Important Safety Instructions General Safety Precautions To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your range, follow basic safety precautions, including the following: WARNING WARNING • Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the range. • If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
Important Safety Instructions WARNING WARNING • When deep fat frying: • Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner. ◊ Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the desired volume of food without overflow caused by the bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended. • Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders. • Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot cooktop or oven. The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.
Getting to Know Your Range Parts of the Cooktop A BURNER CONTROL KNOBS: Use the knobs to turn on the burners and adjust the flame size. The indicator next to each knob illuminates when a burner is on. The center knob operates the oven. D E C B TRIM RINGS: Located behind each knob, they prevent liquids from getting into the internal parts. F C SPILL TRAY: The spill tray catches any food that falls through the cooktop grates.
Getting to Know Your Range Parts of the Oven A B P C J M Model and serial number label (view through right side of grate with flashlight) N 7 L F 6 5 3 K D 4 2 E F G 1 H J A OVEN CONTROL KNOB: Use the oven control knob to turn on the oven. One knob is used to control both the bake and broil burners. F RACK SUPPORTS: There are seven rack positions inside the oven chamber. The rack positions are numbered from the bottom counting up.
Setting Up Your Range Cooktop Assembly The burner rings spread the flame evenly around the burner cap. All burner parts must be properly seated for proper burner lighting and operation. To assemble the burners: 1. Remove the burner rings, burner caps and grates from their shipping packages. 2. Install the burners as shown below. Gently twist each piece back and forth after installation to make sure it is properly seated. A small gap below the burner ring is normal when installed properly. 3.
Setting Up Your Range 2. Begin to slide the rack in, lifting the front safety clips over the front of the oven rack supports. Installing the Oven Racks 3. Push the rack all the way in. WARNING 4. Grasp the rack in the center of the front and pull. The rack should come forward while the guides remain in place. The oven racks become hot when the oven is in use. Your oven comes with Dacor’s deluxe GlideRack oven racks.
Operating Your Range Cooktop Operation WARNING • To avoid the chance of fire, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your range without the burners completely and properly assembled (see page 6). The burner rings must be properly seated for proper burner lighting and operation. • To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles to a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also, handles should not extend over adjacent burners.
Operating Your Range Lighting a Burner Each burner control knob has a small diagram next to it with an indicator light to tell you which burner it operates. 1. Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the HIGH position. The indicator light will illuminate and the burner igniters will spark (a clicking sound) repeatedly until the burner lights. The burner should light within four seconds.
Operating Your Range Burning-in the Oven WARNING In broil and convection broil modes, high temperatures (up to 555˚F) are present inside the oven. To avoid the possibility of burns or fire: When the oven comes from the factory, residue for certain materials used in the manufacturing process are left on the parts of the oven. These residues should be “burned off” before the oven is used for the first time. • Broil only with the oven door completely shut.
Operating Your Range To Convection Bake: 3. Immediately place the food inside the oven and shut the door completely. 1. Pre-heat the oven according to the Bake instructions on the facing page. IMPORTANT: 2. When pre-heated, place the food in the oven. 3. Close the oven door and push the convection fan button to turn it on. NOTE: Push the button again to turn the fan off when you are done cooking. To Broil: • Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage for excess fat and grease.
Operating Your Range Bakeware Tips Baking Tips (cont.) Convection Bake Tips • • • • As a general rule, convection bake will allow preparation of most foods at reduced temperatures for shorter periods of time, while also producing superior results. Typically you can reduce the standard temperature by 25˚F and cook for 10% less time. Baked goods will have golden-brown crusts with flaky textures, and meats will have crispy exteriors with succulent juices sealed inside.
Operating Your Range • When using a optional baking stone, use rack position #3 for best results. • When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. For poultry, insert the thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh. To ensure an accurate reading, the tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat or gristle. Check the meat temperature 2/3 of the way through the recommended roasting time.
Care and Cleaning To keep the range looking and operating its best, clean it after every use. Also, wipe up spills that occur while cooking quickly. Be careful not to touch any hot areas. Cleaning WARNING If you allow spills to sit on hot burner parts, they will burn on and be very difficult to clean. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vinegar, alcohol and milk can damage the finishes if you allow them to stand for any length of time.
Care and Cleaning Cleaning the Burners and Igniters WARNING Inner burner cap Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is fragile and can crack or break. IMPORTANT: The igniters will not work properly if the burner rings, burner bases or igniters are not clean. Dirty or wet igniters may not spark at all. Outer burner cap After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt or grime deposited on the individual parts, including the igniters. 1.
Care and Cleaning Chrome Surfaces Cleaning (cont.) Clean chrome surfaces the same way as stainless steel surfaces (see column one). Knobs and Trim Rings Porcelain Surfaces WARNING The oven interior, the inner side of the oven door and the spill tray are finished in porcelain enamel. • Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and spill protector rings in place. Clean porcelain surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Care and Cleaning Removing your oven’s convection filter... Light bulb replacement is considered a homeowner maintenance operation. If the light does not work, before replacing it, please consult the Problem Solution Guide on page 18. When the oven is cool, put your fingers around the edges of the filter and gently push up. 1. Replace the light bulb only with Dacor part number 107112. See page 20 for ordering information. IMPORTANT: Do not touch the replacement halogen light bulb with your fingers.
