Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Oven Interior (cont.)

Optional Cookie Sheets

Clean the optional aluminum cookie sheets with a solution of detergent and warm water. Since aluminum can scratch, you need to use the soft side of a sponge. A way for you to keep cookie sheets cleaner is to use parchment paper over the cooking surface during baking. The parchment paper will also prevent food from sticking.

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 it. 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.

Replacing the Light Bulb(s)

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 Solu- tion Guide on page 28.

•Replace the light bulb only with Dacor part number 107112. See the facing page for ordering information.

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 a light bulb, follow these steps:

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

2.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.

3.Grasp the old bulb and pull it straight out of the socket.

4.Using a glove, insert the new bulb into the socket.

5.As you reinstall the lens cover, line up the cutout on the inside rim with the light socket. Gently press it into its original position.

6.Turn the power to the range back on. Reset the clock (see page 9).
