Important Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

To reduce risk of fire, serious injury, or death in using the range, follow basic safety precautions, including:

WARNING

• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer. Do
not install or use a damaged appliance.

• Have the installer show you the gas shut-off valve and electrical outlet so
you turn off the gas and disconnect power to the range as needed.

• Do not install/repair/replace any part of the range unless as instructed in
the range literature. A qualified technician should do all other service.

• Before any type of service, turn off the gas, and unplug the range.

• Only use this range for residential cooking tasks only. This range is not
intended for commercial use and is certified for indoor use only.

• DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKTOP, BACKGUARD, AND SURROUNDING
SURFACES DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.

• Ensure all users can operate the range properly.

• Never let anyone sit/stand/climb on any part of the range.

• Do not leave children/pets unattended near the range. Do not let children
to play with the any part of the range.

• Do not store items of interest to children on/near the range.

• Do not try to use the range during a power failure. If a power failure
occurs while using the cooktop, turn off all active controls.

• Keep flammable items away from burners and hot surfaces.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Do not hang flammable or heat-sensitive objects over the range.

• Do not heat sealed containers.

• Put only proper cookware on grates; decorative covers can be a fire
hazard or may damage a burner that is turned on with the cover in place.

• Never use the range without the knobs or trim rings in place.

• Do not wear loose/hanging apparel while or just after using the range.

• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.

• Use only dry pot holders. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns.

• Do not hang curtains that could blow over the cooktop.

• Never leave burners unattended at high-heat settings.

• Clean the range thoroughly before operating it for the first time.

• Clean/maintain the range regularly as instructed in this manual. Keep the
entire range, ventilation filters and range hoods free of grease.

• Check cookware manufacturer instructions to determine suitability for
range use. Certain material is unsafe for range use.

• NEVER block slots/holes/passages anywhere on the range. Doing so
prevents efficient and safe operation.

• Very cautiously add water to food in hot cookware.

• Use cookware of proper size/material/construction for the cook task. Do
not overfill cookware. Pans should not be unwieldy and should have solid,
easy-to-hold handles that stay cool while cooking.

• Do not allow pots or pans to boil dry.

• Ensure all cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner.

• Turn off burners before removing the control knobs.

• Do not use the oven for storage.

• When opening the oven door, stand aside so hot air and steam can
escape safely.

• Do not use the oven without the convection filter installed. Spinning
convection-fan blades are a safety hazard.

WARNING

• Do not leave food in the oven more than 1 hour before/after cooking.

• When deep-fat frying:

- do not overfill the pot, causing a boil-over from bubbling oil

- heat oil slowly, andnever leave the pot unattended

- do not fry moist or frosty food

- stir together combined oils/fats before heating

- use a frying thermometer to avoid heating oil beyond its flash point.

• Tip-over hazard:

- Any-size person can tip the range and be killed.

- Ensure the anti-tip bracket is properly installed per the
installation instructions.

- After moving the range, ensure anti-tip foot re-engages the
anti-tip bracket as shown below; do not use the range if the
anti-tip foot does not engage the anti-tip bracket.

• The range has a 3-prong grounding plug to protect against possible
electric shock. The owner shall ensure that a dedicated, grounded
3-prong electrical outlet is available. Never:

- remove the cord’s third (ground) prong

- use an adapter plug

- use an extension cord

- use a damaged power cord

- use a ground fault interrupter (GFI).

IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• Being careful not to burn yourself, smother flames with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN.

• DO NOT DOUSE FLAMES WITH WATER OR WET CLOTH.

• Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:

- you have a Class ABC extinguisher and know how to use it.

- the fire is small and contained in the area of origin.

- the fire department is being called.

- you can fight the fire with your back to an exit

CAUTION

• Quickly wipe acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) from range surfaces.

• Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.

• Do not remove heavy spills with a sharp or metal object.

• Do not line the oven with foil or other materials. These items can melt or
burn up during self cleaning, permanently damaging the oven.

• Do not expose the knobs or trim rings to direct flame, hot utensils, or
other heat sources.

• The light-fixture lens cover must always be in place to keep the light bulb
from breaking due to oven heat and mechanical shock.

• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Relocate them
to a separate, well-ventilated room during range use.

Getting to Know the Range

Parts of the Cooktop

BACKGUARD: The range comes standard with a
three inch backguard installed. The backguard pro­tects the wall from the effects of heat and splatter­ing grease. A nine inch backguard is also available.

SPILL TRAY: The spill tray catches any food that
falls through the cooktop grates.

GRATES: The porcelain coated cast iron grates sup­port the cooking utensils during cooking. They are
removable to allow the area below and around the
burners to be cleaned easily.

BURNERS: See below for the size and location of
the different burners. The range generates a spark
to light the burner when you turn the knob to the

HIGH position.

BURNER CONTROL KNOBS: Use the knobs to turn

on the burners and adjust the flame size. The corre­sponding Illumina™ knob illuminates when a burner
is on. The center knob operates the oven.

TRIM RINGS: Located behind each knob, they pre­vent liquids from getting into the internal parts.

Special Cooktop Features

Perma-Flame™: The Perma-Flame instant re-igni­tion feature automatically re-lights a burner quickly
if it goes out. With Perma-Flame, your cooking
experience is uninterrupted because the flame is re­ignited at the same level as when it went out.

Smart Flame™: Smart Flame technology reduces
the temperature under the fingers of the porcelain­coated cast iron grates. Smart-Flame extends grate
life and protects the finish.

SimmerSear™: The SimmerSear burners are
equipped with Dacor’s exclusive precision burner
control system. This feature allows you to cook with
a wide range of heat settings, from simmer to sear.

A Door Latch: Monitors the self clean process.

B IR Broil Burner: This high-efficiency infrared

boil burner is the source of top heat. The igniter
glows orange from time to time during broiling.

C Oven Light: The oven lights are behind the

oven-rack supports. The lights turn on when you
push the Light Button K on the control panel. The
bulbs are 120 Vac, 50 Watt.

D Rack Supports: There are seven rack positions

inside the oven chamber. The rack positions are
numbered from the bottom counting up.

E Bake Burner: Located below the floor of the

oven. It is the source of bottom heat.

F Air Intake/Exhaust Slots: The range draws air

in through the intake slots to cool its internal parts.
The air comes out through the exhaust vent under
the range. Do not block or cover these air vents.

G Oven Racks: The range comes with two

chrome-plated adjustable GlideRack™ oven racks.

H Convection Fan/Filter: This fan circulates heated

air through the oven during convection cooking. The
Convection Fan Button P turns the convection fan
on/off. The Convection filter covers the convection
fan for safety purposes, helps prevent flavor transfer
between foods when convection cooking a whole meal,
and helps keep the oven cleaner, especially during
convection baking and convection broiling.

J Door Gasket: Prevents heat from escaping from

the oven when the door is closed.

L Oven ON Indicator: This illuminates when the

oven is on. The light cycles normally cycles on and
off, indicating that the oven’s burner-control system
is maintaining a constant temperature.

M Oven-Control Knob: This knob lights when the

oven is on and controls the bake and broil burners
and self-cleaning (see Pg. 13).

N Self-Clean Latch: Automatically locks the oven

door during self-cleaning to prevent burn injuries
from extremely high oven temperature.

the burner cap. All burner parts must be properly
seated for proper burner lighting and operation.

To assemble the burners:

1. Remove the burner rings, burner caps and grates
from their shipping packages.

2. Install the burners as shown below. Gently twist
each piece back and forth after installation to
make sure it is properly seated. A small gap
below the burner ring is normal when installed
properly.

Setting Up the Range

Installing the Oven Racks

WARNING

The oven racks become hot when the oven is in use.

The oven has seven levels for positioning the racks.

Installing a Standard Oven Rack

1. Insert the end of the rack with the safety notches
into the oven first.

2. Attach both sides of the rack to the rack supports
in the oven as shown below.

3. Slide the rack in, and tilt it up so the safety
catches clear the ends of the rack supports.

4. Push the rack the rest of the way in.

To remove the rack:

1. Grasp the rack with both hands, and pull gently

until it stops.

2. Tilt the rack up 6 inches (to release the safety

catches), and pull it out.

Installing a GlideRack™ Oven Rack

These special racks let you effortlessly move heavy
cookware in/out of the oven.

1. Extend the rack guides completely (see below).

2. Align the left and right safety clips on the back of
the guides with the oven-rack supports as shown.

3. Insert the rack in the oven, sliding its supports
between the rear safety clips as shown. Tilt the
front up slightly until the front safety clips just
clear the front of the rack supports.

4. Lower the rack so the front of the rack support is
between the front safety clip and the rack stop.

5. Grasp the front-center of the rack, and pull. The
rack slides forward; the guides remain in place.

To remove a GlideRack oven rack:

1. Grasp the rack with both hands and pull it gently

straight out toward you until it stops.

2. Lift up until the front safety clips just clear the

front of the oven rack supports. Continue to pull
out. Moving the end of the rack slightly, left to
right, as you pull, will make it easier to remove.
