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.
• Never leave cooktop elements unattended at high heat settings. Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite.
• 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 place or store items that could melt or catch fire on the cooktop or in the oven, even when the range is not in use.
• 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.
• To avoid overheating, do not allow pans to boil dry.
WARNING
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 potholders to handle hot utensils.
• Hold the handle of the utensil to prevent movement when stirring or turning food.
• 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. 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.
• 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.
• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as potholders.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot cooktop or in the oven. The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.
• Do not use the cooktop to heat aluminum foil, aluminum pots or items wrapped in aluminum foil.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY. 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 element. 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. If you are “flaming” liquors or other spirits under an
exhaust, turn the fan off. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
e. 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.
f. In the event that personal clothing catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
• Use only dry potholders when removing food and cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet potholders can cause steam burns. Do not let potholders come into contact with hot heating elements.
• Do not use utensils that do not attract and hold a magnet and never use a steel plate or griddle to heat a nonmagnetic utensil, which can cause INJURY or DAMAGE to the cooktop elements and controls.
• Do not heat eggs or unopened food containers such as baby food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause them to burst and cause injury.
• Do not leave children or pets 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.
• Make sure individuals who use the range are able to operate it properly.
• Clean the range thoroughly before operating it for the first time.
• Clean and maintain the range regularly as instructed in this manual. Keep the entire range, ventilation filters and range hoods free of grease that could catch fire.
WARNING
• 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.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spill-overs may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately to replace a damaged/pitted cooktop.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during cooking.
• CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD, COOKING UTENSILS, OVEN RACKS, THE CONVECTION FILTER, ETC., IN THE OVEN DURING THE SELF CLEAN CYCLE.
CAUTION
• Do not cook with the oven door open.
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the range’s surfaces. The finishes may stain.
• Do not slide cookware across the cooktop. Sliding may damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Utensils with rough surfaces should be avoided since they can scratch the glass surface.
• Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the range’s surfaces.
• Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials that can melt or burn up during self cleaning and cause permanent damage to the oven.
• Do not leave objects, such as aluminum foil, the meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the bottom of the oven. Objects left on the bottom of the oven may cause damage.
• Do not allow the broil element on the oven ceiling to become covered up by cookie sheets, aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc. Doing so may cause overheating and damage the oven.
• To prevent damage, do not allow aluminum foil or the meat probe to come into contact with heating elements.
• Always ensure that the light fixture lens cover is in place when using the oven. It protects the light bulb from breakage caused by high oven temperatures or mechanical shock.

About the Cooktop
INDUCTION
Getting to Know Your Range
• Your range is equipped with an induction type cook­top. Induction cooking is totally different from tradi­tional types of cooking. A magnetic induction element below the cooking surface heats utensils (magnetic only) directly. Induction cooking is much more effi­cient because less energy is lost heating the cooktop itself. Also, food that spills on the cooktop does not burn since the cooktop is much cooler.
• The cooktop has four circular cooking zones. Below each cooking zone is the magnetic induction cooking element. Each cooking zone has its own set of con­trols. The control keys are activated by touching them with your fingertip. Pressing hard is not necessary because the keys are not pressure sensitive. NOTE: Spills or cleaning solutions on the keys can cause unwanted operation. Dry the control area with a clean cloth and reset the control to correct.
• All of the induction elements under the cooking zones feature temperature limiters to ensure a safe operat­ing temperature for the glass ceramic top. The ele­ments automatically cycle on and off. At higher power settings, the induction element will stay on for longer periods of time.

Power Management Feature
The Dacor induction power management feature regulates the amount of power the elements on one side (left or right) can draw at the same time. If you set both controls on the same side to the higher power settings, power to both elements will be reduced slightly and cooking times will be slightly longer. When cooking on two elements at a higher setting, Dacor recommends using one element on the left and one on the right.

Operating the Cooktop

Before Using the Cooktop
Before using the cooktop for the first time:
• Be sure all packing materials, labels or tape are removed from the cooktop surface.
• Wipe the cooktop with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
• Apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Crème, according to the Care and Cleaning section.
• During the first uses of the cooktop, you may smell a slight burning odor or see light smoke. These condi­tions are normal for new glass ceramic cooktops.
• Be certain that the cookware and glass surfaces are clean and dry before you place a pot or pan on the cooktop and turn on an element.
Selecting the Proper Cookware
IMPORTANT:
• It is important to select cookware carefully. Improp­erly selected utensils will not cook efficiently or evenly. All utensils used on an induction cooktop MUST be magnetic (must attract and hold a magnet). Select cooking utensils that are specifically identi­fied for use with induction cooktop. Utensils with poor magnetic conduction will not heat properly, may cause vibration or cause the no pan detected light to come on.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. The cookware must have heavier flat bottoms and the diameter should be large enough to cover the surface unit heating ele­ment. Using cookware that is a lot smaller than the cooking zone wastes energy and may cause the “no pan detected” light to come on and shut off power to the cooking zone.
• Choose cookware that matches the amount of food being prepared and closely matches the diameter of one of the cooking zones. Use tight fitting lids to retain heat, odors and steam.
Do not use:
• Cooking utensils that have bottoms that are rounded, convex or concave.
Determining Cookware Size
• Do not use cookware that is more than 1/2 inch larger in diameter than the cooking zone being used.
• For optimal performance, use pots or pans that are between 1/2 inch smaller and 1/2 inch larger than the cooking zone being used.
Cooking zone
Optimal Pan Size
Cookware Placement
IMPORTANT: Center the cookware in the cooking zone. Cookware that is off center may cause the “no pan detected” light to come on and shut off power to the cooking zone.
Cooking zone
• Utensils that are smaller in diameter than the cooking zone being used.
• Utensils made of materials that are poor heat conduc­tors.
• Griddle plates that cover more than one cooking zone.
• Dirty pans or pans with greasy build-up.
Improper utensils will not heat properly, wobble and may cause vibration.

Operating the Cooktop
Operating the Cooktop Controls
WARNING
• Turn on the induction cooktop only after placing the cookware on the element.
• Do not leave metallic utensils or lids on the cooking surface since they can become hot or may warp.
• Even though the cooktop itself does not heat, it still becomes hot due to the pots and pans placed on top of it becoming hot.
• For safe operation, know which control adjusts each element (see page 6).
• Make sure the cooktop surface is clean and dry.
• Place the pan on the desired cooking zone and center it.
• Locate the ON/OFF key for the selected cooking zone. Touch and hold your finger on the ON/OFF key for one second. When the power light turns on, remove your finger.
• Select the desired power level by touching the UP () or DOWN () key repeatedly. The more power level lights illuminated, the higher the power.
NOTE:
◊ If a power level is not selected within 10 seconds,
the control will turn off.
◊ You can change the power level setting at any
time during the cooking process.
◊ When selecting a power level, you can also hold
your finger on the UP () or DOWN () key until the desired power level is displayed, then remove your finger.

Lights
Power Boost
Your induction cooktop is equipped with a power boost feature. Use power boost to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking temperature faster. Power boost increases the induction element power up to 39%, for 10 minutes. NOTE: Power boost can only be used on one side (left or right) of the cooktop at a time (see cooktop layouts on page 6).
To use power boost:
1. Make sure the cooktop surface is clean and dry.
2. Place the pan on the desired cooking zone and center it.
3. Locate the ON/OFF key for the selected cooking zone. Touch and hold your finger on the ON/OFF key for one second. When the power light turns on, remove your finger.
4. Select power level 8 by touching the DOWN () key momentarily or by touching the UP () key repeat­edly.
5. With 8 power lights shown on the control panel, touch the UP () key once. The power boost light will come on. It will turn off after about 10 minutes when power boost automatically turns off.
Cooking Tips
• Practice and experience will ultimately determine the power levels that work best for you. Don’t be afraid to experiment and arrive at your own preferred cooking settings. You may want to take notes when you find a setting that works good for a particular food item. There are blank pages in the back of this manual for cooking notes.
• There will be some variation in the efficiency of the pots being used. All brands do not behave in exactly the same way since the different metals used conduct the electromagnetic waves from the induction ele­ments differently.
Auto Shut-off Feature
• If the cooktop is on for too long, it will shut-off auto­matically in the interest of safety. If one of the ele­ments is on for an unusually long period of time, and the control settings are not changed, the cooktop will shut off automatically and the residual heat indica­tor will light. The amount of time before the cooktop shuts down varies with the power setting and the type of cookware in place on the element.
• The cooktop may be restarted again after shut-off takes place according to the Operating the Controls section.

You can select the temperature scale (Fahrenheit or Celsius) the oven uses to display the cooking tempera­ture. The oven is preset at the factory to Fahrenheit.
To change the temperature scale:
1. Touch and hold the BROIL key.
2. The display will indicate the temperature scale the control panel is currently set to, “F” or “C”.
3. Touch the # key to change the temperature scale. To leave the setting as is, do not touch any keys.
4. Touch CANCEL·SECURE. The control panel will go back to the regular clock display, set to the new tem­perature scale.
Turning the Control Panel “Beep” Off/On
The control panel beeps any time you touch any of the keys or when various error conditions exist. It also beeps when a timer is done counting down (page 14) 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. Touch and hold the START TIME key for six seconds, until “beep” appears on the display.
2. Touch the # key repeatedly to switch between “On” and “Off”.
3. Touch 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.
Lock-Out Feature
If you want to disable the keys on the control panel when the oven is not in use:
• Touch and hold the CANCEL · SECURE key for about four seconds. The control panel keys will stop work­ing and “OFF” will appear on the display. Only the CANCEL · SECURE and oven light keys remain func­tional.
• To reactivate the control panel, touch and hold the CANCEL · SECURE key for four seconds.
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.

Operating the Oven

Racks
You may use either rack type on any level inside the oven.
WARNING
To reduce the chance of burns, position the oven racks when the oven is cool. If you must reposition a rack when the oven is hot, do not allow potholders to contact the heating element inside the oven.
Standard Racks
To insert 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 in the diagram below.
3. Begin to slide the rack in, and then, lift up so that the safety notches clear the ends of the rack supports.
4. Push the rack all the way in with both hands.
To remove a standard oven rack:
• Grasp it with both hands and pull gently straight out toward you until it stops.
• To remove the rack completely, lift the front of the rack up about six inches and continue to pull it out. Lifting the rack releases the safety notches. The safety notches reduce the chances of a rack coming out of the oven accidentally.
GlideRack Oven Racks
Your oven comes with Dacor’s deluxe GlideRack oven racks. You can pull them 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 a GlideRack 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 a GlideRack 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.
