Cleaning the Oven Racks
CAUTION
To prevent damage, do not leave the oven racks inside the oven
during self-cleaning.
Clean these chrome-plated racks with detergent and hot water.
For heavy soil, use a scouring pad or the rough side of a sponge
with ample water or 1 cup of ammonia to 2 gallons of water.
Cleaning the Convection Filter
Clean the filter regularly. A clogged filter hinders air circulation
during convection cooking.
WARNING
• Handle the stainless-steel convection filter only when it is cool.
• Re-install the filter before using the oven; otherwise, the convection
fan, which spins at high speed, will pose an injury hazard.
1. With fingertips, grasp the filter, and push up with your thumb.
The filter unclips from the horizontal bar.

Cleaning the Burner Components
WARNING
Clean the igniters carefully. The porcelain is easily damaged.
The igniters will not work properly or perhaps not at all if they
and the burner rings and bases are not clean. After disassembling
the burners, check all parts (including igniters) for dirt/grime.
1. Clean all around the igniter, including the metal top and por-
celain base. (A firm toothbrush works well; do not use water;
use a small amount of rubbing alcohol to dissolve grime.)
2. With a paper clip or needle, carefully remove debris from the
burner-ring holes.
3. Clean the burner rings with window cleaner or rubbing alcohol
and a plastic-bristle brush or firm toothbrush.
4. Clean the burner caps with a solution of mild detergent and
hot water.
5. Rinse all parts in clean water; when all parts are thoroughly dry,
reassemble the cooktop (see Pg. 7 for details).
6. Plug in the range, and test the burners.
If the flame is uneven, verify proper burner assembly, and check
for dirt/grime. If clicking is erratic, ensure the igniter is fully dry.
If issues persist, call a Dacor-authorized service agent.
Cleaning Porcelain Surfaces
The oven chamber, oven-door interior, and spill tray have a
porcelain-enamel finish.
• Clean porcelain surfaces with mild detergent and hot water.
• Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use abrasives or commercial oven cleaners.
• Remove the rack supports to clean behind them more easily.
Cleaning the Control Knobs and Trim Rings
WARNING
• Only use the cooktop with the knobs and trim rings in place.
• Do not soak the knobs and rings in water or put them in a dishwasher.
• Do not expose the knobs to direct heat.
1. Turn off the burners, and unplug the range.
2. Pull off the control knobs, and wipe the outsides of the trim
rings with a soft, damp rag.
3. Wash the knobs in warm water
and dish soap, then rinse and
dry them thoroughly.
4. Align the opening on the back
of the knob with the valve
stem, and push the knob on
until it stops. (See the graphic
for locations.)
5. Plug in the range.
