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 the range, 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.

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 elements 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.

The control panel beeps any time you press any of the keys or when various error conditions exist. It also beeps when a timer is done counting down (page 15) or whenever the oven performs certain preset functions, for example, pre-heat is complete. The tone may be silenced so that it does not function under the above conditions.
To turn the control panel “beep” off (or on):
1. Press and hold the START TIME key for six seconds, until “beep” appears on the display.
2. Press the # key repeatedly to switch between “On” and “Off”.
3. Press CANCEL · SECURE when the desired mode appears on the display.
4. To change the control panel back to the previous mode, repeat the above steps.
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.
