a convenient safety feature. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the Self-Clean mode. The latch ensures that the oven door cannot be opened while the interior oven temperatures are unsafe to the user.

The oven features an automatic pyrolytic Self-Cleaning cycle to eliminate the need for difficult and time-consuming manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. During this cycle, the oven reaches extreme high temperatures to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the Self-Clean cycle.

The Self-Clean time is variable from 2 to 4 hours to offer flexibility in handling various soil conditions. A 2-hour cycle normally handles a moderately soiled oven, whereas a 4-hour cycle is recommended for a heavily soiled condition. The Self-Clean cycle can also be delayed to start at a later time if desired.

IMPORTANT:

1.It is normal for some smoke to be emitted during the first few Self-Clean cycles.

2.Popping sounds are normal during Self- Clean cycles. These sounds are caused by the expansion and contraction of metal surfaces during heat-up and cool- down.

3.Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn during a Self-Clean cycle, causing permanent damage to the oven.

4.If racks are left in the oven during a Self-Clean cycle, it will affect their ability to slide in and out easily. Polish the rack edges with a soapy steel wool pad, then apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the edges so that the racks will slide more easily.

5.If the door is not closed completely, the automatic door latch will not be able to lock the door when the Self-Clean mode is selected. In this case, “door” will flash in the clock display. If this occurs, press the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad and wait approximately 1 minute. Repeat the Self-Clean steps from the beginning, being certain to close the door completely. Do not try to force the door open after it is locked, as the automatic latch can be damaged.

If you need to unlock the door, turn off the Self-Clean cycle by pressing the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad. After approximately 1 minute, “LOCK” will disappear from the clock display, and the door will unlock. The door will remain locked until the oven temperature falls below 390˚F. Do not select any cooking function until the oven door is unlocked.
