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
interior of the oven(s) or the cooktop and surrounding areas
during and immediately after use.

• To avoid a fire hazard, 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.

• Do not use the oven(s) for storage.

• Do not touch the outside surfaces of the range during the
self-clean cycle. They will be hot. Venting from the oven
may cause the cooktop and backguard to become hot.

• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting
a burner.

• Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to removing them
from the valve stems.

• Do not operate the range without the backguard, the knobs
and trim rings in place.

Planning the Installation

Cabinet Layout

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

• Check the location where the range is to be installed. It
should be placed away from drafts that may be caused by
doors, windows and heating and air conditioning outlets.

• To reduce accumulated smoke in the room, Dacor strongly
recommends installation with a range hood or approved
downdraft.

• To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury from reaching over
a hot appliance, avoid cabinet installations directly above the
range. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

• The range may be installed flush to the rear wall. Dacor
strongly recommends installing a non-combustible material
on the rear wall above the range and up to the hood or
installation of a backguard. It is not necessary to install non­combustible materials behind the range below the countertop
height. Any openings in the wall behind the appliance or in
the floor underneath it must be sealed.

Gas and Electrical Service

• The shaded area shown below denotes the location of the
gas inlet and the electrical outlet. 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 electrical outlet, when the range is in place.

• The gas supply piping and shut-off valve, and the electrical
outlet must be located so they do not interfere with the range
when it is installed.

• The electrical outlet and gas shut off valve must be located
so that the range can be pulled out for service while the
appliance remains connected.

APPROVED DOWNDRAFT

Range Model RNRP30G

Downdraft ERV3015

Trim Kit

IMPORTANT: Read the ERV3015 Installation Instructions

for duct and electrical installation requirements. Use only
the Dacor downdraft model(s) specified above.

ATKERV-RP30 Trim Kit is required.

• A downdraft with a 3-inch backguard requires adding
the ATKERV-RP30 trim kit to create a uniform unit.

• Install ATKERV-RP30 onto the back of the range.

• The ATKERV-RV30 trim piece on the back of the range
will cover the downdraft chassis.
