Knobs and Trim Rings

WARNING

•Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and spill protector rings in place.

•Do not soak the knobs and spill protector rings in water or place them in the dishwasher.

•Do not expose plastic knobs to direct flame, hot utensils or other sources of heat.

Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of warm soapy water. Dacor recommends hand dishwashing liquid. To clean:

1.Disconnect power and turn the knobs to the OFF position.

2.Grasp each knob and pull straight back, off of the valve shaft.

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

4.To replace the knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening on the back

of the knob with the end of the valve shaft. Carefully push the knob on until it stops. The largest knob with numbers on it is the oven knob and goes on the center valve

stem. The SimmerSear

burner knob has the high flame icon and the simmer (low) icon spaced further apart than the other three burner knobs. Place it on the valve stem that is second from the left.

5. Reconnect the power cord.

Door Glass

Clean all glass surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Use a mild glass cleaner to remove fingerprints or smears. Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

The control panel, the outside surface of the oven door, the area around the outside of the cook- top and the side panels are covered with stainless steel. Clean these surfaces with the provided Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain. A small amount of baby oil may be applied to stainless steel tops to restore lustre.

Chrome Surfaces

Clean chrome surfaces the same way as stainless steel surfaces (see column one).

Porcelain Surfaces

The oven interior, the inner side of the oven door and the spill tray are finished in porcelain enamel.

Clean porcelain surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or commercial oven cleaners.

Oven Racks

The GlideRack oven racks are chrome-plated. For everyday cleaning, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy soil, use the rough side of a sponge or a scouring pad with plenty of water, or use a solution of 1 cup ammonia to 2 gallons of water.

Broil Burner

WARNING

To prevent damage to the broil burner and broil burner igniter, do not spray it with any type of cleaner or attempt to scrub them in any manner. These parts are self-cleaning and do not require any type of maintenance.

To burn off any grime build-up on the broil burner and igniter, close the oven door and turn the oven control knob to the BROIL position for about ten minutes. After ten minutes turn the oven off.

Door Gasket (Seal)

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

Convection Filter

WARNING

For your safety and proper oven performance, re-install the filter before using the oven to cook. If you don’t, the spinning fan blades at the back of the oven will be exposed.

The convection filter is located in the back of each oven chamber. Clean the filter regularly. If you allow it to become clogged, the oven’s convection cooking modes will not work properly.
