• Do not use or light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch or use any electrical devices including the telephone in your building.
• From a neighbor’s phone, immediately call the gas supplier. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot contact the gas supplier, call the fire department.
• Do not return to the building until instructed to do so by the gas supplier or the fire department.
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 range. Do not store flammable or explosive materials in adjacent cabinets
or areas.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some
by-products that are on the list of substances which
are known by the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. California law requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances. To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the use and care
manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when
cooking with gas.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
WARNING
NEVER block or cover any slots, holes or passages
anywhere inside the oven or on the outside of the range.
Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and cooktop
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. Keep
all slots clear of grease and grime.

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:
WARNING
WARNING
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact
your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
• Do not cover the burners and grates with anything
except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers
may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop if a
burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in place.
• Make sure that the range has been properly installed
by a qualified installer according to the accompanying
installation instructions. Have the installer show you
the location of the gas shut off valve and the electrical
outlet so that you know where and how to turn off the
gas supply and disconnect power to the range.
• Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby
food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
plastic and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot
surfaces or gas burners.
• 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.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using

Installing the Oven Racks
Burning-in the Oven
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.
WARNING
The oven racks become hot when the oven is in use.
The rack supports provide six heights for positioning
of the oven racks.
To burn off the residues in the oven:
Three chrome-plated oven racks are provided.
Always remember to position the racks prior to
heating the oven.
1. Birds or other small pets may be sensitive to the
odors during first operation. Remove them to
another part of the house and close the door.
To install an oven rack:
2. Open windows and turn on the range hood to
allow the odors and smoke to escape.
1. Insert the end of the rack with the safety
notches into the oven first.
3. Turn the oven to the BROIL setting for 10 min-
utes. It is normal for odors and smoke to come
out of the vent slot on the backguard during this
process.
2. Attach both sides of the rack to the rack sup-
ports 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. After ten minutes, turn the oven control knob
down to 350˚F. Leave the oven at 350˚F for 30
minutes.
4. Push the rack all the way in with both hands.
5. After 30 minutes, turn off the oven. Close the
windows and turn off the range hood when the
odors and smoke finish clearing.
To remove an oven rack:
1. Grasp it with both hands and pull gently straight
out toward you until it stops.
2. 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.

Operating Your Range
Cooktop Operation
WARNING
• To avoid the chance of fire, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your range without the
burners completely and properly assembled (see page 6). The burner rings must be properly seated for proper burner
lighting and operation.
• To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles to a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also, handles
should not extend over adjacent burners. Always set utensils gently onto the grates and center them so that they are
well-balanced.
• Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do not drop
them on the grate.
• Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage to the coated surfaces on the grates.
• To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level
if it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. A flame
that extends up the sides of the utensil is potentially
dangerous.
• In the interest of safety, always light the burner before
putting the cooking utensil on the grate. Turn the
burner knob to the OFF position before removing the
utensil. Always check all the burner knobs to make
sure the range is OFF when you are finished cooking.
• Do not turn the knob farther than the HIGH position until lit. Doing so may result in a burst of flame that could cause
burns or damage to the surrounding area.
• Do not touch any part of the burner while the igniter is sparking. An electric shock could result.
• Never light the burners with a match or other open flame.
• If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or if the flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the knob to the OFF
position. Open a window and allow at least five minutes for the gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure.
Selecting the Cookware
Things to Know Before Using the Cooktop
For overall safety and best performance, select the
correct cooking utensil for the food being cooked.
Improperly selected cooking utensils will not cook
evenly or efficiently.
•
A normal flame is steady and blue in color. For-
eign material in the gas line, especially in new
construction, may cause an orange flame during
initial operation. This color will disappear with
further use. Small yellow tips on the ends of the
flames are normal when using LP gas.
Use cookware that:
•
•
•
Has flat, smooth bottoms.
Is well balanced.
•
•
See page 4 for the heat ranges of the different
burners.
Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and
steam in.
Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it
does at a vigorous, rolling boil. Maintaining a
higher boil than necessary wastes energy and
cooks moisture, food flavor, and nutrients out of
the food.
•
Use a low or medium flame when cooking with
utensils that are poor conductors of heat, such
as glass, ceramic or cast iron. Reduce the flame
until it covers approximately 1/3 of the utensil
diameter. Doing so will ensure even heating and
reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the
food.
IMPORTANT: Avoid spills as much as possible.
The porcelain surfaces of the grates, spill trays and
burner caps are acid-resistant but not acid-proof.
Some foods can cause permanent damage if allowed
to remain on porcelain surfaces.
•
Dacor’s SimmerSear feature allows you precision
control of the flame on the dual burner, from low
to high heat.

Operating Your Range
Lighting a Burner
Each burner control knob has a small dia-
gram next to it to tell you which burner it
operates.
1. Push in on the knob and turn it counter-clock-
wise to the HIGH position. The knob will illu-
minate and the igniter for the burner will spark
repeatedly until it lights. The spark makes a
“clicking” sound. The burner should light within
four seconds. The flame should burn evenly
around the perimeter of the burner, except
underneath each grate support finger, where the
flame height is reduced by Dacor’s Smart Flame
feature.
If the gas does not ignite after four seconds or
if the flame goes out and gas escapes, turn the
knob to the OFF position. Open a window and
allow at least two minutes for the gas to dissi-
pate. Repeat the lighting procedure.

If a burner still does not ignite, the igniter
continues to spark or if the flame is not spread
evenly around the burner cap, see the Before
You Call for Service section on page 18.

OR
LOW
2. Place the cooking utensil on the grate.
3. Adjust the flame to the level necessary to per-
form the desired cooking process.
IMPORTANT: When the cooktop is cool, the igniter
may continue to spark if the control knob is set to
the low position. The burner will stop sparking when
warm. The tendency to spark when cold can be
reduced by operating the burner at a higher flame
setting for about 60 seconds. After 60 seconds,
lower the flame to cook. The burner will also warm
up faster if a utensil is placed on the grate. The
igniter will also spark automatically if the flame is
distorted by a draft or by the household ventilation
system. Eliminate any drafts or reduce the ventila-
tion blower speed to reduce this type of problem.

Basic Oven Operation
You may use your oven to cook in one of the
following modes:
IMPORTANT:
•
Before starting the oven, position the oven
rack(s) at the proper height(s). If the oven is
warm, use potholders for safety.
™ Bake
The bake process uses the bottom oven burner
to provide conventional baking heat. Tempera-
tures may be set from 125˚F to 500˚F. Use the
standard bake mode for single rack baking.
IR broil burner igniter
™ Convection Bake
The convection bake process uses the standard
bake burner in combination with the convection
fan to circulate heated air evenly throughout the
oven chamber. Temperatures may be set from
125˚F to 500˚F. This type of baking is good for
single rack baking in a deep pan, multiple rack
baking and roasting.
™ Broil
•
•
Before using the oven for the first time, perform
the burn-in process on page 7.
The ceramic infrared (IR) gas burner on the oven
ceiling supplies the heat from the top for broil-
ing. Good for grilling smaller cuts of meat and
toasting breads. Broiling is always performed
with the door closed.
Condensation may appear on the oven window
or the backguard during the first 10 minutes of
operation. This condition is normal.
To Bake:
™ Convection Broil
1. Turn the oven control (center) knob on the con-
trol panel to the desired baking temperature. Do
not turn the knob all the way to the BROIL set-
ting. The oven ON indicator light will illuminate
to indicate the oven is on. Within 60 seconds,
the bake burner will ignite.
The convection broil process uses the (IR) gas
burner in combination with the convection fan
for better heat distribution. Convection broil is
good for items that do not need to be flipped
such as thinner cuts of meat, fish and garlic
bread. Convection broiling is always performed
with the door closed.
Oven burner light on control panel
WARNING
In broil and convection broil modes, high temperatures
(up to 555˚F) are present inside the oven. To avoid the
possibility of burns:
• Broil only with the oven door completely shut.
2. For best results, do not place food inside the
oven until the oven has preheated to the set
temperature. When pre-heated to the set tem-
perature, the oven ON indicator light will begin
to turn on and off every few seconds, because
the set temperature has been reached and the
oven is maintaining it.
• After turning the oven knob to BROIL, immediately
place the food in the oven and shut the door
completely.
CAUTION
Broiling is a quick cooking process (20 minutes
To Convection Bake:
maximum). The range is designed for consumer use
conditions only. Do not use it to broil continuously for
more than 45 minutes at a time. After 45 minutes in broil
mode, turn the oven off and allow it to cool for 30 minutes
before broiling again. Leaving the oven in the broil modes
for long periods of time may trip the oven’s thermal
protection circuit, requiring a service call to reset it.
1. Pre-heat the oven according to the Bake
instructions above.
2. Once pre-heated, place the food in the oven.
3. Close the oven door and turn the CONVECTION
FAN switch on the right side of the control panel

reduce spatter, smoke, and flare-ups.
•
The igniter for the IR broil burner on the ceiling
of the oven will glow orange periodically during
normal broil operation.
Baking Tips
Tips for All Baking Modes
•
•
Wait until the shortest recommended baking
time before checking food. For cakes, a wooden
pick placed in the center should come clean
when the food is done.
•
Do not open the oven door frequently during
baking. Look through the door window to check
the progress of baking whenever possible.
Measure ingredients carefully and follow tested
recipes for best baking results.
•
Use a timer to time baking functions.

Baking Tips (Continued)
Convection Bake Tips
•
Dacor’s optional full-sized cookie sheets maxi-
mize baking capabilities by utilizing the most
usable rack space. See the Accessories section
for ordering information.
•
As a general rule, convection bake will allow
preparation of most foods at reduced tempera-
tures for shorter periods of time, while also
producing superior results.
•
•
Use the pan size and type recommended by the
recipe to ensure best results.
Cakes, quick breads, muffins and cookies should
be baked in shiny, reflective pans for light,
golden crusts.
•
Typically you can reduce the standard tempera-
ture by 25˚F and cook for 10% less time. Baked
goods will have golden-brown crusts with flaky
textures, and meats will have crispy exteriors
with succulent juices sealed inside.
•
•
•
•
Medium gauge aluminum sheets with low sides
should be used when preparing cookies, biscuits
and cream puffs.
•
•
To convert conventional bake recipes to convec-
tion recipes, reduce temperature by 25˚F and
the cooking time by approximately 10%.
Bake most frozen foods in their original foil con-
tainers placed on a flat cookie sheet. Follow the
package recommendations.
Some recipes, especially those that are home-
made, may require adjustment and testing when
converting from standard to convection modes.
If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by
preparing the recipe in bake mode. After achiev-
ing acceptable results, follow the convection
guidelines listed. If the food is not prepared to
your satisfaction during the first convection trial,
adjust only one recipe variable at a time (such
as cooking time, rack position or temperature)
and repeat the convection test. If necessary,
continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time
until you achieve satisfactory results.
When using glass bakeware, reduce the recipe
temperature by 25˚F, except when baking pies
or yeast breads.
Follow the standard recipe baking time for pies
and yeast breads.
•
•
Avoid the use of old, darkened pans.
Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated
pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform
baking results.
•
Place pans carefully on the oven racks. Turn
pans on the racks so that the long sides run left
to right, parallel to the door.
About Convection Baking...
The Dacor convection cooking system distributes the
heated air evenly to ensure uniform results. It also
channels the air evenly into the oven, eliminating
any hot or cool spots.
Multiple Rack Baking
You can utilize more oven capacity due to the uni-
form air circulation provided by convection cooking.
Many foods, such as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits,
muffins, rolls and frozen convenience foods can be
successfully prepared on either two or three racks at
the same time. Also, complete meals can be pre-
pared by using multiple racks. See below for specific
recommendations.
AIR FLOW
MULTIPLE RACK BAKING TIPS
•
Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack
positions 2 and 4.
•
When adapting a single rack recipe to multiple
rack baking, it may be necessary to add to the
baking time. This is due to the extra amount of
food in the oven.

Operating Your Range
•
When using a meat thermometer, insert the
Broiling Tips
probe halfway into the center of the thickest
portion of the meat. For poultry, insert the ther-
mometer probe between the body and leg into
the thickest part of the inner thigh. To ensure
an accurate reading, the tip of the probe should
not touch bone, fat or gristle. Check the meat
temperature 2/3 of the way through the recom-
mended roasting time. After reading the meat
thermometer once, insert it 1/2 inch further into
the meat, then take a second reading. If the
second temperature registers below the first,
continue cooking the meat.
Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many
foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers
and fish.
It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be
present to give the food a broiled flavor.
•
•
•
Dacor recommends that you set a timer to time
the broiling process.
Start with a room temperature broiler pan for
even cooking.
Use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove
meats. Never pierce meat with a fork because
the natural juices will escape.
•
•
Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after
roasting in order to make carving easier.
Roasting times always vary according to the
size, shape and quality of meats and poultry.
Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in
bake mode and may require moist cooking tech-
niques. Follow your favorite cookbook recipes.
•
•
Broil food on the first side for a little more than
half of the recommended time, then season and
turn. Season the second side just before remov-
ing the food from the oven.
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler
grill. Excess grease will result in heavy smoke.
For easier cleaning, remove the broiler pan and
grill when the food is removed.
High Altitude Cooking
Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher
altitudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. There-
fore, recipe adjustments should be made in some
cases. In general, no recipe adjustment is neces-
sary 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 reci-
pes accordingly. You may also consult a cookbook on
high altitude cooking for specific recommendations.
Roasting Tips
•
Dacor’s optional roasting pan works particularly
well and two of them will fit side by side in your
30-inch oven.
•
For roasting, Dacor’s optional “V” shaped rack
and broil/roast pan works best to allow air circu-
lation around the food.

Care and Cleaning
Cooktop Disassembly and Cleaning
1. Disconnect the power cord.
Cleaning
WARNING
• Clean only the parts of the range listed in this manual.
2. When the range is cool, remove the grates from
the top of the cooktop.
Clean them only in the manner specified.
3. Disassemble the burners: Lift the burner caps
and burner rings off of the burner bases.
• To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your range’s
surfaces and accessories, use only the types of
cleaning solutions specified in this manual.
• To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners
and oven and make sure that all parts are cool before
cleaning. DO NOT turn the burners on during cleaning.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range. Steam
could penetrate the electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
• To reduce the chance of electric shock. Disconnect
the range power cord from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
CAUTION
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object
such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may
scratch your range’s surfaces.
• To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring
pads on any part of the range unless instructed to do
so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic
brush, or nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces
of your range.
To keep the range looking and operating its best,
clean it after every use. Also, wipe up spills that
occur while cooking quickly. Be careful not to touch
any hot areas.
Cooktop Disassembly
Grates and Spill Trays
If you allow spills to sit on hot burner parts, they
will burn on and be very difficult to clean. Certain
types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vin-
egar, alcohol and milk can damage the finishes if
you allow them to stand for any length of time.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use any of the cleaners
listed below to clean the burners and igniters. See
the facing page for burner and igniter cleaning
instructions.
The grates and spill tray are coated with a porcelain
finish.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely
high temperatures. The grates are under high
stress when hot utensils are placed on them. Also,
the range parts are occasionally exposed to acidic
food spill-overs. These severe operating conditions,
cause the porcelain enamel parts on your range to
undergo a change in appearance over time. If you
care for and clean these parts carefully, you will
slow down, but not eliminate, the aging process.
•
For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or non-
abrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all
of the porcelain parts.
•
If necessary, tough stains may be removed by
applying full-strength sprays such as Simple
Green™, Ajax™ All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula
409™. To minimize wear, use the mildest cleaner
needed to get the surface clean.
•
For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a
mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as
Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™, S.O.S.® pads or other
soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these cleaners
with extreme care and only on occasion. Exten-
sive use of these types of abrasives will eventu-
ally damage the finish.

fragile and can crack or break.
IMPORTANT: The igniters will not work properly
if the burner rings, burner bases or igniters are not
clean. Dirty or wet igniters may not spark at all.
Outer burner cap
After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt
or grime deposited on the individual parts, including
the igniters.
1. Using a firm toothbrush, clean completely
around the metal top and porcelain base of the
igniter. Use care while cleaning because the por-
celain is fragile and can crack or break. Do not
use water to clean the igniters. If necessary, use
a small amount of rubbing alcohol to help dis-
solve grime.

2. Examine the burner rings. Remove anything
stuck in the holes with a straightened paper
clip, wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch or
damage it. Do not distort the shape of the holes.
Dual Burner
(left front burner only)
3. Clean all the burner rings, with window cleaner
or rubbing alcohol. Use a cleaning brush with
plastic bristles or a firm tooth brush. When done,
rinse the parts well with clean water. Dry all the
parts thoroughly before re-assembling them.
4. Clean the burner caps with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water.

5. Reassemble the cooktop in the reverse order
(see page 6 for detailed instructions). Make sure
you line up the notches on the burner rings.
6. Re-connect the power cord and test the burners
after reassembling them. If the flame is uneven,
be sure that all the burner parts are properly
positioned, then check for any remaining dirt or
grime on the burner parts or igniter. If erratic
clicking is still present, make sure the igniter is
completely dry. If the unit still exhibits problems
after drying, call your local Dacor authorized
service agent.

WARNING
Clean brass, chrome and copper surfaces the same
way as stainless steel surfaces (see column one).
Porcelain Surfaces
The oven interior, the inner side of the oven door
and the spill tray are finished in porcelain enamel.
• Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and spill
protector rings in place.
Clean porcelain surfaces with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasives or commercial oven
cleaners. You may remove the rack supports to
clean the surfaces behind them more easily.
• Do not soak the knobs and spill protector rings in water
or place them in the dishwasher.
• Do not expose the knobs or spill protector rings to
direct flame, hot utensils or other sources of heat.
Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of warm
soapy water. Dacor recommends hand dishwashing
liquid. To clean:
Rack Support Removal
1. With the oven cool, pull straight out on the front
of the rack support, toward the center. The
mounting pins on the front of the rack should
disengage from the oven.
1. Disconnect power and turn the knobs to the off
position to remove them for cleaning or replace-
ment.
2. While holding the rack support at a 45˚ angle to
the side of the oven, gently pull forward to dis-
engage the rear mounting pins from the oven.
2. Grasp each knob and pull straight back, off of
the valve shaft.
3. Clean the outside edges of the trim rings while
the knobs are removed. Wipe them with a soft
damp rag.
4. To replace the knobs,
align the “D-shaped”
opening on the
back of the knob
with the end of the
valve shaft. Care-
fully push the knob
on until it stops. The
largest knob with
numbers on it is the
oven knob and goes

icon and the simmer (low) icon spaced further
apart than the other three. Place it on the valve
stem that is second from the left.
5. Reconnect the power cord.
Door Glass
Clean all glass surfaces with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water. Use a mild glass cleaner to
remove fingerprints or smears. Dry completely with
a soft, lint-free cloth.
2. Rotate the front of the rack towards the wall of
the oven. Slide the front rack pins into the front
mounting holes.
Oven Racks and Rack Supports
Stainless Steel Surfaces
•
See above for instructions on removing the rack
supports.
The control panel, the outside surface of the oven
door, the area around the outside of the cook-
top and the side panels are covered with stainless
steel. Clean these surfaces with the provided Dacor
Stainless Steel Cleaner. Rinse and dry with a soft,
lint-free cloth. Always wipe stainless steel surfaces
with the grain. A small amount of baby oil may be
applied to stainless steel tops to restore lustre.
•
The oven racks and rack supports are chrome-
plated. For everyday cleaning, apply a solution
of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy soil,
use the rough side of a sponge or a scouring pad
with plenty of water, or use a solution of 1 cup
ammonia to 2 gallons of water.

Care and Cleaning
IR (Infrared) Broil Burner
CAUTION
Replacing the Oven Light
WARNING
To prevent damage to the broil burner, do not spray the
burner or its igniter with any type of cleaner or attempt to
scrub them in any manner.
• 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 IR broil burner is self-cleaning. To burn off any
grime build-up, close the oven door and turn the
oven control knob to the BROIL position for about
ten minutes. After ten minutes turn the oven off.
• Always ensure that the lens cover is in place when
using the oven. The lens cover protects the bulb
from breakage caused by high oven temperatures or
mechanical shock.
Convection Filter (Oven)
• Replacing the lens cover without lining up the cutout
WARNING
with the light socket will damage the light fixture.
• The convection filter is made of stainless steel.
• Do not use a screwdriver to remove the lens.
Remove it only when it is cool.
Replacing a Light Bulb
• Re-install the filter before cooking in the oven again.
Failure to do so will expose the convection fan blade
that rotates at high speed during convection modes.
Light bulb replacement is considered a homeowner
maintenance operation. If the light does not work,
before replacing it, please consult the Problem
Solution Guide on page 18.
Convection Filter Removal and Cleaning
1. Replace the light bulb only with Dacor part
number 100429. See page 19 for ordering
information. IMPORTANT: Do not touch the
replacement halogen light bulb with your fingers.
Halogen bulbs are sensitive to the oils from your
hand. The oils from your hand will stick to the
bulb and may cause it to burn out faster than
normal.
•
Remove the filter regularly for cleaning. A
clogged filter will reduce the effectiveness of
convection cooking. Soak it in hot soapy water.
Dry it completely before re-installing.
2. Disconnect the range power cord from the elec-
trical outlet.
3. Remove the left rack support. See facing page.
