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:
DANGER
IMPORTANT: To avoid the possibility of explosion
or fire, do not store or use combustible, flammable
or explosive vapors and liquids (such as gasoline)
inside or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Also keep items that could explode, such as aerosol
cans away from the cooktop and oven. Do not store
flammable or explosive materials in adjacent cabinets
or areas.
WARNING
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately
contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use
a damaged appliance.
• Make sure that the range has been properly
installed and grounded by a qualified installer
according to the accompanying installation
instructions. Have the installer show you the
location of the circuit breaker panel or fuse box so
that you know where and how to turn off power to
the range.
• Do not install, repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended in the
literature accompanying it. A qualified service
technician should perform all other service.
• Only use the range for cooking tasks expected of
a home appliance as outlined in this manual. This
range is not intended for commercial use.
• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand
or climb on any part of therange, including the
door. Doing so may cause tipping, damage, serious
injury or death.
• CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above the range or on the
backguard of the range. Children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and
trim rings in place.
• Never leave cooktop elements unattended at high
heat settings. Boil-over causes smoking and greasy
spill-overs that may ignite.
• Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to
removing them for cleaning.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
plastic, cloth (including potholders) away from hot
surfaces. Do not place such items in the oven.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel when
using the range. Do not allow clothing to come
into contact with the cooktop, oven interior or
surrounding areas during and immediately after
use.
WARNING
• Do not store flammable items in the oven on the
cooktop.
• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
• Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects
over the range. If the range is near a window, do
not use long curtains as window treatment. The
curtains could blow over the cooktop and create a
fire hazard.
• When deep fat frying:
▪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.
▪Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods
with high water content may cause spattering or
spilling of the hot fat.
▪Heat fat slowly, and stir together any
combination of oils and fats prior to applying
heat. Utilize a deep fat frying thermometer to
avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the
flash point.
▪Let fat cool before attempting to handle it.
▪Wipe up spill-overs immediately.
•DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR
COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
Surface elements may be hot even though they are
dark in color.
• Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check
the manufacturer’s recommendations before use
to determine if a utensil is suitable for use on
a cooktop or in an oven. Certain types of glass,
ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use
on a cooktop. Personal injury or damage may result
from the improper use of cookware.
• Glazed cookware not designed for high heat use
may crack or break, causing a spill or burn hazard.
Before using glazed cookware, such as glass,
ceramic or earthenware, check the manufacturer’s
temperature and usage recommendations.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry.
• This appliance is equipped with heating elements of
different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the heating element. The use
of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
element will also improve efficiency.
• Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching
into the oven.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a
hot cooktop or in the oven. The steam can cause
serious burns or scalds.

Operating the Cooktop
Before Using the Cooktop
Before using the cooktop for the first time:
1. Clean the glass cooking surface with Dacor Cooktop
Cleaning Creme (see page 27) before using it for
the first time.
2. The cooktop is cleaned with solvents at the factory to
remove remaining oil and grease from the manufacturing process. Any remaining solvent may cause a
slight odor during the first several uses.
Selecting the Cookware
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage, cookware handles should be
turned inward so they cannot be easily hit and must
not extend over adjacent element(s).
• Always set utensils gently onto the elements. Do
not drag cookware across the cooktop. Sliding may
damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them.
Do not drop them on the cooktop. Also, cookware
with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage
to the glass finish.
Select utensils large enough to cover the heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
hot cooking surface to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper centering of the utensil over
the element also improves efficiency.
Use cookware that:
• has flat, smooth bottoms.
• is well balanced.
• has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in.
Turning On An Element
WARNING
• Always check to make sure all control
knobs are in the OFF position when you
are finished cooking.
• The glass cooking surface is durable and
resistant to impact, but not unbreakable.
It can crack or break if a pan or other object is
dropped on it.
• Aluminum foil can melt and cause permanent
damage. Food packaged in aluminum foil should not
be placed directly on the glass cooking surface.
• Never cook food directly on the glass.
• Each element control knob has a small
diagram next to it with an indicator light
that tells you which burner it operates.
• To turn on an element, push in on the
knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the desired heat
setting. To turn on additional elements on the dual
and triple elements, continue to turn the knob until
the DUAL or TRIPLE is facing up, then adjust the heat
level (see diagrams below).
•When you turn a control knob to the ON position, the corresponding hot surface
indicator light will come on. The light
remains on until the element has cooled to
a safe temperature to touch (approximately
150°F). If a hot surface light is ON, use caution when
working around the cooktop because it is still hot.

Cookware Characteristics
Aluminium: Heats and cools quickly when frying, braising
and roasting. May leave metal markings on glass.
Cast Iron: Heats and cools quickly. Not recommended
since it retains excessive heat and may damage the cooktop.
Copper: Heats and cools quickly. Good for gourmet cooking wine sauces and egg dishes.
Enamel ware: Performance depends on material. Not
recommended. Metal imperfections in enamel may scratch
cooktop.
Glass Ceramic: Heats and cools slowly. Not recommended. Heats too slowly. Imperfections in enamel may
scratch cooktop.
Stainless Steel: Heats and cools at moderate rate. Good
for soups, sauces, vegetables and general cooking.

Cooktop Tips
For superior cooking performance and to save energy:
• Reduce the heat setting to the minimum level neces-
sary to perform the desired cooking process. Food
cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a
vigorous, rolling boil. A higher boil than is necessary
wastes energy, cooks away moisture and causes a
loss in food flavor and nutrients.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking
times.
• Use a timer rather than repeatedly removing the lid to
check food. Doing so will decrease cooking time and
save energy.
• Thaw foods prior to cooking to reduce cooking time.
Canning
WARNING
• Safe canning requires that harmful micro organisms
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely.
▪When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a
gentle but steady boil must be maintained for
the required time.
▪When canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the required
time.
• After you have adjusted the controls, it is very
important to make sure the boil or pressure levels
specified are maintained for the required time.
Observe the following when canning:
• Pots that extend further than one inch beyond the
edge of the element’s outside diameter are not recommended for most cooking applications. However,
when canning with water-bath or a pressure canner,
larger diameter pots may be used, because boiling
water temperatures (even under pressure) are not
harmful to the cooktop surfaces. However, do not use
large diameter canners or other large-diameter pots
for frying or boiling foods other than water.
•Most syrup or sauce mixtures, and all fried foods, cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water.
Such temperatures could eventually damage the glass
cooktop surfaces.
•Be sure the canner fits over the center of the element. If the canner cannot be centered on the element for
some reason, use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.
• Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in
enamelware) because they don’t make good contact
with the cooktop surface and take a long time to boil
water.
• When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are
available from the manufacturer of your canner, manufacturers of glass jars for canning, and the United
States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Before Using the Oven...
•Dacor recommends turning the oven on for one hour at 500°F to burn off any residual oils used during the
manufacturing process. Any of these oils left on the
inner parts can cause an undesirable smell the first
few times the oven is used.
• When you use your oven to bake or roast, it preheats
automatically. The preheat cycle rapidly brings the
oven chamber up to the proper cooking temperature.
It takes several minutes to preheat the oven. Preheat
time depends on the temperature settings. The time
may be longer depending on the type of electrical
supply in your community. There is no preheat cycle
for any of the broil modes.
• After you pull food out of the oven, it will continue to
cook. This process is called “carry-over.” The larger
the portion of food, the longer it will cook. It is best to
let the meat rest after it comes out of the oven for 10
to 15 minutes before carving. Doing so will allow the
meat to retain its natural juices and make it easier to
carve.
