Cabinet Layout

• Carefully check the location where the range is to be
installed. For best performance, the range should be placed

away from drafts that may be caused by doors, windows and
heating and air conditioning outlets.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury and to reduce
accumulated smoke in the room, Dacor strongly recommends

installing a range hood. A range hood should project
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the face of the

cabinets.

• All maximum and minimum dimensions and clearances
shown in the diagrams below must be maintained for safe

operation.

• The range may be installed flush to the rear walt. Dacor
strongly recommends installing a non-combustible material
on the rear walt above the range and up to the vent hood or

installation of a backguard. It is not necessary to install non-
combustible materials behind the range below the countertop
height.

• Any openings in the walt behind the appliance or in the floor
underneath it must be sealed.

Gas and Electrical Service

• The shaded area shown denotes the location of the gas
inlet and the electrical junction box/receptacle. This is the

recommended location. For replacement purposes, the
location of the existing utilities may be utilized provided they
do not interfere with the sides or rear of the range. Check
local building codes for permissible gas valve locations.

• An external manual shut-off valve must be installed between

the gas inlet and the range, for the purpose of turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.

The installation must allow for the following:

• Access to the gas shut-off valve when the unit is installed.

• Access to the remote circuit breaker panel/fuse box, when the

range is in place.

• The gas supply piping and shut-off valve, and the electrical

junction box/receptacle must be located so they do not

interfere with the range when it is installed.

• The junction box and gas shut off valve must be located

so that the range can be pulled out for service while the
appliance remains connected.

NOTES:

0 The power supply must be properly polarized• Reverse

polarity wilt result in continuous sparking of the
electrodes, even after flame ignition•

0 If there is any doubt as to whether the power supply is

properly polarized or grounded, have it checked by a
licensed electrician•

1. With the range positioned directly in front of the cabinet
cutout, feed the appliance wires into the junction box.
Depending upon local codes, utilize one of the three (3)
methods shown to connect the appliance to the junction box.

2. After connecting the conduit to the range (see page 10)
connect the white wire from the appliance to the neutral

(white) supply wire in the junction box.

3. Connect the black wire from the appliance to the black (L1)
power supply wire in the junction box.

4. Connect the red wire from the appliance to the red (L2) power
supply wire in the junction box.

5. If using a 4 wire connection, connect the green wire to a
grounded supply wire in the junction box or to a grounded
cold water pipe. If connecting to a grounded cold water pipe:

0 Use a separate copper grounding wire (No. 10 minimum)

to connect to the cold water pipe by means of a clamp
and an external grounding connector screw•

0 If there are any materials that isolate the cold water pipe

from ground, jumper it with a No. 4 copper wire, clamped
on both ends.

6. Replace the cover on the junction box.

Verifying Proper Operation

Before operating the range, read the accompanying use and
care manual completely. It contains Important safety, service and

warranty information.

1. Before beginning the test procedure, ensure that all cooktop
control valves are Jnthe OFF position, and all burner rings,

burner caps, and grates are properly positioned on the
cooktop frame. Turn on the gas supply at the shut-off valve.

2. Check for gas leaks.

3. Turn on power to the range.

4. Set the time of day: Press the clock key. Enter the time on
the number keypad (within 6 seconds). Press START.

5. Press the BAKE key.

6. Enter the temperature of 350°F on the keypad.

7. Press START.

8. The display should show BAKE, and the preheating
temperature.

9. Press the CANCEL-SECURE key to stop the oven heating
process.

10. Test one of the burners by pushing the knob in and turning it
counterclockwise to the HIGH position. It may take up to four
seconds for ignition to occur, at which time the ignitor wilt stop
sparking. If ignition does not occur within four seconds, turn
off the knob, wait for at least five minutes to allow any gas to

dissipate, then repeat the ignition test. After ignition, rotate
the control knob counterclockwise

from HIGH to LOW to adjust the
flame height progressively. When
the range is installed properly, the

flame wilt be steady and quiet.

Itwilt also have a sharp, blue
inner cone that wilt vary in length
proportional to the burner size.

Dacor's Smart Flame TM feature
reduces the flame under the grate

fingers to increase grate life. If the
range is equipped for use with LP
gas, the ends of the flame may be yellow at the tips, which is

normal.

11. Turn the control knob to the OFF position.

12. Repeat the ignition test for all remaining burners.
If the range does not operate properly, follow these OFF Icon

troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify that power and gas are supplied to the range.

2. Check the electrical connections and gas supply to ensure
that the installation has been completed correctly.

3. Repeat the above bake test or burner ignition test.

4. If the appliance still does not work, contact Dacor Distinctive
Service at [phone]. Do not attempt to repair the
