Maintaining your appliance
Care and cleaning of the oven
Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim
• For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot, soapy water.
• For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the area and leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any oven surfaces. They can be scratched.
Cleaning stainless-steel surfaces
1. Shake a bottle of stainless-steel appliance cleaner/polish.
2. Place a small amount of the cleaner/polish on a damp cloth or damp paper towel.
3. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Repeat as necessary.
NOTE
• Do not use a steel-wool pad. It will scratch the surface.
• If a mineral-oil-based, stainless-steel-appliance cleaner was used to clean the combi, wash the surface with liquid dish soap and water before using the cleaner again.
Oven racks
• If the racks go through a self-cleaning cycle, they will discolor somewhat and become dull. When the racks have cooled, rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth dabbed with a bit of cooking oil to help them glide more easily on their tracks.
• Gliding racks may be scrubbed with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. Do not let water or cleaner enter the slides on the sides of rack.
NOTE
• Do not clean the racks in a dishwasher.
• If the rack becomes hard to remove or install, lightly wipe the guides with cooking oil. Do not wipe oil on the slides. (If the rack is still difficult to slide, it may need to be lubricated with graphite.)
NOTE
To order graphite lubricant, call Dacor Customer Assurance: 800-793-0093, or go to http://www.dacor.com/Customer-Care/Service-Parts, and search Part No. DG81-01629A.
To lubricate the slides of the gliding rack
1. Remove the rack from the oven. See Using the gliding rack > Removing the gliding rack,
2. Fully extend the rack on a table or countertop. Newspaper may be placed underneath the rack for easy cleanup.
3. If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it away using a paper towel. (Any graphite lubricant wiped away must be replaced - See steps 4 through 7.
4. Shake the graphite lubricant before opening it. Starting with the left (front and back) slide mechanism of the rack, place four (4) small drops of lubricant on the two (2) bottom tracks of the slide close to the bearing carriers.
5. Repeat for the right (front and back) slide mechanism of the rack.
6. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.
7. Replace the cap on the lubricant and shake it again. Turn the rack over and repeat steps 3, 4, 5, and 6.
8. Close the rack, turn the rack right-side up, and slide it into the oven. (See Installing the gliding rack, pg. 69.)
NOTE
Do not spray the gliding rack with cooking
spray or other lubricant sprays.
Oven door
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
DO NOT clean the oven-door gasket. The oven-door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.
Removing the oven door (Lower oven only)
CAUTION
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid personal injury and property damage. For safety reasons, you cannot remove the door of the upper oven.
1. Prepare a flat, blanket-covered surface to set th edoor on. (You can also use the corner posts from your packing material.)
2. Disconnect the LED's wire harness from the door's bottom-right corner.
3. Open the oven door.
4. In both corners of the door, flip the hinge locks outward to unlock them. The hinge locks must be flipped fully out (see the graphic at left) so you can remove the door properly.
5. Partially close the door to engage the door latch locks. The door will stop at this point.
6. Using two hands, grasp the sides of the oven door. Lift and pull the oven door toward you and remove. You may need to gently shift the door from side to side as you pull.
7. Set the oven door aside on the prepared covered work surface with the oven door resting on its handle.
Replacing the oven door (Lower oven only)
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid personal injury and property damage. For safety reasons, you cannot remove the door of the upper oven.
1. Using two hands, grasp the side edges of the door at the midpoint. Face the oven cavity.
2. Locate the slots on each side of the oven cavity for the door hinge locks.
3. Hold the door at a 45° angle, and then align the door hinges with the slots
in the lower front of the oven cavity. Slowly insert the door, making sure you maintain the 45° angle. You will know the door is engaged in the slot when you feel a slight drop.
4. Fully open the oven door. (If the door does not open 90°, repeat Steps 1 - 3.)
5. Flip the hinge locks in the bottom corners of the oven door toward the oven chamber to lock the hinges. See Step 3(Locked/Unlocked)in the Removing the oven door" procedure.
6. Close the oven door. (If the door is properly installed, there is an even gap between it and control panel; if the gap is fatter on one side, the hinge on that side is improperly installed.)
7. Reconnect the LED's wire harness.
CAUTION
After replacing the door, make sure to reconnect the wires. Push them inward to arrange them as they were before you removed the door. Wires that are not connected or arranged correctly can be caught in the door or damaged by heat.
Changing the oven light (Lower oven only)
The oven light is a standard 40-watt-appliance halogen bulb. It comes on when the oven door is open. When the oven door is closed, touch LIGHT to turn the light on or off. It will not work during a self-cleaning or Green cleaning cycle.
CAUTION
Before changing your oven light, disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Make sure the oven and the halogen bulb are cool.
1. To change the halogen bulb, you must tilt the broil heater down. To do this, turn the circular nut on the support counterclockwise while holding the broil heater. The broil heater should loosen and tilt down. Important: The broil heater is not a removable part. Do not force the broil heater down. Do not let it drop down.
2. Remove the glass cover.
3. Remove the halogen bulb cover.
4. Replace the halogen bulb.
5. When done, replace the glass cover, and then follow Step 1 above in the reverse order to return the broiler to its correct position.
