Self-Cleaning Tips

•If any soil remains in the oven after the self-clean cycle is done, you may repeat the cycle if you want.

•Self-clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. Doing so will make the self-clean cycle work better and reduce smoke and odors.

Setting the Oven to Self-Clean at a Later Time

To set the oven to self-clean at a later time:

1.Prepare the oven for self-cleaning as instructed on page 23. Observe all safety precautions and remove all items listed from inside the oven. Clean the door gasket and around the door as instructed.

2.Close the oven door.

3.Press the START TIME key.

4.Enter the desired start time. For example, press 1-2-3-0 for 12:30. You may enter a time up to 11 hours and 59 minutes ahead of the present time.

5.Press START.

6.Press the SELF-CLEANkey.

7.Press START.

8.When you press START, “Delay” will appear on the display and the oven door will lock. The oven will start to self-clean at the time you have selected.

General Cleaning

caution

Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush, or nylon pad for cleaning the surfaces of your range. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners such as steel wool.

Knobs and Trim Rings

caution

•Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in the dishwasher.

•Do not remove the trim rings from the range. Clean only the outside edges of the trim rings. If you get moisture inside the trim rings, damage to the knob lights or other parts of the range can occur.

•Installing the range knobs in the wrong position may result in damage to the griddle included with the range. The knobs for the right burners are marked with the maximum griddle settings.

•To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators.

•Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of warm soapy water. Dacor recommends hand dishwashing liquid.

•Turn the knobs to the off position to remove them for cleaning or replacement.

•Grasp each knob and pull straight back, off of the valve shaft.

•Clean the outside edges of the trim rings while the knobs are removed. Wipe them with a soft damp rag.

•To replace the knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening on the back of the knob with the end of the valve shaft. Carefully push the knob on until it stops. Make sure you put the two knobs with the words “MAX GRIDDLE” on the right burner valve stems.

Display When Self-Clean Delay is ON

Notes:

•If you want the display to return to the clock, you may push the CLOCK key.

•If the clock is showing on the display, you may push the START TIME key to check the self-clean start time.

•When self-clean starts, “Delay” will disappear and “ON” will appear on the display.

To cancel the time delayed self-clean cycle:

•Press CANCEL/SECURE.

•If the self-clean process has not started, allow about a minute for the door to unlock before attempting to use the oven.

•If the oven is in the middle of the self-clean process, the door will unlock when the oven has cooled down enough to open safely. The oven will still be hot.

Cleaning the Cooktop

To keep the cooktop looking and operating its best, clean it after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur while cooking. Be careful not to touch any hot areas. Spills that remain on hot burner parts will be very difficult to clean, especially if allowed to burn on. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vinegar, alcohol and milk can damage the finishes if you allow them to stand for any length of time.

IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely high temperatures. The grates are put under a lot of stress when hot utensils are placed on them. In addition, the cooktop parts are occasionally exposed to acidy food spill-overs. These severe operating conditions, cause the porcelain enamel parts on your cooktop to undergo a change in appearance over time. If you care for and clean these parts carefully, you will slow down, but not eliminate, the aging process.
