Care and Cleaning Cleaning (Continued) Knobs and Trim Rings WARNING • 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 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: 1. Disconnect power and turn the knobs to the off position to remove them for cleaning or replacement. 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. Brass, Chrome and Copper Surfaces 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. 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. 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. 2. While holding the rack support at a 45˚ angle to the side of the oven, gently pull forward to disengage the rear mounting pins from the oven. 4. To replace the knobs, align the "D-shaped" opening on the back of the knob with the end of the valve shaft. Carefully push the knob on until it stops. The largest knob with numbers on it is the oven knob and goes on the center valve stem. The dual burner knob has the high flame 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. Stainless Steel Surfaces The control panel, the outside surface of the oven door, the area around the outside of the cooktop 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. Rack Support Installation 1. One set of mounting pins on each rack support are straight, the other set is at an angle. The angular pins go toward the back of the oven. Insert them in the rear mounting holes while holding the rack support at a 45˚ angle to the side of the oven. To prevent damage, do not insert the rack support with the angular pins forward. 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 • See above for instructions on removing the rack supports. • The oven racks and rack supports are chromeplated. 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. 16
