ANTI-TIP DEVICE

WARNING

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured
by a properly installed Anti-Tip device. AFTER THE RANGE HAS

BEEN INSTALLED, CONFIRM THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE HAS BEEN
PROPERLY INSTALLED AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE
IS PROPERLY ENGAGED. Refer to the installation manual for

instructions.

a) If the anti-tip device is not installed, a child or adult can tip the

range and be killed.

b) Verify the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged

at the rear right (or rear left) of the range bottom.

c) If you move the range and then move it back into place, ensure

the anti-tip device is re-engaged at the right or left rear of the
range bottom.

d) Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and

engaged.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or
adults.

WARNING

Do not step, lean, or sit on the oven door of the range. You can cause
the range to tip, resulting in burns or serious injuries.

Confirm that the Anti-Tip device is installed properly. Then, to verify
that the Anti-Tip device is engaged, grasp the top rear edge of the
range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward. The Anti-Tip device
should prevent the range from tilting forward more than a few
inches.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the
anti-tip device is properly engaged when you push the range back
against the wall. If it is not, there is a risk of the range tipping over
and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Never completely remove the leveling legs. If you remove the
leveling legs, the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device
properly.

Before you begin

Important

• The overall design and/or accessories may
differ with the model.

Installer

• To promote safety and minimize
problems, read this manual thoroughly
before starting the installation. Leave
this manual with the user.

• Write the appliance’s model/serial
numbers in this manual for service/
maintenance reference.

User

• Keep this manual for personal reference
and for that of inspectors, service
personnel, etc.

Before you begin

Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the first time. Then, remove the accessories,
set the oven to Bake, and then run the oven at 400 °F for 1 hour. There will be a
distinctive odor. This is normal.

Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.

Energy saving tips

• During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn food over.
Do not open the door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven temperature and
to save energy.

• If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, you can switch the oven off 5-10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time to save energy. The residual heat will complete the
cooking process.

• To save energy and reduce the time needed for re-heating the oven, plan oven use to
avoid turning the oven off between cooking one item and the next.

• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.

Before you begin

Oven vent/cooling vent

Before you begin

Oven vent

Cooling vent

Oven vent

Both the oven vent and the cooling vent
are located at the back of the oven range.
Proper air circulation prevents combustion
problems and ensures good performance.

• Do not block the vent or its
surroundings with objects.

• Use caution when placing items near
the vent. Hot steam can cause them to
overheat or melt.

• Be careful when operating the oven
whatever the mode it is. The oven lets
very hot air out through the vent.

• Make sure that the oven vent cover
sits securely on the cooktop. You can
verify that the oven vent cover is in
the correct position by confirming that
the tabs on the bottom side of the oven
vent cover fit into the corresponding
slots on the cooktop.

Important safety instructions

Location safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the
following precautions.

• This range is for indoor, household use only. Do not install the range outdoors or
anywhere that it will be exposed to weather/water or wind/strong drafts.

Important safety instructions

• Do not install the range in a place which is exposed to a strong draft.

• Select a level, well-constructed floor that can support the range’s weight. Synthetic
flooring, such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures without
shrinking, warping, or discoloring. Do not install the range directly over interior kitchen
carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch plywood or a similar insulator is placed between the
range and carpeting.

• For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range’s vents are not blocked or
covered, and that there is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the
range. The vents allow the necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion and get the good cooking result.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 200 °F (93 °C)
generated by the range.

• Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage
above the range is necessary, allow a minimum clearance of 30 inches (76.2 cm)
between the cooking surface and the bottom of the cabinets or install a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.

• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor air
circulation.

• If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds on
that window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a fire
hazard.

Cooktop safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:

• Make sure all burners are off when not in use.

• Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the cooktop. This can cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard. Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.

• Before igniting, make sure all burner caps are properly in place and all burners are
level.

• Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the burners
have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait for the gas to dissipate
before re-igniting the burner.

• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the flame
stays on.

• To heat food, you must have a ventilation hood. When you heat food, the hood must be
on.

• Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.

• Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.

• Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is off and
completely cool.

• After cleaning the burner spreader, make sure it is completely dry before re­assembling.

• Make sure the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is placed beside the electrode
when it is assembled.

• To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well while
cleaning.

• Select cookware that is designed for cooktop cooking. Use recommended cookware no
larger than the cooktop grates.

• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not
use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.

• Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but not over
other surface burners or the front edge of the cooktop.

• Do not stand directly over a pot while frying food.

• Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods at high
heat, carefully monitor the cooking process. If you are going to combine fats or oils
when frying, mix them before heating.

• Use a deep-fry thermometer when possible so you do not heat the oil beyond its
smoke point.

Important safety instructions

• Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Do not fry
frozen, icy, cold, or wet food.

• Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely cooled.

• To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at least 20
seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature in the liquid can
stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these first-aid instructions:

• Immerse the scalded area in cool water for at least 10 minutes.

Important safety instructions

• Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.

• Cover with a clean, dry cloth.

• Place pots in the center of the grate. Do not place a pot larger than 9” in diameter
on the rear burners. If you place an oversized pot in the wrong position, it might
disrupt necessary air circulation and make the flame on the burner sputter and burn
inefficiently.

• Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite and
burn you if they touch a surface burner.

• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or ignite
plastic items or cause build up of dangerous pressure in closed plastic containers.
You may get severe burns if you touch the surfaces near the vent while the oven is
operating.

• Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on the
cooktop. Damage or fire could occur if the cooktop is hot.

• Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before you remove
them to prevent any possibility of being burned.

• Do not put any combustible material or items around the range.

• Do not touch the burners when they are on. Turn off the burners when you change a
pan or pot.

Oven safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the
following precautions.

• Do not use the oven for non-cooking purposes such as drying clothes or storage. Use
the oven for cooking only.

• Make sure the oven racks are placed on the same level on each side.

• Do not damage, remove, or clean the door gasket.

• Do not spray water on the oven glass while the oven is on or just after you have
turned it off.

• Stand aside when opening the oven door.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• When repositioning the oven racks, make sure the oven is completely cool.

• Do not put plastic items inside the oven.

• To avoid damaging the burner control knobs or oven control, always bake and/or broil
with the oven door closed.

• Do not place meat too close to the broil element. Trim excess fat before broiling.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with material such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.

Burners

There are three different types of burners on your range. See the diagram below for
heat output and location. Each burner generates a spark when the knob is rotated to the
"flame symbol" spark position. (Do not use the cooktop if the spark is not activated). When
the burner ignites, the spark stops automatically. The gaskets under the burners prevent
spilled liquids from leaking into the range’s internal parts.

Using the cooktop

Ignition

To light a burner :

Using the cooktop

1. Push in the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the Lite position. The igniter for

the burner will spark repeatedly until it lights. The spark makes a “clicking” sound.
The burner should light within four seconds. The flame should burn evenly around
the burner, except underneath each grate support finger, where the flame height is
reduced by Dacor’s Smart Flame feature. A normal flame is steady and blue. Foreign
material in the gas line, especially in new construction, may cause a temporary orange
flame during initial operation. Small yellow tips on the flames are normal when using
LP gas. If a burner does not ignite, the igniter continues to spark or if the flame is not
spread evenly around the burner cap, see the Troubleshooting section on page 93.

2. Place the cooking utensil on the grate.

3. Adjust the flame to the cooking task.

NOTE

Each control knob has a corresponding

NOTE

Turn off the burner if there is no spark, and verify that power is supplied to the range.
Never manually light a burner during a power failure.

Tips

• Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a vigorous, rolling boil. Boil
foods gently to conserve energy, flavor, and nutrients.

• Use a low or medium flame when cooking with utensils that are poor heat conductors
(glass, ceramics, cast iron). Adjust the flame to cover 1/3 of the cookware diameter to
ensure even heating and reduce risk of burning/scorching the food.

Flame level

The flames on the burners should always stay under the cookware.

Before using burner knobs...

To prevent change in flame size, each burner knob only can be operated by push-turn
method.

Also, the user will encounter stop points when turning the knob. At each stop point, push­turn the knob to continue. The knob can be turned only if the user intends to change flame
size.

Using the cooktop

Cookware

WARNING

• Cookware with rough bottoms can permanently damage the grate surfaces.

• To avoid burns, always turn pan handles to a position where they cannot be easily hit.
Handles should not extend over adjacent burners or the front edge of the cooktop.
Always set cookware gently onto the grates and center them so that they are well­balanced.

• Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish. Lift cookware
to reposition them.

• To avoid burns and fire hazards, ensure the burner flame stays under the utensil.

• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.

• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while cooking.

Using the cooktop

For overall safety and best performance, select the correct cookware for the food being
cooked. Improperly selected cookware will not cook evenly or efficiently.

Use cookware that:

• Has flat, smooth bottoms

• Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in

• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or pan.
