Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Oven Interior (Cont.)

Optional Baking Stone

Wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub it clean before you use it for the first time. Do not use any soap or detergents to wash the stone. The stone is porous and soap will get trapped inside. The trapped soap will affect the flavor of the food cooked on it. Do not be alarmed if the stone gets stains on it after it is used for a while. Stains do not affect the stone’s ability to bake properly.

When you need to remove large food particles from the baking stone, use warm water and a scrub brush. If there is a lot of oil build-up, it may smoke and create odors. If you need to remove the oily build up, use a scouring pad or brush to remove it. You may also use a paste of baking soda and water to scrub off small stains.

Cleaning the Optional Dacor Griddle and Grill

Clean the griddle/grill after each use. Wash it thoroughly in hot soapy water to avoid stains from grease build-up. The griddle/grill is coated with a non-stick coating for easy cleaning. Warm water and liquid detergent are all that are needed for cleaning. Remove stubborn spots with a non- abrasive plastic mesh pad. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasives or abrasive cleaners. Use the soft side of a sponge to scrub it. Dry it with a lint-free cloth.

Replacing the Light Bulbs

warning

•To prevent electrical shock and/or personal injury, make certain that the oven and light bulb are cool and that power to the range has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box before replacing the light bulb.

•Always make sure the lens cover is in place when using the oven. The lens cover protects the bulb from breakage.

•Replacing the lens cover without lining up the cutout with the light socket will damage the light fixture.

•Do not use a screwdriver to remove the lens.

Light bulb replacement is considered a homeowner maintenance operation. If the light does not work, before replacing it, please consult the Problem Solution Guide on page 30.

important

Do not touch the replacement halogen light bulb with your fingers. Halogen bulbs are sensitive to the oils from your hand. The oils from your hand will stick to the bulb and may cause it to burn out faster than normal.

To replace the light bulb, follow these steps:

1.Replace the light bulb only with Dacor part number 100429. See the facing page for ordering information.

2.Turn off power to the range at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

3.Hold your hand under the lens for support and gently pry it loose using a spatula or table knife. Pull the lens cover straight out.
