Cleaning is best accomplished with a soft cloth
or sponge dampened in a solution of warm
water and hand dishwashing liquid
The control knobs provided with these ranges
are designed for ease of use and longevity. The
“D” shaped design of the knob shaft ensures
proper orientation when re-installing the knob.
Beneath each knob, a spill protector ring
prevents liquid spills from entering the control
panel.
WARNING:
Never block the holes in the control panel
below the knobs. This will impair the flow of
combustion air and adversely affects burner
operation, possibly creating a hazardous
condition.
The knobs should be washed regularly in
warm, soapy water. Hand dishwashing liquid
is excellent for this task. Knobs should be
removed by gently pulling them straight off of
the valve shafts. The spill protector rings should
be cleaned in place. Use caution to avoid

introduction of moisture into the control panel.
To replace knobs, align the “D-shaped” opening
at the bottom of the knob with the “D-shaped”
valve shaft, then carefully press the knob onto
the valve shaft.
IMPORTANT:
1. Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position
prior to removing them from the valve
stems.
2. The cooktop should never be operated
without the knobs and spill protector
rings in place.
3. Do not soak the knobs and spill
protector rings in water or place them in
the dishwasher.
4. Do not expose the knobs or spill
protector rings to direct flame, hot
utensils, or other sources of heat.
5. Do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaners or applicators. They could
cause permanent damage.
Burner Bases
The brass burner rings spread the flame evenly
around the burner perimeters. The burner rings
must seat properly in the burner bases to enable
proper cooktop operation. To ensure proper
seating, five positioning tabs have been placed
on the bottom of each burner ring to slide into
corresponding notches in the fixed burner base.
Burner Rings
The burner rings are made of brass. To remove
the burner ring, first lift off the porcelain burner
cap. The burner ring may then be removed from
the burner base. Soak the burner ring in a warm
solution of hand dishwashing liquid and water,
then rinse well with clean water. Dry the burner
ring thoroughly before placing it back on the
burner base.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying a
metal polishing compound.

Burner Ignitors
Under certain cooking or cleaning conditions,
your cooktop ignitors may become coated with
or corroded by food deposits, splattered grease
or cleaning agents. This condition can cause
erratic or continuous sparking. Keeping the
ignitors clean and dry will help to reduce this
problem.
To avoid unnecessary and costly service
calls, the homeowner should perform periodic
cleaning of the ignitors.
An Ignitor Cleaning Brush is enclosed for your
use in cleaning the cooktop ignitors.
To clean the ignitors:
1. Be sure burners are cool to the touch.
Remove the grate, burner cap and burner
rings.
2. Brush completely around the ignitor,
including over and under the edge of
the metal cap and base. Use care while
cleaning here. The ignitor is porcelain and
can be fragile.
3. DO NOT USE WATER when cleaning the
ignitors. If a liquid must be used to clean
the ignitor effectively, use a small amount
of rubbing alcohol.
4. After cleaning, reinstall the burner ring,
burner cap and grate. Make sure the brass
burner ring is properly seated into the
burner base.
Self-Cleaning
The electric door latch is a convenient safety
feature. The door latch is automatically activated
after selecting the Self-Clean mode. The latch
ensures that the oven door cannot be opened
while the interior oven temperatures are unsafe
to the user.
The oven features an automatic pyrolytic
Self-Cleaning cycle to eliminate the need for
difficult and time-consuming manual scrubbing
of interior surfaces. During this cycle, the oven
reaches extreme high temperatures to burn off
soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left
in the bottom of the oven after completion of the
Self-Clean cycle.
The Self-Clean time is variable from 2 to 4
hours to offer flexibility in handling various soil
conditions. A 2-hour cycle normally handles a
moderately soiled oven, whereas a 4-hour cycle
is recommended for a heavily soiled condition.
The Self-Clean cycle can also be delayed to
start at a later time if desired.
IMPORTANT:
1. It is normal for some smoke to be
emitted during the first few Self-Clean
cycles.
2. Popping sounds are normal during Self-
Clean cycles. These sounds are caused
by the expansion and contraction of
metal surfaces during heat-up and cool-
down.
3. Do not line the oven with aluminum
foil or other materials. These items can
melt or burn during a Self-Clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
4. If racks are left in the oven during a
Self-Clean cycle, it will affect their ability
to slide in and out easily. Polish the rack
edges with a soapy steel wool pad, then
apply a small amount of vegetable oil
to the edges so that the racks will slide
more easily.
5. If the door is not closed completely, the
automatic door latch will not be able
to lock the door when the Self-Clean
mode is selected. In this case, “door”
will flash in the clock display. If this
occurs, press the “CANCEL•SECURE”
pad and wait approximately 1 minute.
Repeat the Self-Clean steps from the
beginning, being certain to close the
door completely. Do not try to force
the door open after it is locked, as
the automatic latch can be damaged.
If you need to unlock the door, turn
off the Self-Clean cycle by pressing
the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad. After
approximately 1 minute, “LOCK” will
disappear from the clock display,
and the door will unlock. The door
will remain locked until the oven
temperature falls below 390˚F. Do not
select any cooking function until the
oven door is unlocked.
5. Test the burners. If erratic clicking is still
present, make sure the ignitor is completely
dry. If the unit still exhibits problems after
drying, call your local DACOR Authorized
Servicer.
