warning
To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-
overs that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
CaUTiOn
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
warning
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be
burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish clothes or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
• Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊ You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
◊ The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
◊ The fire department is being called.
◊ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
warning
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,

manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
b) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off

Important Safety Instructions
• If you received a damaged product, immediately
contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use
a damaged product.
• Ensure that the unit is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Have the
installer show you where the fuse box or circuit
breaker panel is located so that you know how and
where to turn off power.
• Always be certain that nothing will interfere with the
vent intake.
• Use the vent system for its intended purpose only
as outlined in this manual.
• Clean the filters and all grease-laden surfaces often
to prevent grease fires and maintain performance.
• If the cooktop and vent hood are near a window,
use an appropriate window treatment. Avoid long
drapes or other window coverings that could blow
over the cooktop and vent hood, resulting in a fire
hazard.
• Always run the blower whenever a cooktop is
operating.
• Never operate the IVS without the filters in place.
• Do not operate the blower if a flame or flare-up
develops. In the event of a flame, immediately
turn off the blower. Smother the flame or use an
appropriate class dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
warning
• Never leave the appliance unattended when using
high heat settings. Boil-overs and greasy spills may
smoke and/or ignite.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the
area where the cooktop and hood are in use. Never
allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do
not let children play with a cooktop or vent hood.
• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children
above or at the back of the cooktop or vent, as they
could climb on the appliance to reach items and be
injured.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the IVS
unless specifically recommended in literature
accompanying it. All service should be referred to a
qualified technician.
• Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam
explosion may result. Also, avoid using wet pot
holders, sponges or clothes, as steam burn may
occur.

Operating Controls
warning
Do not operate the ventilation system without the filters
in place or with dirty, grease-laden filters.
Your Dacor IVS has two knobs that control the halogen
lights and the exhaust blower. Turning the knobs clock-
wise will turn on the lights and the blower. When turning
the lights or blower off, turn the knob counter-clockwise
until it clicks.
Blower Knob: The further clockwise you turn the knob
the faster the blower runs.
Light Knob: The further clockwise you turn the knob
the brighter the light. Turn the knob until you reach the
desired light level.
Operating Tips:
• Activate the blower a few minutes before starting to
cooktoestablishanairowpatternintheroom.
Operation
• Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and
weight of the cooking exhaust.
• Always activate the blower whenever using the cook-
ing appliance.
• Eliminate air currents in the vent vicinity by shut-
ting nearby windows and doors, turning off ceiling
fans and closing adjacent heating and air conditioning
outlets.
• Place your largest pans, skillets and stock pots on the
rear burners whenever possible.
Energy Saving Tips
• Do not operate the blower at a speed that is higher
than necessary to remove the cooking exhaust. Run-
ning at excessive speeds removes more air from the
inside of the house that must be replaced by outside
air. This may be especially costly when the housing air
conditioning or heating system is in operation.
• Cleanltersandgrease-ladensurfacesoftento
improveefciency.
• Turn off the blower as soon as all cooking smoke and
odors have been eliminated.
• Always use lids on cookware to retain heat and mois-
ture.
• Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.
• Select cookware of the proper size, material and con-
struction for the cooking task being performed.

Changing the Light Bulbs
The suction cup, part number 62408, supplied with the
IVS, is designed to assist in the removal and replace-
ment of the halogen light bulbs, should they burn out. To
remove a bulb, simply press the suction cup onto the face
of the bulb and unscrew in a counter-clockwise direction
(as you are facing the bulb). To install the new bulb, start
the new bulb in the socket in a clockwise direction by
turning a few times by hand, then attach the suction cup
to the face of the bulb and complete the installation. Keep
the suction cup in a safe place for future maintenance.
For replacement lamps, contact your Dacor parts distribu-
tor and order part number 62351.
CaUTiOn
If commercially available stainless steel cleaners are
used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine
compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance. If these
compounds are present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a
soft lint-free cloth. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for
application of polish.
Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain performance
and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation. The
frequency of cleaning should be adjusted according to the
type and amount of cooking. Best results will be achieved
by cleaning soiled components as soon as possible.
Theltersmustbecleanedregularly.Removeonelterat
atime,graspthelterhandleandgentlypushbackand
pull the front down.
Theltersmaybecleanedbyhandwashinginhotwater
with a mild detergent solution or by placing them in an
automaticdishwasher.Drythelterscompletelybefore
using them again.
STAINLESS STEEL, BRASS AND CHROME SURFACES
should be cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and
warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain. Never
wipeacrossthegrain.Aftercleaning,reinstallthelters
carefully.
