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.

Installing Rear Trim

If installing the range in the self-rimming configuration, or if the
range will be used with a downdraft, install the rear trim piece
first.

Remove the existing screws that hold the backguard in place and
use them to attach the trim piece. (See image below.)

Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket

Locate the anti-tip bracket included in the parts box.

There are two ways to install the anti-tip bracket:

• Floor mounting (preferred method).

• Wall mounting (alternate method). Use this method if floor
mounting is not suitable. If the front panel of the range
(excluding bull nose) is more than 27 inches (68.6 cm) from
the back wall, or if the flooring is too thick (see Installing
the Anti-Tip Bracket on the Wall), use the wall mounting
method.

*The range is supplied with two different styles of burner caps
(brass and porcelain) to suit the customer’s preference. Please
note that because the burner caps are made of brass, heat will
distort the brass’ color over time.

Replacing the Backguard

If a different backguard will be used, please assemble it before
pushing the range into position.

Bracket Install Detail

Mounting Holes

Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket to the Floor

1. Determine the location of the range center line and front
panel for the range’s final position based on the Product
Dimensions on page 5 and the actual cabinet / cutout
dimensions used for the installation.

2. Determine the placement of the anti-tip bracket, based on the
diagram below. Mark the four (4) mounting hole locations on
the floor with a pencil.

3. Determine the screw size required. The minimum full thread
depth (portion of screw threaded into wood/slab) for wood is
3/8” (1 cm) and 5/8” (1.6 cm) for concrete. See SCREW SIZE

TABLE to select the correct screw size.

Attaching the Bracket to a Concrete Floor:

• Drill four (4) 3/8” diameter countersink holes through any
existing floor covering down to the concrete slab below.

• Drill four (4) holes for the anchors 1 1/4” (3.2 cm) deep
into the concrete slab using a 3/16” masonry bit. This hole
length is longer than the anchor, but is required for proper
installation.

• Clear the holes of dust and any other material.

• Take a hammer and tap each anchor into the hole until the
anchor top is flush against the concrete slab.

• Place the anti-tip bracket on top of the anchors.

• Position the anti-tip bracket holes over the anchor holes,
and thread the screws into the anchors. Be sure the screw
threads fully engage the anchor body.

• Tighten the screws into place.

Attaching the Bracket to a Wood Floor:

If there is ceramic, asphalt, or another hard floor covering over
the wood, drill holes to allow access to the wood below for drilling
mounting holes.

Use the correct type of drill bit for the surface you will be drilling.

Once you have hit wooden flooring:

• Drill four (4) mounting holes into the wood using a drill bit
(1/16” dia. for #8 screws, 1/8” dia. for #12 screws).

• Position the anti-tip bracket holes over the holes in the floor.

• Insert the screws into the wood and tighten into place.

Installation Instructions

Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket to the Wall

1. Determine the suitability of wall mounting the anti-tip bracket.
To use the wall mount option, the range front panel (excluding
the bull nose) must not be more than 27 inches (68.6 cm)
from the wall, and the bracket screws must be able to thread
into the back wall’s interal base plate (see Inside the Back
Wall).

2. The notches on the sides of the bracket indicate the minimum
required height of the base plate and that any floor covering
is not too thick for proper screw thread engagement.

Determine if the Base Plate is High Enough:

The base plate is located on the floor, behind the wall. It will
anchor the anti-tip bracket (see Inside the Back Wall).

Find the range’s center line and front panel according to
the diagram below and the final installation cabinet / cutout
dimensions.

1. Find and mark the position of the anti-tip bracket, based on
the diagram below.

2. Push the bracket up against the wall and into position.

3. Determine if the base plate behind the wall (see Inside the
Back Wall) is tall enough to grab the screws.

• Using a pencil, mark a dot next to the notches on both sides
of the bracket. Drill just deep enough to see if the bit contacts
the base plate.

• When the drill bit contacts the base plate, you will know
screws in the anti-tip bracket will also contact the base plate.
This setup is successful.

• If the drill bit does not contact the base plate, the wall
mounting method should not be used. The floor mounting
method is more suitable, or the wall must be modified so that
the base plate can be accessed or anchors can be used.

Connecting the Gas

WARNING

• Make sure the gas supply valve is off and that the power
cord to the range is disconnected prior to connecting the
gas line.

• Do not apply excessive pressure when tightening gas
connections and fittings.

• Do not use Teflon tape or plumber’s putty on gas flex line
connections.

• For LP installations, the LP gas tank must have its own
high pressure regulator. This is in addition to the pressure
regulator provided with the range.

• The maximum gas supply pressure to the regulator must
never exceed 1/2 pound per square inch (psi) or 3.5 kPa.

• The range and shut-off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping during any pressure testing exceeding 1/2
psi (3.5 kPa).

• The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping by
closing the shut-off valve during any pressure testing at or
below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

• Check all gas lines for leaks as instructed to avoid a fire or
explosion hazard. Do not use a flame to check for leaks.

NOTE: The gas pressure regulator is pre-set at the factory for the
type of gas intended for use with the appliance.

To verify that the appliance is compatible with the type of gas
available, check the range rating label (see inside cover for
location). Ranges intended for use with LP gas will have “LP” as a
part of the model number. Consult your dealer if the range is not
compatible with the type of gas being supplied.

Before Sliding the Range into Position:

1. Make sure the gas supply valve is OFF, and power to the
range is OFF.

2. Connect a flexible gas supply line to the gas shut-off valve.
This gas line needs to be long enough to allow the range
enough distance to be pulled out for service.

3. Slide the gas line up through the range’s access holes in the
back of chassis and up to the regulator. Move the wires tht
are inside the access holes to prevent them from catching on
the gas line as you maneuver the gas line.

4. Connect the gas line to the regulator.

5. Turn all cooktop control valves to OFF.

6. Turn the gas supply
ON.

7. Check all lines and
connections for
leaks using a soap
and water solution.

8. After verifying that
there are no gas
leaks, turn the
gas supply valve
connected to the
range to OFF.

Assembling the Cooktop

WARNING

Never attempt to operate the range’s cooktop with any of the
burner rings, burner caps or grates removed.

Installing the Burners

There are two types of burners: the Simmer-Sear burner (left) and
the Standard burner (right). Refer to the illustrations and STEPS
below when intalling the burners and grates.

• Either type (color) of the burner caps may be used.

• When installing the burner components, twist each piece
back and forth slightly until it drops securely into place.

• The burners will not operate properly unless all of the burner
pieces are properly seated.

• Gently set the grates on top of the spill tray, and fit the legs of
each grate into its corresponding notch.

Installation Instructions

Verifying the Correct Setup

Before using the range, read the accompanying Use and Care
Manual completely. It contains Important safety, service, and
warranty information.

1. Before beginning this test procedure, ensure that all cooktop

control valves are OFF, and all burner rings, burner caps, and
grates are properly placed on the cooktop.

2. Turn the gas supply ON at the shut-off valve.

3. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. When the range
is first connected, the oven indicator light flashes for about 10
seconds while the range’s circuitry begins.

4. Wait for the light to stop flashing before going to Step 5.

IGNITION TEST:

5. Test a burner by pushing the knob and turning it to HIGH.

• It may take up to FOUR seconds for ignition, at which time
the ignitor will stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within
FOUR seconds:

• turn the knob to OFF, wait for at least five minutes to

allow any gas to dissipate, then repeat the ignition test.

6. After ignition, rotate the control
knob from HIGH to LOW to adjust
the flame.

When the range is correctly
installed, the flame will be steady
and quiet. It will also have a
sharp, blue inner cone that will
vary in length proportional to
the burner size. Dacor’s Smart
Flame™ feature reduces the
flame under the grate to increase
the life of the grate. If the range is equipped for
use with LP gas, the ends of the flame may be
yellow, which is normal.

7. Turn the control knob to OFF.

8. Repeat the ignition test for all the remaining
burners. After testing, turn them off.

9. Open the oven door(s). Test the oven light(s) by turning the
light switch(s) on the control panel.

10. Turn on the convection fan switch(s). You should hear the
convection fan, located behind the screen at the back of the
oven, come on.

11. With the oven door open, turn the oven temperature setting
to 400 °F. Both the knob and the oven ON indicator light next
to the knob should illuminate. Within 60 seconds, you should
hear the bake burner ignite below the oven floor. It should
begin to give off heat.

12. Turn the oven control knob to the BROIL position. The bake
burner should turn off. Both the oven control knob and the
oven ON indicator light should be illuminated.

13. Within 60 seconds the IR burner on the ceiling of the oven
should ignite and begin to give off heat.

14. Turn the oven knob to the OFF position.
