Care and Cleaning

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.

Using a soft cloth, clean metal surfaces with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Glass (Interior and Exterior)

Use a mild glass cleaner to remove finger prints on glass surfaces. You can also clean glass surfaces with Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme. Use it according to the directions on the package.

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 Interior

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. You also need to remove the filter during the self-clean cycle.

Removing your oven’s convection filter...

When the oven is cool, put your fingers around the edges of the filter and gently push up.

Clips

Door Gasket (Seal)

warning

Take extreme caution 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.

Oven Racks

caution

To prevent damage, do not self-clean the oven racks.

To clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. When you need to clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. You may also use a solution of one cup of ammonia to two gallons of water.

Meat Probe

warning

•To prevent damage, do not immerse the meat probe in water.

•The meat probe will not function properly if the plug the connects to the oven is wet.

The meat probe is constructed of silicone handles, a wire, a plug and a stainless steel skewer. To clean the skewer, use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water. When you clean the handles, wipe them with a soft sponge soaked with a solution of detergent and warm water. Dry thoroughly.
