•You may scrub the oven light lens with the rough side of a sponge and warm, soapy water. Be careful not to scratch the lens.

Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces

•To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while clean- ing the control panel, activate the lock-out feature. Press the CANCEL · SECURE key for six seconds. The lock-out feature disables the keys. When the control panel is locked, the word “OFF” appears on the dis- play.

•When you want to re-activate the control panel, press CANCEL · SECURE for six seconds.

•Clean the control panel with the soft side of a sponge dampened with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Dry the control panel completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

CAUTION

Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. Use it according to the directions on the package.

Cleaning the Knobs and Trim Rings

Warning

•Do not soak the knobs in water or put them in a 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 range, damage can occur.

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

•Wash the knobs 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.off

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

•To reinstall the knobs, align the hole on the back of the knob with the end of the valve shaft with the OFF icon up. Most knobs have a “D-shaped” opening on the back to help align it. Carefully push the knob on until it stops.

Cleaning the Oven Interior

warning

To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the oven and be sure that it is cool before cleaning.

Your oven’s self clean feature eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. The steps below are for cleaning surfaces and items that are not cleaned by the self clean process. To use the self clean feature see page 22.

Door Gasket (Seal)

warning

Take care when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal required for proper cooking and self cleaning.

Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of water and mild soap. Do not scrub it or it will become damaged.
