Dacor MillenniaTM Door Handle & Control Housing, Porcelain Surfaces, Broiler Pan, Control Panel

IMPORTANT:

The grates, burner caps, and spill-over areas on the cooktop, unlike other porcelain enamel appliances in your home, are exposed to extremely high temperatures

in a matter of seconds. In addition to this extreme thermal shock, the grates are subjected to mechanical shock when utensils are placed on or slid across them. Finally, spillovers introduce foods with high acidity to all of the porcelain components. Due to these severe operating conditions, all porcelain enamel components on the cooktop will undergo an inevitable change in appearance with use. Meticulous care and cleaning will slow but not eliminate this natural and expected aging process.

Treating the porcelain components with care will slow the natural deterioration that takes place with cooktop use. Please follow these guidelines to keep the porcelain parts looking their best:

1. Do not use utensils having rough bottoms,

as this can result in permanent damage

to the top surfaces of the porcelainized

To re-activate the control panel, again push and hold the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad for three seconds. “OFF” will disappear from the display.

IMPORTANT:

Clean the control panel with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE PERTOLIUM OR CHLORINE BASED CLEANERS, ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH. Dry the control panel completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Door Handle & Control Housing

IMPORTANT:

Clean the door handle and control panel housing with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT USE PERTOLIUM OR CHLORINE BASED CLEANERS, ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH.

Porcelain Surfaces

IMPORTANT:

The oven interior and inner door liners are finished in porcelain enamel. Clean these 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. Always remove excess grease and soil from the oven interior and door prior to using the Self-Cleaning cycle. Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse, dry and polish with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Broiler Pan

The oven broiler pan is finished in porcelain enamel. Clean both components in a solution of detergent and hot water. For heavy soil conditions, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. Rinse well after cleaning.

	grates.
2.	Do not drop utensils onto the grates or
	drag heavy pots across the tops of the
	grates.
3.	Set the grates into the locating dimples
	gently. Do not drop the grates into place.
4.	Use caution when cooking to avoid spills
	as much as possible. Porcelain is acid-
	resistant but not acid-proof, so some foods
	can cause permanent damage if allowed to
	remain on porcelain surfaces.

Daily cleaning of the grates and burner caps is best accomplished with a soft cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing liquid. Grates and burner caps should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Stubborn stains may be removed by applying full-strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409, or Scotch Guard. Metal polishing compounds such as Luneta or Flitz may also be used. (If you are unable to locate these cleaning compounds, please phone the DACOR Customer Service Department for a referral.)

Mildly abrasive cleaners or applicators, such as S.O.S. Pads, soap-filled steel wool pads, Soft Scrub, or Bon-Ami may be used with extreme care on occasion to remove the most serious stains. Exercise caution – extensive use of abrasives will eventually damage the porcelain enamel surface.

Control Panel

To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the control panel, activate the “Secure” feature. Press and hold the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad for approximately three seconds. This will disable the control panel and allow cleaning the controls without accidentally starting any functions. “OFF” will appear in the display when the control panel has been secured.

Glass Surfaces

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.

Top Frame

Everyday cleaning of the cooktop surface is best accomplished with a soft cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing liquid.

Stubborn stains may be removed by applying full-strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409, or Scotch Guard.

IMPORTANT:

1.Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

2.Do not use abrasive cleaners or applicators on the glass cooktop.

3.Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the glass cooktop.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean all stainless steel surfaces with the provided Elco Stainless Steel Cleaner. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

IMPORTANT:

If commercially available stainless steel cleaners are used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance. If these compounds are present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain.

Oven Racks

Oven racks are chrome-plated. For everyday cleaning, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water, or use a solution of 1 cup ammonia to 2 gallons of water. Remove racks during Self-Cleaning.If racks are left in the oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently discolor.

Convection Fan Filter

WARNING:

Remove the filter only when it is cool.

The convection fan filter is made of stainless steel. Remove the filter regularly for cleaning, as a clogged filter will reduce the effectiveness of convection cooking modes. Soak the filter in hot soapy water according to the package directions. Dry the filter completely before re-installing. Remove the filter during Self- Cleaning. If the filter is left in the oven during Self-Cleaning it will permanently discolor.

Re-install the filter before cooking in the oven again. Failure to do so will expose the convection fan blade that rotates at high speed during convection modes.

Step 1: Orient the filter so that the two mounting tabs are towards the rear, open end down.
