Dacor How to Clean Your Oven: A Comprehensive Guide to Maintaining Stainless Steel Surfaces

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Oven

Cleaning the Surfaces of the Oven

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the oven and be sure that it is cool before clean- ing.

WARNING: Use only the cleaning solutions specified in this manual to clean your oven. Do not use ANY cleaners that are not specified to clean the inside or outside of the oven. Use of other cleaners could pro- duce hazardous fumes, cause corrosion of the metal parts, and could permanently damage the finishes.

WARNING: Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing, moving, or in any way dam- aging the door gasket may eliminate the required tight door seal for self-cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the grain.

NOTE: If you want to avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the control panel, activate the lock-out feature on your oven. Press the CANCEL/SECURE key for 5 seconds. The lock-out feature will disable the control panel on your oven so that you can clean the keys and display.

When you want to re-activate the control panel on your oven, press the CANCEL/SECURE key for 5 seconds. The word “LOCKED” will disappear from the display.

NOTE: 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 covered by the self-clean process. To use the self-clean feature see page 51.

Glass and Porcelain Surfaces

•When you want to clean the glass and porcelain surfaces on your oven, use a non-abrasive, sponge with warm, soapy water. Dry the surfaces of your oven completely with a soft, lint-free cloth. 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.

•Glass surfaces may also be cleaned with Dacor Cook Top Cleaning Creme (Part No. A-300). Use it according to the directions on the package.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

•If your oven has stainless steel surfaces on the outside, clean them with a solution of mild detergent, and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

•You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner (Part No. A-302) on the stainless steel surfaces. Use it according to the directions on the package.

Door Gasket (Seal)

•Clean the door seal by dabbing it with a solution of water and mild soap. Do not scrub it, as it will become damaged.
