Important information
Important information
Clean the oven thoroughly before using it for the first time. Then, remove the accessories,
set the oven to Bake, and then run the oven at 400 °F for 1 hour. There will be a
distinctive odor. This is normal.
Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.
Energy-saving
• During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn food over.
Do not open the door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven temperature and
to save energy.
• If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, you can switch the oven off 5-10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time to save energy. The residual heat will complete the
cooking process.
• To save energy and reduce the time needed for re-heating the oven, plan oven use to
avoid turning the oven off between cooking one item and the next.
• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.

California proposition 65 warning
WARNING
Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
For your safety
When using electrical appliances, you should follow basic safety precautions, including the
following:
CAUTION
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
• Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, and
crevices around the oven door.
Proper Installation - Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
User servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Always disconnect the power to the appliance before servicing by removing the
fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
• Do not enter the oven.
• Do not leave children alone. Never leave children alone or unattended in an area
where this appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Turn off the oven to avoid spreading the
flames. Smother the fire or flames by closing the door or use a dry chemical,
baking soda, or foam-type extinguisher.
• Avoid scratching or striking the glass doors and the control panel. Doing so may
lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire,
or cuts may occur.

English 11
Safety information
• If there is a fire in the oven during self-cleaning, turn the oven off and wait for
the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. The introduction of fresh air at
self-cleaning temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in severe burns.
• If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the oven before using the oven
again. Leaving the oil in place creates a risk of fire.
• Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom with a paper tower or rag before self-
cleaning. Self-cleaning the oven when there is heavy soil on the oven bottom
requires longer cleaning cycles and produces more smoke.
• Storage in or on the appliance. Do not store flammable materials in the oven
or near the surface units. Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it. Keep plastics, clothes, and paper away from parts
of the appliance that may become hot.
• Wear proper apparel. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using
the appliance.
• Use only dry potholders. Placing moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the oven.
• For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet cleaners to
clean any part of the oven.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid creating a hazard.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Electrical safety
• Use only the factory installed flexible power cord to connect to the power supply.
Do not use a 3rd-party power-supply cord kit.
• The appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Repairs
carried out by unqualified individuals may cause injury or a serious malfunction.
If your appliance is in need of repair, contact a Dacor authorized service center.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage and void the warranty.
• Flush-mounted appliances may be operated only after they have been installed
in cabinets and workplaces that conform to the relevant standards. This ensures
that the appliances are installed in compliance with the appropriate safety
standards.
• If your appliance malfunctions or if fractures, cracks, or splits appear:
- Switch off the oven.
- Unplug the oven from the AC wall outlet.
- Contact your local Dacor Customer Service.
WARNING
Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility
of electric shock.

WARNING
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without the
adequate supervision of a responsible adult.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• Keep children away from the door when opening or closing it as they may bump
themselves on the door or catch their fingers in the door.
• During self-cleaning, the surfaces may get hotter than usual. Keep small children away
from the oven when it is in the self-cleaning mode.

kept away.

English 13
Safety information
Oven
• DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the heating
elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
the oven door, and the window of the oven door.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. The buildup of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, newspapers can catch fire.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Use care when opening the door. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove
food from or put food into the oven.
• Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottoms, except as
suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located above the right
rear surface unit. This area could become hot during oven use. Never block this
vent or place plastic or heat-sensitive items on it.
• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven racks in the desired location while
the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, use potholders.
Do not let the potholders come in contact with the hot heating element in the
oven.
• Do not allow aluminum foil or a meat probe to contact the heating elements.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass. They can scratch the surface which may result in the glass shattering.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure.
If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
returns, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or
spoil.

Self-cleaning ovens
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
• Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds.
Move birds to a well-ventilated room.
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual in the self-clean cycle. Before self-
cleaning the oven, remove the divider, rack, utensils, and any food.
• Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from the oven.
Excessive amounts of grease may ignite, leading to smoke damage to your home.
• Do not use any commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind in or on the outside of the oven.
• Remove the nickel oven shelves from the oven before you begin the self-
cleaning cycle or they may discolor.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
• Excess spillage must be removed before you run the self-cleaning cycle.
Ventilating hood
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Do not let grease accumulate on the hood or
