Care and Cleaning
After the self clean cycle is complete:
• The door latch will release when the inside has cooled
down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON” will disap-
pear from the display. Exercise caution because the
oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the
door lock is released.
• Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before
using your oven.
• You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom
of the oven after self cleaning. This is normal. Use a
damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the
oven cools down.
Self Cleaning Tips
• If any soil remains in the oven after the self clean
cycle is done, you may repeat the cycle if you want.
• Self clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil
build-up. Doing so will make the self clean cycle work
better and reduce smoke and odors.
Setting the Oven to Self Clean at a Later Time
1. Prepare the oven for self cleaning as instructed on
page 22. Observe all safety precautions and remove
all items listed from inside the oven. Clean the door
gasket and around the door as instructed.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Press the SELF CLEAN key.
4. Press the START TIME key.
5. Enter the desired start time. For example, press 1-2-
3-0 for 12:30. You may enter a time up to 22 hours
and 59 minutes ahead of the present time.
6. Press START.
7. When you press START, “Delay” will appear on the
display and the oven door will lock. The oven will start
to self clean at the time you have selected.
While the oven is set to clean at a later time:
• If you want the display to return to the clock, you
may push the CLOCK key.
• If the clock is displayed, you may push the START
TIME key to check the self clean start time.
• When self clean starts, “Delay” will disappear and
“ON” will appear on the display.
To cancel the time delayed self clean cycle:
• Press CANCEL · SECURE.
• If the self clean process has not started, allow about
a minute for the door to unlock before attempting to
use the oven.
• If the oven is in the middle of the self clean process,
the door will unlock when the oven has cooled down
enough to open safely. The oven will still be hot
(about 400 °F).
Cleaning the Cooktop Glass
WARNING
• Be sure all surfaces are cool before cleaning the
cooktop.
• Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while
the surface is hot. The resulting fumes can be
hazardous. Heating the cleaner can also chemically
attack and damage the surface. Use only the
included razor blade scraper when the cooking
surface is hot.
Clean the cooking surface daily. The cooking surface must
be completely cool during cleaning, except when using the
included razor blade scraper. Use the razor blade scraper
to remove dryed sugar, sugar syrups, tomato products
and milk.
Daily Cleaning Techniques
Make sure the cooktop is cool, then wipe off spatters
with a clean, damp cloth. Use white vinegar if smudges
remain, then, rinse. Then apply Dacor Cooktop Cleaning
Creme (see below).
Recommended Cleaners for the Cooktop Glass
Use only a small amount; apply to a clean paper towel or
cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff with a clean dry towel.
• Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme
• BonAmi
®
(for rinse and dry) *
• Soft Scrub
®
(without bleach, for rinse and dry) *
• White vinegar (without bleach, for rinse and dry)
* NOTE: Recommended cleaner indicates a type of
cleaner and does not constitute an endorsement.
Avoid these cleaners when cleaning the cooktop
• Glass cleaners which contain ammoniac or chlorine
bleach. These ingredients may permanently etch or
stain the cooktop.
• Caustic cleaners; oven cleaners such as Easy Off
®
may etch the cooktop’s glass surface.
• Abrasive cleaners; metal scouring pads and scrub
sponges such as Scotch Brite can scratch and/or leave
metal marks. Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS
®
can scratch the surface.
• Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can per-
manently stain the cooktop.
• Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.
Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme
Apply (only) a small amount of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning
Creme on a daily basis. It provides a protective film that
makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The
temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective
qualities of this cleaner over time. It must be reapplied
before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply cooktop
cleaning crème to remove dust or metal marks that can
occur on the counter level surface between uses.
