Oven Convection Filter
WARNING
The convection filter is made of stainless steel.
•
Remove it only when it is cool.
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.
Remove the filter regularly for cleaning. A
•
clogged filter will reduce the effectiveness of
convection cooking modes. Soak it in hot soapy
water. Dry it completely before re-installing.
Convection Filter Removal
Also, it is best to remove the filter during self-
•
cleaning. When the filter is left in the oven
during self-clean, it will permanently discolor.
To reinstall the filter, orient it so that the two
•
mounting tabs are towards the rear of the oven
chamber, open end down. Hook the two mount-
ing tabs over the center horizontal bar.

Care and Cleaning
Manual Cleaning (Continued)
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 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.
IMPORTANT:
If commercially available stainless
steel cleaners are used, it is important to read the
labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a cor-
rosive substance. If these compounds are present,
rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Porcelain Surfaces
IMPORTANT:
The oven interior inner door liners
and cooktop spill trays 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. Always remove excess grease
and soil from the oven interior and door prior to
using the self-clean cycle.
Brass, Chrome and Copper Surfaces
Clean brass, chrome and copper surfaces the same
way as stainless steel surfaces (see above).
Oven Racks
The oven racks 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.
IMPORTANT:
Remove the racks during self-clean-
ing. If racks are left in the oven during self-cleaning,
they will permanently discolor.
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.
