This Use &Care Manual is designed to enable

you to properly operate and maintain your new

range. Please keep this manual handy for easy

access and quick reference.

Additional information may be requested by

e-mailing, writing or phoning the DACOR

Customer Service Department. The address

and phone number of this department are listed

on the inside front cover of this manual.

I. Begin by ensuring proper installation and

grounding of the appliance by a qualified

technician according to the accompanying

Installation Instructions. Have the installer

show you where the fuse or junction box

and gas valve are located so that you

know how and where to turn oft the utilities.

If you smell gas, do not use the range.

Immediately turn oft the gas supply at the

shut oft valve, disconnect electrical power

to the unit at the fuse or junction box,

and contact the gas supplier or qualified

appliance technician.

2. Ensure that the range is used only by

those individuals who are able to operate it

properly.

3. Use the range only for cooking tasks

expected of a home oven as outlined in

this manual.

4. Properly clean and maintain the range as

recommended in this manual.

5. Use only dry potholders to avoid steam

burns when removing hot cookware.

6. Exercise caution when opening the oven

door. Let hot air or steam escape before

looking or reaching into the oven.

7. Allow the oven cool air intake (located at

the door handle) to remain unobstructed at

all times.

8. Position oven racks in desired locations

when the oven is cool. (If a rack must be

repositioned after the oven is already hot,

be certain that the potholder does not

contact a hot heating element in the oven.)

9. Before Self-Cleaning the oven, remove the

broiler grill and pan, oven racks, convection

fan filter and any other utensils.

10. Clean only those parts listed in this

manual.

I1. In the event that a burner flame goes out

and gas escapes, turn off the gas control

and open a window or door. Wait at least

5 minutes before attempting to use the

cooktop.

12. Select utensils of the proper size, material,

and construction for the particular type of

cooking being done. Select utensils that

are large enough to contain the desired

quantity of food without boil-overs or spill-

overs. Choose pans with easy to hold

handles that will stay cool while cooking.

Do not use utensils with loose handles.

Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift

safely. Use cookware only for its intended

purpose. Certain types of glass, ceramic,

and earthenware utensils are suitable for

use only in an oven and not in cooktop

applications.

13. When cooking, set the burner controls so

that the flame heats only the bottom of the

utensil and does not lick at the sides of the

utensil.

14. When deep fat frying, be certain that the

pan is large enough to contain the desired

volume of food without overflow caused by

bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat

fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat frying of

moist or frost-covered foods, as foods with

high water content may cause spattering or

spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat slowly, and

stir together any combinations of oils and

fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep

fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the

fat to temperatures above the flash point.

15. Always turn pan handles to the side or

back of the range. Do not turn handles

towards the room where they are easily hit.

Handles should not extend over adjacent

burners.

16. Always check the positions of the control

knobs to make sure the cooktop is oft when

you are finished cooking.

17. Before performing any service, turn off the

gas supply by closing the gas shut-off valve

and turning off electrical power supply.

18. Always light each burner prior to placing a

utensil on the burner grate. Also, turn the

control knob to the "oft" position before

removing a utensil from the burner grate.

19. Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If

using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until

the cooktop has cooled sufficiently to

prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners

can produce harmful or unpleasant fumes if

applied to hot surfaces.

20. Keep any ventilation filters clean to avoid

grease fires.

If you received a damaged product,

immediately contact your dealer or builder.

Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

Your new oven has the best cooking system

available today, "Pure Convection TM''.Pure

Convection TM is a total system approach to

cooking. The heat source is a third element

outside the cooking cell behind a "baffle." Not

onty does the baffle separate the food from

the heat source, it channels the air from the

"Convection Fan" evenly into the cell eliminating

any hot or cool spots in the oven. This system is

what allows multi-rack cooking while achieving

even results from one rack to another.

The other component in Pure Convection TM is

the "Filter." The filter eliminates the transference

of flavors when cooking entire meals and atso

keeps the oven cleaner

@@@@@ "°

Heated Air Circulation Pattern in Convection Modes

Follow these two steps to set the correct

time of day:

1. Press the "CLOCK" touch pad. The time

of day will flash, "AM" or "PM" will be

displayed, and "TIME" wilt flash in the

display.

2. Press the touch pad "+" or "-" until the

correct time of day is displayed and

release.

All oven modes are described below:

_ TANDARD BAKE (Selected Models

Only) - In Standard Bake mode,

the bottom heat element provides

conventional baking heat• Temperatures

may be set from 135° to 555°F in 5F

increments• Use Standard Bake for single

rack baking and roasting•

_ STANDARD BROIL - The Infrared

Ceramic Gas Broiler supplies the heat

in Broil mode• The high wattage, top

heating element supplies the heat in

Broil mode in the ERD48 left oven only.

The broil temperature is adjustable from

135°F, to the "HI" setting (equivalent

to 5551) for greater cooking flexibility.

Broiling is performed with the door

closed.

tothe"HI" setting (equivalent to 555F)

for greater cooking flexibility. Broiling is

performed with the door closed.

[]_ URE CONVECTION TM (ERD models

only) - In Pure Convection TM mode a

third heating element, encircling the

convection fan located in the rear of the

oven chamber, acts as the heat source.

The convection fan draws air from the

oven chamber, then forces it across

the hot convection heating element.

The heated air is directed back into the

oven chamber through the convection

baffle. The baffle distributes the heated

air evenly to ensure uniform results.

Temperatures may be set from 135

to 555°F in 5F increments. Use this

mode for single rack baking, multiple

rack baking, roasting, and preparation of

complete meals.

[_ CONVECTION BAKE - In this

combination convection-radiant mode,

the lower element provides the heat.

As in Pure Convection TM mode, the

convection fan and baffle combine to

circulate heated air evenly throughout the

oven chamber. Temperatures may be set

from 135F to 555°F in 5°F increments.

Use this mode for single rack baking,

multiple rack baking and roasting.

_ SELF-CLEAN - In the pyrolytic Self-

Clean mode, the oven reaches extreme

high temperatures, thereby burning off

oven soil automatically. The Self-Clean

time is adjustable up to four hours so

that varying degrees of oven soil can

be successfully removed. Also, the Self-

Clean cycle can be delayed to start at a

later time if desired

Three chrome-plated oven racks are provided.

Always remember to position the racks prior to

heating the oven. Also, remove the oven racks

prior to self-cleaning to prevent permanent

discoloration of the racks

The porcelain rack supports provide five (5)

heights for positioning of the oven racks.

To install a rack, align the left and right edges of

the rack with the horizontal guide rails of the rack

supports, then slide the rack into the oven

Oven Rack Positions

The oven features an automatic Preheat cycle

that rapidly brings the oven chamber up to

temperature. Simply by choosing a cooking

mode and setting a temperature, the oven will

automatically perform the Preheat function. The

Preheat cycle operates in Standard Bake, Pure

Convection TM and Convection Bake modes.

There is no Preheat cycle for the Broil or

Convection Broil modes.

NOTE:

Allowing the oven to completely pre-heat

prior to placing food in the oven will avoid

excessive browning of the food. After the

oven signals that the pre-heat is complete,

allow 3-5 more minutes for the heat patterns

to normalize in the oven and then place your

food inside.

The clock features two timers that may be used

for time cooking or other processes up to 11

hours, 50 minutes in length.

To use the Minute Timer function, follow

these steps:

1. Press the touch pad labeled "TIMER 1", or

"TIMER 2". The clock wilt display "00:O0",

and "TIMER 1", or

"TIMER 2" will flash.

2. Press the %" pad until the desired time is

displayed on the clock.

3. After "TIMER 1" has expired, the clock

will sound off with one second beeps and

"TIMER I" will appear in the display. After

the "TIMER 2" minute timer has expired,

the clock wilt sound alternating one and

two second beeps and "TIMER 2" will

appear in the display. The beeper can be

silenced by pressing the "TIMER" touch

pad while the beeper is sounding.

{_ IMPORTANT:

Cancellation of the Minute Timer does not

turn off the oven if it is operating. You must

manuamly shut the oven off by pressing the

"CANCEL,SECURE" touch pad. (See the

Delay Timed Cooking section on page 7for

automatic oven turn on and turn off.)

_ NOTES:

1. To view the current time of day rather

than the remaining time on the Minute

Timer, just press the "CLOCK" touch

pad. To change back to a Minute Timer

display, press the "TIMER 1" or "TIMER

2" touch pad.

2. To cancel the Minute Timer while in

progress, press the "TIMER ! or 2"

touch pad two times. The clock display

will return to the time of day.

3. The Minute Timers may be used at the

same time as Delay Timed Cooking or

Self-Clean.

4. The Minute Timers wil! beep for 2

minutes (if not cancelled) before

automatically shutting off.

5. Pressing the "CANCEL,SECURE"

pad when the beeper is sounding will

cancel both the beeper and the cooking

function.

To avoid accidentally turning the oven on,

activate the "SECURE" feature. Press and hold

Baking ]

Your DACOR range offers two convection

baking modes: Pure Convection TM or

Convection Bake.

As a general rule, a convection mode

will allow preparation of most foods at

reduced temperatures for shorter periods

of time, while also producing superior

results. Typically you can reduce standard

temperature by 25°F and cook for 10% less

time. Baked goods will have golden-brown

crusts with flaky textures, and meats will have

crispy exteriors with succulent juices sealed

inside.

To convert Conventional Bake recipes to

our convection recipes, reduce temperature

by 25°F and the cooking time by

approximately I0%.

2. Some recipes, especially those that are

homemade, may require adjustment and

testing when converting from standard

to convection modes. If unsure how to

convert a recipe, begin by preparing the

recipe in Bake mode. After achieving

acceptable results this way, follow the

Convection guidelines listed, if the food is

not prepared to your satisfaction during this

first Convection trial, adjust only one recipe

variable at a time (such as cooking time,

rack position or temperature) and repeat

the convection test. tf necessary, continue

adjusting one recipe variable at a time until

satisfactory results are achieved.

3. Do not open the oven door frequently

during baking. Look through the door

window to check the progress of baking

whenever possible.

4. Use the Minute Timers to time baking

functions.

5. Wait until the shortest recommended

baking time before checking food. For

baked goods, a wooden pick placed in the

center should come clean when the food is

done.

6. Measure ingredients carefully and follow

tested recipes for best baking results.

7. Bakeware Tips:

Use the pan size and type

recommended by the recipe to ensure

best results.

Cakes, quick breads, muffins and

cookies should be baked in shiny,

reflective pans for light, golden crusts.

Medium gauge aluminum sheets

with low sides should be used when

preparing cookies, biscuits and cream

puffs.

Bake most frozen foods in their

original foil containers placed on a

fiat cookie sheet. Follow the package

recommendations.

When using glass bakeware, reduce

the recipe temperature by 25°F, except

when baking pies or yeast breads.

Follow the standard recipe baking time

for pies and yeast breads.

Avoid the use of old, darkened pans.

Warped, dented, stainless steel and

tin-coated pans heat unevenly and wilt

not give uniform baking results.

8. Tips for Pan Placement:

Place pans carefully on the oven

racks. Turn pans on the racks so that

the long sides run left to right, parallel

to the door.

9. Adjustments to recipe times and

temperatures will have to be made

when baking at high altitudes. Consult

a cookbook on high-altitude cooking or

contact the Home Economics Departments

at your state university for specific

recommendations.

l Roasting

All baking modes can be used to successfully

roast in your oven. However, the Convection

mode is recommended to produce meats that

are deliciously seared on the outside and

succulently juicy on the inside in record time.

Foods that are exceptional, when prepared in

a Convection mode, include: beef, pork, ham,

lamb, turkey, chicken, and cornish hens.

1. To convert conventional Bake recipes

to Convection recipes, reduce the

temperature by 25°F and the cooking time

by approximately 10%.

2. Using a roasting rack, always roast meats

fat side up in a shallow pan. Always

use a pan that fits the size of the food

being prepared. The broiler pan and grill,

accompanying the oven, can be used in

most cases. No basting is required when

the fat side is up. Do not add water to

the pan. It will cause a steamed effect.

Roasting is a dry heat process.

3. Poultry should be placed breast side up

on a rack in a shallow pan that fits the size

of the food. Again, the broiler pan and grill

accompanying the oven can be used. Brush

poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil

before and during roasting.

4. For Convection roasting, do not use pans

with tall sides. They interfere with the

circulation of heated air over the food.

5. When using a meat thermometer, insert the

probe halfway into the center of the thickest

portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the

thermometer probe between the body and

leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh.)

To ensure an accurate reading, the tip of

the probe should not touch bone, fat or

gristle. Check the meat temperature 2/3 of

the way through the recommended roasting

time.

6. After reading the meat thermometer once,

insert it 1/2 inch further into the meat, then

take a second reading.

if the second temperature registers below

the first, continue cooking the meat.

7. Remove meats from the oven when the

thermometer registers 5° to 10°F below the

desired temperature. The meat will continue

to cook after removal.

8. Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after

roasting in order to make carving easier.

9. if using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other

cover, use Bake Mode (ERDE models only)

or Convection Bake Mode (ERD models

only).

The recipe time and temperature will have

to be adjusted as welt.

10. Roasting times always vary according to

the size, shape and quality of meats and

poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best

prepared in Bake and may require moist

cooking techniques. Follow your favorite

cookbook recipes.

11. Reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the

roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum

foil.

ConvectionTM cooking enables the more oven

capacity to be utilized. Many foods, such

as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins,

rolls and frozen convenience foods can be

successfully prepared on either two or three

racks at the same time. Additionally, complete

meals can be prepared by using multiple racks.

See below for specific recommendations.

Follow the steps in the Oven Modes section, to

manually operate the oven, or refer to the Belay

Timed Cooking section below for automatic

operation.

MULTIPLE RACK BAKING TIPS

1. Typically, when baking on two racks, rack

positions #1 and #4 or #2 and #4.

2. When adapting a single rack recipe to

multiple rack baking, it may be necessary

to add to the baking time. This is due to the

extra mass of food in the oven.

Dacor's Oven GtideRack TM is designed to

install effortlessly and glide at a full extension.

Especially when using Dacor's pizza stone

(model number ABS20), the full extension of the

rack allows you to slide the pizza on and off the

stone with great ease. It is also great for large

roasts in large roasting pans. This easy- slide

rack will allow you to baste more easily and

check temperatures of the food more safely and

quickly.

Proper Installation of the Easy slide Oven

Rack:

1. Fully extend the two side guides. Align two

small clips on the bottom at the rear of the

Oven GlideRack TM with the black porcelain

rack guides in the oven.

2. Begin to slide the rack in, then lift up. The

Oven GlideRack TM must be in between the

two clips on the upper and lower side of

the rack rear.

3. Push the rack all the way to the back.

4. Grasp the rack in the front center and pull.

The rack should come forward while the

side guides remain in place.

Helpful Hints When Using Your Oven

GlideRack TM :

1. This rack works particularly well with

heavier items, although you can use it

during any baking, broiling or roasting in

your Uacor oveR.

2. These racks wilt need to be spaced out

when using more than one in the oven at

a time. For instance, the racks should be

used on rack positions 1,3, & 5 or 2 & 4,

counting up from the bottom, instead of

using racks 2,3, & 4.

3. When using the rack with Dacor% ABS20

baking stone, use rack position I for best

results.

4. Heavier roasting pans and dishes wilt also

cook better on Rack position 1.

5. Do not leave the rack in during self- clean.

The rack will become difficult to slide in

and out if it is self- cleaned. Remove all the

racks and the filter in the back of the oven

before self- cleaning..

6. To clean the rack, use hot, soapy water

and the rough side of a sponge.

This function allows the user to start and finish

a cooking cycle automatically. It is especially

useful for preparing meals in advance, cooking

while you are at work or play. Delay Timed

Cooking can only be used with Standard Bake

(ERD model only), Convection Bake, or Pure

Convection modes. It wilt not function in Broil

mode.

_ WARNING:

Food safety is an important consideration

when using delayed cooking modes. To

avoid potential sickness and spoiling of

food, take the following steps:

1. Avoid using foods that wil! spoil while

waiting for the cooking cycle to begin.

Typical foods to avoid include those

containing eggs and dairy products,

cream soups, and cooked or uncooked

meats, poultry and fish.

2. If cooking will not begin immediately,

place only very cold or frozen food into

the oven. Most unfrozen foods should

never stand in the oven for more than

two hours before cooking begins.

3. Do not allow foods to remain in

the oven more than one hour after

completion of the cooking cycle. When

the temperature drops below 140°F,

bacteria can develop.

Setting the Oven for Delay Timed Cooking

To use Delay Timed Cooking, follow these

steps:

1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper

height(s).

2. Place the food onto the center of the oven

rack(s).

3. Select the desired cooking mode and

temperature.

4. Press the "COOK TIME" pad and "TIME"

will appear in the clock display. Press the

"TIME.TEMP" "+" pad to set the length

of time that the food will be cooked. The

"COOK TIME" can be set from 5 minutes to

I1 hours, 50 minutes.

5. The oven can be set to start now or later

in the day. To start cooking now, do not

perform any more programming steps. After

six seconds "PRE", "ON" and "TIMED" will

appear in the clock display, and the oven

will begin heating. After the "COOK TIME"

has expired, the clock will beep three

times, and "Hold" will be displayed. The

cooling fan will continue to run, depending

upon the length and temperature of the

cooking process.

6. Press the "STOP TIME" touch pad, and

"STOP" will appear in the clock display.

Press the "TIME.TEMP" "+" pad to enter

the time of day that you wish the oven to

shut off. "DELAY" wilt now be displayed.

The oven will calculate the correct "START

TIME." After the "COOK TIME" has expired,

the clock will beep three times, and "Hold"

will be displayed. If cooking in a convection

mode, the convection fan will also turn

off at this time. While in "Hold" mode, the

oven temperature will be maintained at

I50°F for a period of two hours. "Hold"

mode can be cancelled by pressing the

"CANCEL.SECURE" touch pad. The

cooling fan will continue to run depending

upon the length and temperature of the

cooking process.

DELAY TIMED COOKING TIPS

1. Do not use foods containing baking powder

or yeast in Delay Timed Cooking. These

foods will not rise properly.

2. Remember that "COOK TIME" refers to

the length of the cooking cycle. It does not

refer to the start time!

3. The time required to preheat the oven must

be included in the "COOK TIME" Thus,

the "COOK TIME" should be increased by

about 8 to 12 minutes depending upon the

temperature setting. The broiler does not

come on to preheat in the Delay Mode, so

you will not pre-maturely brown foods.

_ NOTE:

The gas broilers (ERD model only), or

Electrical Glass Broilers (ERDE model only),

are not activated for Pre-heat in the Belay-

Time cooking mode, so Pre-Heat times are

increased - but dishes wi!l not pre-maturely

brown.

The range can be used to dehydrate or

defrost foods at tow heat settings in "Pure

Convection TM"mode (ERD models only).

Follow these steps to dehydrate or defrost

foods:

1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper

height(s).

2. Place the food onto the center of the oven

rack. (For dehydrating, prepare food as

recommended then place food onto a

drying rack.)

3. Press the "PURE CONVECTION TM"pad.

4. Set the temperature to 135°F. This is the

minimum temperature that can be set. (For

dehydrating, a higher temperature setting

may be required. Follow the recommended

temperature for the type of food being

prepared.)

5. It is recommended that the user set the

Minute Timer(s) to time the process.

Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare

many foods, including steaks, chicken, chops,

hamburgers and fish. Broiling in the oven is

completed with the oven door completely

shut. It is normal and necessary for some

smoke to be present to give the food a broiled

flavor. The broil temperature may be adjusted in

5°F increments from 135°F up to the maximum

setting of "HI". The "HI" setting is equivalent to

555°F.

Utensils will affect the overall safety and

performance of cooktop cooking, so it is

important to select them carefully. An improperly

selected utensil will not cook efficiently or

evenly. For best results, follow these guidelines:

1. Use medium to heavy-gauge metal

cookware with flat and smooth bottoms for

greatest efficiency.

2. Use utensils with tight fitting lids to retain

heat, odors, and steam.

Indicators have been placed on the control

housing, next to each control knob, to clearly

identify the burner controlled by each knob.

To indicate whether the knob controls burners

on the left or right, the knobs are grouped

accordingly. The burner being controlled is

indicated by a blue indicator light, while the

adjacent burner is illustrated by a flame icon on

the control panel.

To light a particular burner, press in on the

corresponding control knob, then immediately

rotate the knob counterclockwise from the off

(e) position to the "HIGH" position (larger flame

icon). All ignitors will spark continuously until

the gas ignites on the selected burner. Ignition

should occur within four seconds of turning to

this position. The ignitors will stop sparking as

soon as the burner ignites.

Once the burner is lit, reduce the flame

height by rotating the control knob further

counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the

grate. Progressively lower flame heights are

achieved as the knob is turned toward the small

flame icon (counterclockwise).

[_ IMPORTANT:

1. If the gas does not ignite within four

seconds, then turn off the valve. Allow

at least five minutes for any gas to

dissipate, then repeat the lighting

procedure.

2. Burner ignitors must always be kept

clean and dry to function properly.

Due to the Perma-Flame re=ignition

feature, dirty or wet ignitors will result

in constant sparking, even if there is

a flame present. Additionally, ignitors

will spark automatically if the flame is

distorted by a draft or by a ventilation

system. Eliminate the draft or reduce

the ventilation b!ower speed in this

case,

3. Do not touch any burner cap, burner

base, or ignitor while the ignitors are

sparking. An electrical shock could

result.

4. When the cooktop is cool and/or more

than two burners are in use, the ignitors

may continue to spark if the control

knob is set to the "LOW" position. This

is normal until the burner warms up.

The tendency to spark under these

conditions can be reduced by operating

the burner at a higher flame setting

for a short period of time (normally

60 seconds or less), then adjusting

the control knob down to the "LOW"

setting. The burner will also warm up

faster if a utensil is placed on the grate.

5. The flame should be steady and blue in

color. Foreign material in the gas line,

especially in new construction, may

cause an orange flame during initial

operation. This wi!l disappear with

further use.

6. The flame should burn evenly around

the perimeter of the burner, except

underneath each grate support finger,

where the flame height is reduced by

the Smart-Flame feature. If the flame is

uneven, ensure that the brass burner

ring and porcemain burner cap are

properly positioned, then check for any

foreign material in the burner ring or

on the burner cap. Remove any foreign

material with a straightened paper clip,

wire, or needle. Do not damage the

brass or distort the shape of the burner

ring ports.

7. Never light the burners with a match

or other open flame, if aburner does

not ignite, consult the Troubleshooting

section of this manual.

Setting the Burner Flame Heights

EpicureTM Range burners are all rated at a

maximum output of 15,000 BTU/HR.

All burners are sealed to the cooktop by gaskets

around the underside of the burner bases,

thereby preventing any liquid spills from getting

below the cooktop frame.

Setting the proper burner flame height for the

desired cooking process and selected utensil

will result in superior cooking performance,

while also saving time and energy. Follow these

recommendations for best results:

1. Use low or medium flame heights when

cooking in utensils that are poor conductors

of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast

iron cooking vessels. Reduce the flame

height until it covers approximately 1/3 of

the utensil diameter. This will ensure even

heating within the utensil and reduce the

likelihood of burning or scorching of food.

2. Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond

the bottom of the utensil. A flame that licks

along the sides of the utensil is potentially

dangerous.

3. Reduce the flame height, to the minimum

level necessary, to perform the desired

cooking process. Remember that food

cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it

does at a vigorous, rolling boil. Maintaining

a higher boil than is necessary wastes

energy, cooks away moisture, and causes

a toss in food flavor and nutrient level.

Using the Simmer Plate

The Simmer Plate has been specifically

designed for simmering and holding food at the

lowest safe temperature. The Simmer Plate

is to be used by setting the burner to its

lowest settinq. The Simmer Plate has been

specifically designed for simmering only.

The Simmer Plate must be removed when

cooking.

To install your Simmer Plate locate the five feet

on the bottom, align with the five longest fingers

on the cooktop grate then set the plate on top of

the grate. When correctly installed, the Simmer

Plate will rest about 1/2 inch above the top

surface of the grate and will be locked in place

to prevent turning.

Your Simmer Plate has a non-stick coating for

easy cleaning. Take care in using abrasives on

the non-stick coating, as it will scratch. Some

wearing may occur on top of the Simmer Plate

offset fingers, this is normal with use.

_ NOTE:

Non-stick coatings if used at high

temperatures can be harmful to birds. Avoid

keeping pets (birds) in your kitchen during

cooking.

_] WARNING:

To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off

aimcontrols and ensure the cooktop is cool

before cleaning.

[_} IMPORTANT:

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning

agents, waxes, polishes, or commercial

cooktop cleaners to clean the cooktop.

Read and follow the CARE AND CLEANING

INSTRUCTIONS to ensure that proper cooktop

operation and appearance wilt be maintained

throughout the lifetime of the product. Several

materials and finishes are used in the

cooktop. Each material and finish must be

properly cleaned according to the following

recommendations. Failure to follow these

recommendations may result in permanent

damage to the cooktop. JI

[_ WARNINGS:

1. Before cleaning the cooktop, ensure

that all burners are turned off and that

amlcomponents are cool enough to

safely touch.

2. After cleaning, reassemble all

components before attempting to

operate the cooktop.

Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain

cooktop performance and appearance, while

also ensuring safe operation. The cleaning

effort necessary to maintain the cooktop varies

according to the type and amount of cooking.

For example, more frequent cleaning is required

if the cooktop is used often for frying or other

high temperature operations.

Clean the cooktop thoroughly prior to operating

it the first time. For initial and everyday cleaning,

use a soft cloth or sponge lightly dampened with

a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing

liquid to clean all components.

_} IMPORTANT:

1. To keep the cooktop looking its best,

clean it after every use as soon as all

components are cool enough to safely

touch. Also, quickmy wipe up spills that

occur while cooking, being careful

not to touch any hot areas. Spills that

remain on hot burner components will

be very difficult to clean, especially if

allowed to burn on. Spills of certain

foods, such as tomatoes, citrus

juices, vinegar, alcohol, and milk, are

very harmful if allowed to stand for

any length of time. Therefore, save

time while also maintaining a new

appearance by cleaning regularly and

shortly after spills occur.

2. Use the mildest cleaner or procedure

available to perform the cleaning

operation.

3. Use onmy a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous

or plastic brush, and nylon pad for

cleaning. Avoid the use of abrasive

cleaners such as steemwool.

4. Always dry components completely

before using the cooktop.

5. The use of brand names is intended

only to indicate a type of cleaning

agent or cleaning implement. Al!

products listed by name must be used

in accordance with the manufacturer's

recommendations. Use of a brand name

does not constitute an endorsement,

nor does omission of a particular brand

imply that a product is inferior.

Recommendations for cleaning specific cooktop

components are summarized below:

[_ IMPORTANT:

The grates, burner caps, and spill-over

areas on the cooktop, unmike other porcelain

enamem appliances in your home, are

exposed to extremely high temperatures

in a matter of seconds. In addition to

this extreme thermal shock, the grates

are subjected to mechanical shock when

utensils are placed on or slid across them.

Finally, spillovers introduce foods with high

acidity to all of the porcelain components.

Due to these severe oDeratinaconditions_

all_orcelain enamel components on the

cooktoD will underao an inevitable chanue

inappearance with use. Meticulous care

and cleaning will slow but not eliminate this

natural and expected aging process.

Treating the porcelain components with care will

slow the natural deterioration that takes place

with cooktop use. Please follow these guidelines

to keep the porcelain parts looking their best:

1. Do not use utensils having rough bottoms,

as this can result in permanent damage

to the top surfaces of the porcelainized

grates.

2. Do not drop utensils onto the grates or

drag heavy pots across the tops of the

grates.
