Control Panel

To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while

cleaning the control panel, activate the “Secure”

feature. Press and hold the “CANCEL•SECURE”

pad for approximately three seconds. This will

disable the control panel and allow cleaning

the controls without accidentally starting any

functions. “OFF” will appear in the display when

the control panel has been secured.

To re-activate the control panel, again push

and hold the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad for three

seconds. “OFF” will disappear from the display.

IMPORTANT:

Clean the control panel with a solution of

mild detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE

ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS.

THEY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE

FINISH. Dry the control panel completely

with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Door Handle & Control Housing

IMPORTANT:

Clean the door handle and control

panel housing with a solution of mild

detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry

with a soft cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE

CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL

PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH.

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.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

The control panel, door(s) bullnose and side

panels are covered with stainless steel. Clean

these surfaces with the provided Elco Stainless

Steel Cleaner. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free

cloth.

IMPORTANT:

If commercially available stainless steel

cleaners are used, it is important to read the

labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a

corrosive substance. If these compounds are

present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft,

lint-free cloth.

Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the

grain.

Porcelain Surfaces

IMPORTANT:

The oven interior and inner door liners are

finished in porcelain enamel. Clean these

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. Always remove excess

grease and soil from the oven interior and

door prior to using the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild

detergent and warm water. Rinse, dry and

polish with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Brass, Chrome & Copper Surfaces

IMPORTANT:

If a commercially available polish is used,

it is important to read the label for chlorine

compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive

substance and is not recommended for

use with brass or chrome finishes. If these

compounds are present, rinse surface

thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free

cloth. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for

application of polish.

Broiler Pan

The oven broiler pan is finished in porcelain

enamel. Clean both components in a solution

of detergent and hot water. For heavy soil

conditions, use a scouring pad such as steel

wool with plenty of water. Rinse well after

cleaning.

Oven Racks

Oven racks are chrome-plated. For everyday

cleaning, apply a solution of detergent and hot

water. To clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad

such as steel wool with plenty of water, or use a

solution of 1 cup ammonia to 2 gallons of water.

Remove racks during Self-Cleaning.

If racks

are left in the oven during self-cleaning, they

will permanently discolor.

Remove the filter only when it is cool.

Step 1: Orient the filter so that the two

Top Frame

Everyday cleaning of the cooktop surface is

best accomplished with a soft cloth or sponge

dampened in a solution of warm water and hand

dishwashing liquid.

Stubborn stains may be removed by applying

full-strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax

All-Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409, or Scotch

Guard.

IMPORTANT:

1. Never use the cooktop surface as a

cutting board.

2. Do not use abrasive cleaners or

applicators on the cooktop.

3. Do not try to remove heavy spills with

a sharp object such as a knife or metal

spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the

cooktop.

4. A small amount of baby oil may be

applied to stainless steel tops to restore

lustre.

Open Exhaust Cover

(On Selected Models Only)

Cleaning is best accomplished with a soft cloth

or sponge dampened in a solution of warm

water and hand dishwashing liquid

The convection fan filter is made of stainless

steel. Remove the filter regularly for cleaning,

as a clogged filter will reduce the effectiveness

of convection cooking modes. Soak the filter

in hot soapy water according to the package

directions. Dry the filter completely before

re-installing. Remove the filter during Self-

Cleaning. If the filter is left in the oven during

Self-Cleaning it will permanently discolor.

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.

3. Set the grates into the locating dimples

gently. Do not drop the grates into place.

4. Use caution when cooking to avoid spills

as much as possible. Porcelain is acid-

resistant but not acid-proof, so some foods

can cause permanent damage if allowed to

remain on porcelain surfaces.

Daily cleaning of the grates and burner caps is

best accomplished with a soft cloth or sponge

dampened in a solution of warm water and hand

dishwashing liquid. Grates and burner caps

should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Stubborn stains may be removed by applying

full-strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax

All-Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409, or Scotch

Guard. Metal polishing compounds such as

Luneta or Flitz may also be used. (If you are

unable to locate these cleaning compounds,

please phone the DACOR Customer Service

Department for a referral.)

Mildly abrasive cleaners or applicators, such

as S.O.S. Pads, soap-filled steel wool pads,

Soft Scrub, or Bon-Ami may be used with

extreme care on occasion to remove the most

serious stains.

Exercise caution – extensive

use of abrasives will eventually damage the

porcelain enamel surface.
