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. Grate Backguard Spill tray Burner SPILL TRAY: The spill tray catches any food that falls through the cooktop grates. Trim ring GRATES: The porcelain coated cast iron grates support the cooking utensils during cooking.

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.
Setting Up the Range Assembling the Cooktop The burner rings spread the flame evenly around 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. 3.
Setting Up the Range Installing the Oven Racks Installing a GlideRack™ Oven Rack These special racks let you effortlessly move heavy cookware in/out of the oven. WARNING 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.
Operating the Range Burning-in the Oven 2. Open windows and turn on the range hood to allow the odors and smoke to escape. When the oven comes from the factory, residue for certain materials used in the manufacturing process are left on the parts of the oven. These residues should be “burned off” before the oven is used for the first time. 3. Turn the oven to the BROIL setting for 10 minutes. It is normal for odors and smoke to come out of the vent slot on the backguard during this process. 4.
Operating the Range Before You Use the Cooktop Using the Griddle • Normal flame are steady and blue. Foreign matter in the gas line (especially new construction), may cause an orange flame that corrects itself with use. For LP gas, yellow-tipped flames are normal. • See Page 3 for the burners’ heat ranges. • Food cooks as quickly at a gentle boil as at a rolling boil. Stronger boils waste energy and cook moisture, flavor, and nutrients out of the food.
Operating the Range Oven Operation IMPORTANT: WARNING Do not touch any of the surfaces inside the oven during or immediately after use. Overview of oven cooking modes (see page 13 for CLEAN setting): Bake • Before starting the oven, position the oven rack(s) at the proper height(s). If the oven is warm, use potholders for safety. • Condensation may appear on the oven window or the backguard during the first 10 minutes of operation. This condition is normal.
Operating the Range Broiling Baking Tips 1. Adjust the rack position based on the food thickness. Dacor recommends rack levels 4 or 5. All Baking Modes • Do not open the oven door frequently when baking. Check progress via the door window when possible. • Use a timer to time baking functions. • Wait until the shortest suggested cook time before checking food. For cakes, a toothpick into the center should emerge clean when food is done.
Operating the Range Bakeware Tips Roasting Tips • Dacor’s optional full-size cookie sheets let you make best use of rack space. See Parts and Accessories for ordering details. • Use the recipe’s pan type and size for best results. • Bake cake, quick bread, muffins, and cookies in bright, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. • Bake cookies, biscuits, and cream puffs on medium-gauge aluminum sheets with low sides. • Bake most frozen foods in their original containers on a cookie sheet.
Operating the Range High-Altitude Cooking Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. Therefore, recipe adjustments should be made in some cases. In general, no recipe adjustment is necessary for yeast-risen baked goods, although allowing the dough or batter to rise twice before the final pan rising develops a better flavor. Try making the adjustments below for successful recipes. Take note of the changes that work best and mark your recipes accordingly.
Care and Cleaning Important Things to Know About the Self Clean Process WARNING • Clean only the parts of the range listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified. • During self clean, the oven is heated to a very high temperature which burns off any deposits on the inside surfaces of the oven. Self-cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. The oven will run better, will provide better baked goods and produce less smoke and odors when it is clean.
Care and Cleaning • Cooktop Disassembly and Cleaning If you want to stop the self clean process before it is complete, turn the oven control knob to the OFF position. If the oven temperature is 600°F (315°C) or below, the door latch will release after a several seconds. Otherwise, the oven door will remain locked until the temperature cools to below 600°F. 1. Disconnect the power cord. 2. When the range is cool, remove the grates from the range. After the Self Clean process is complete...
Care and Cleaning Cooktop Cleaning (cont.) Stainless Steel Surfaces Cleaning the Igniters and Other Burner Components CAUTION To prevent damage, wipe stainless steel surfaces only in the direction of the grain. WARNING The outside surfaces of the range are covered with stainless steel. Clean these surfaces with Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner (see page 19 to reorder). Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain.
Care and Cleaning Cleaning the Knobs and Trim Rings 3. Clean the outside edges of the trim rings while the knobs are removed. Wipe them with a soft damp rag. WARNING 4. Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of warm soapy water. Dacor recommends hand dishwashing liquid. • Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and spill protector rings in place. • Do not soak the knobs and spill protector rings in water or place them in a dishwasher. 5.
Care and Cleaning Replacing the Oven Light Oven Racks CAUTION WARNING To prevent damage, do not leave the oven racks inside the oven during the self clean process. • To prevent an electrical shock hazard and/or personal injury, make sure that power to the range has been disconnected and that the light fixture is cool before replacing the light bulb. The oven racks are chrome-plated. To clean, apply a solution of detergent and hot water.
