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
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
• Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off valve and the electrical outlet so that you know where and how to turn off the gas supply and disconnect 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.
• Before performing any type of service, make sure that the gas supply is off and the power cord to the range is disconnected.
• Only use this range for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in this manual. This range is not intended for commercial use. This appliance is certified only for indoor use.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE RANGE DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. After use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.
• NEVER block or cover any slots, holes or passages anywhere inside the oven or on the outside of the range. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and cooktop and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. Keep all slots clear of grease and grime.
• In the interest of safety, keep the oven door shut unless inserting or removing food from the oven or when cleaning it.
• Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure. If a power failure occurs while operating the cooktop, turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
• Make sure individuals who use the range are able to operate it properly.
• Do not use the oven for storage.
• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or
climb on any part of the range. Doing so may cause damage, serious injury or death. Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the range. Do not allow children to play with the controls, pull on the handle or touch other parts of the range.
• Do not store items of interest to children on top of or above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.
• Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter any part of the range unless specifically instructed to do so in these instructions.
WARNING
• Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the range.
• Do not cover the burners and grates with anything except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop if a burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in place.
• Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot surfaces or gas burners.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the range and surrounding areas during and immediately after use.
• Use only dry pot holders when removing food and cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns.
• 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.
• To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the range unattended when in use.
• Clean the range thoroughly before operating it for the first time.
• Clean and maintain the range regularly as instructed in the Care and Cleaning section of this manual. Keep the entire range, ventilation filters and range hoods free of grease that could catch fire.
• Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check the manufacture’s recommendations before use to determine if a utensil is suitable for use with a range. Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use with a range. Personal injury or damage may result from the improper use of cookware.
• Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper size, material and construction for the particular type of cooking being done. Utensils need to be large enough to contain the desired quantity of food without boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with easy to hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift safely.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner.
• 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.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing them from the valve stems.
• Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the oven.
• The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs or trim rings in place.
• Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one hour before or after cooking. Eating spoiled food can result in food poisoning.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during cooking.
• Always ensure that the light fixture lens cover is in place when using the oven. The lens cover protects the light bulb from breakage caused by high oven temperatures or mechanical shock.
• Do not operate the range without the backguard attached. A fire hazard may result.
• For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the convection filter installed. When the filter is not installed, the spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against possible electric shock hazards. If only a two-prong outlet is available, it is the customer’s responsibility to have it replaced with a dedicated, grounded three-prong electrical outlet by a licensed electrician. Do not
under any circumstances:
◊ Cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
◊ Use an adapter plug.
◊ Use an extension cord.
◊ Use a power cord that is
frayed or damaged.
◊ Plug the cooktop into an
electrical outlet with a ground fault interrupter (GFI).
WARNING
• 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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be
burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
d. Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊ You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
◊ The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
◊ The fire department is being called.
◊ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
CAUTION
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the range’s surfaces. The finish may stain.
• Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not expose plastic knobs to direct flame, hot
utensils or other sources of heat.

Installing the Oven Racks
WARNING
The oven racks become hot when the oven is in use.
Your oven comes with Dacor’s deluxe GlideRack oven racks. You can pull then out further than other types of oven racks and still support heavy pots and pans full of food. They are great for heavier foods and the optional Dacor baking stone.
To install an oven rack:
1. Align both sets of safety clips (right and left) on the back of the rack guides with the oven rack supports as shown below. NOTE: The diagram below shows installation with the rack guides extended but, the rack may be installed with or without the guides extended, whichever is easier.
2. Begin to slide the rack in, lifting the front safety clips over the front of the oven rack supports.
3. Push the rack all the way in.
4. Grasp the rack in the center of the front and pull. The rack should come forward while the guides remain in place.
To remove an oven rack:
• Grasp the rack with both hands and pull it gently straight out toward you until it stops.
• Lift up until the front safety clips just clear the front of the rack supports on the oven. Continue to pull out. Moving the end of the rack back and forth slightly, left to right, as you pull, will make it easier to remove.
