Installation Instructions
Verifying Proper Operation
Before operating the range, read the accompanying use and
care manual completely. It contains Important safety, service and
warranty information.
1. Before beginning the test procedure, ensure that all cooktop
control valves are in the
OFF
position, and all burner rings,
burner caps, and grates are properly positioned on the
cooktop frame.
2. Turn on the gas supply at the shut-off valve.
3. Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet. When the
range is first connected, the oven indicator light flashes on
and off for about 10 seconds while the range’s circuitry starts
up. Wait for the light to stop flashing before going to step 4.
4. Test one of the burners by pushing the knob in and turning
it counterclockwise to the
HIGH
position. It may take up to
four seconds for ignition to occur, at which time the ignitor will
stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within four seconds,
turn off the knob, wait for at least five minutes to allow any
gas to dissipate, then repeat the ignition test. After ignition,
rotate the control knob counterclockwise from
HIGH
to
LOW
to adjust the flame height progressively. When the range is
installed properly, the flame will
be steady and quiet. It will also
have a sharp, blue inner cone that
will vary in length proportional to
the burner size. Dacor’s Smart
Flame™ feature reduces the flame
under the grate fingers to increase
grate life. If the range is equipped
for use with LP gas, the ends of
the flame may be yellow at the
tips, which is normal.
5. Turn the control knob to the
OFF
position.
6. Repeat the ignition test for all remaining burners.
After testing all the cooktop burners, turn them off.
7. Open the oven door(s). Test the oven light(s) by
turning on the light switch(s) on the control panel.
8. Turn on the convection fan switch(s). You should hear the
convection fan, located behind the screen at the back of the
oven, come on.
9. With the oven door open, turn the oven control knob to the
400 degree position. Both the knob itself and the oven ON
indicator light next to the knob should illuminate. Within 60
seconds you should hear the bake burner ignite below the
oven floor. It should begin to give off heat.
10. Turn the oven control knob to the BROIL position. The bake
burner should turn off. Both the oven control knob and the
oven ON indicator light should be illuminated.
11. Within 60 seconds the IR burner on the ceiling of the oven
should ignite and begin to give off heat.
12. Turn the oven knob to the “OFF” position. On model
RNRP48G, test both ovens.
If the range does not operate properly, follow these
troubleshooting steps:
1. Verify that power and gas are supplied to the range.
2. Check the electrical connections and gas supply to ensure
that the installation has been completed correctly.
3. Repeat the burner ignition test and/or oven test.
4. If the appliance still does not work, contact Dacor Distinctive
Service at (800) 793-0093 ex. 2822. Do not attempt to repair
the appliance yourself. Have the model and serial numbers
available when you call. See inside cover for location.
Dacor is not responsible for the cost of correcting problems
caused by a faulty installation.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Pull the range out from the wall
Reinstalling the Range After
Service
1. Push the range into operating position, making sure the anti-
tip bracket is engaged (see page 10).
2. Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet.
3. Turn the gas supply valve to the on position.
