Installation Instructions

Backguard Installation

If installing a backguard or changing the factory installed backguard, install it before moving the range into position. Do not install a backguard if installing a raised vent.

Raised Vent Installation

If installing a raised vent, install it before moving the range into position.

Removing the Oven Door

To make the range easier to move, remove the door to reduce weight.

warning

•Do not attempt to disengage the hinge catches with the door removed from the oven. The hinge springs could release, causing personal injury.

•Do not lift or carry the oven door by the door handle.

1.Open the door to its fully opened position.

2.Using a flat blade screwdriver, rotate the catch over the retaining arm on each hinge.

3.Lift the oven door to about a 15° angle from the vertical position.

Electrical Connection

warning

•Before proceeding, turn off power to the circuit to which the appliance will be connected at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

•If the electric service provided does not meet the product specifications, do not proceed with the installation. Call the selling dealer or a licensed electrician. Improper connection of the electrical wiring can cause an electric shock hazard and damage the appliance. Dacor is not responsible for damages resulting from improper installation.

•This range must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system. Alternatively, a grounding conductor should be connected to the grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

•Do not use a 3-wire connection unless local building codes permit.

•Do not turn on power to the appliance until the range is permanently grounded.

•Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Such use may result in fire, electrical shock or other personal injury.

•Do not install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. A fuse in the neutral or ground circuit may result in an electrical shock hazard.

NOTE: If the appliance is connected to a 208 volt power supply, preheat times and cavity temperature recovery times will be increased slightly.

NOTE: Model numbers ending with a -C come from the factory pre-wired. If installing a pre-wired range, skip to Installing the Range on page 16.

IMPORTANT: When connecting the range wiring, do not disconnect any of the wires inside the range electrical box unless instructed to do so.

Before proceeding:

1.Position the range directly in front of the cabinet cut out.

2.Remove the electrical panel cover on the back of the range. There are four possible ways to wire the range:

• 4-wire conduit

• 3-wire conduit (where local codes permit)

• 4-wire appliance cord (where local codes permit)

• 3-wire appliance cord (where local codes permit)

The sections on the following pages give directions for connecting each type of wiring harness.

4.Hold the door with both hands just below the handle and pull it away from the oven while continuing to lift.
