Care and Cleaning

After the self clean cycle is complete:

•The door latch will release when the inside has cooled down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON” will disap- pear from the display. Exercise caution because the oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the door lock is released.

•Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before using your oven.

•You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of the oven after self cleaning. This is normal. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the oven cools down.

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

1.Prepare the oven for self cleaning as instructed on page 20. 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 SELF CLEAN key.

4.Press the START TIME key.

5.Enter the desired start time. For example, press 1-2-3-0for 12:30. You may enter a time up to 22 hours and 59 minutes ahead of the present time.

6.Press START · CONTINUE.

7.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.

While the oven is set to clean at a later time:

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

•If the clock is displayed, 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 (about 400 °F).

Cleaning the Glass Cooktop Surface

warning

•Unless otherwise specified, make sure that all cooking zones are cool enough to safely touch before cleaning.

•Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled to prevent steam burns.

•To avoid dangerous fumes and damage to the cooktop, use only the cleaners specified. Use them only as instructed. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may cause permanent damage.

•When removing heavy spills, use only the included razor blade scraper or a plastic spatula. Do not remove heavy spills with sharp objects like a knife or metal spatula. Using objects other than those specified may scratch the surfaces.

Cleaners To Avoid

These types of cleaners can discolor, scratch, stain, mark or etch the glass or trim.

•Glass cleaners containing chlorine bleach or ammonia.

•Caustic cleaners, such as oven cleaners.

•Abrasive cleaners (i.e.: metal scouring pads, Scotch Brite, sponges, S.O.S. pads)

•Powder or liquid cleaners containing chlorine bleach or abrasives/cleaners.

•Flammable cleaners.

Special Cleaning Methods

The following applies to the glass surface only:

•Sugar, syrup, tomato spills - REMOVE THESE TYPES OF SPILLS IMMEDIATELY, WHILE THE COOKTOP SURFACE IS HOT. USE A PLASTIC SPATULA OR THE INCLUDED RAZOR BLADE SCRAPER ONLY. THIS TYPE OF CLEAN UP IS THE ONLY ONE THAT IS DONE WHEN THE COOKTOP SURFACE IS HOT! After scraping, allow the cooking surface to cool, then use a dry towel or sponge to wipe up residue.

1.Remove utensils/pans from

the cooktop and turn off the controls. Angle the scraper slightly and push spills

or residue off the heated surface. Do not scratch or

gouge (see diagram).

2.Let the surface cool and remove any residue. Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème (see follow- ing page).

•Burned on food

1.Soften using a moist cloth or paper towel over the soil for 20 to 30 minutes.

2.Wipe clean, dry and apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème (see following page).
