Care And Cleaning - Dacor MORD230 Use And Care Manual

warning
• Clean only the parts of the oven listed in this manual. Clean
them only in the manner specified.
• To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your oven's
surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning
solutions specified in this manual.
• To avoid burns, turn off the oven(s) and make sure that all
parts are cool before cleaning.
• To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads,
on any part of the oven unless instructed to do so. Use
only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush or nylon
cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your oven.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven. Steam could
penetrate the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such
as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your
oven's surfaces.
Your Oven's Self-Clean Feature
About the Self-Clean Cycle
• the oven will run better and produce better baked
goods when it is clean. During self-cleaning, the
oven is heated to very high temperatures which burn
off any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. self-
cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of
interior surfaces. the self-clean process takes about 2
to 4 hours.
• it is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the
first few self-clean cycles. It is also normal for the
oven to emit popping sounds during self-cleaning.
these sounds are caused by the expansion and con-
traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and
cools down.
• self-clean mode will not function if the meat probe is
connected.
warning
• Always wipe up excess grease and other food spills with
a damp cloth prior to using the self-clean cycle. Doing so
will minimize smoke and increase efficiency. See proper
cleaning instructions on this page.
• Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the
self-clean cycle. They will be hot.
• Items left in the oven during self-cleaning will become
damaged or damage the oven. See page 25 for directions
on polishing a rack that is left in the oven during
self-cleaning.

How to Use the Self-Clean Feature
important
On double ovens, the control panel will only allow one oven
chamber to be self-cleaned at a time due to the amount of power
consumed. Also, the double oven's computer will not allow you to
cook in one oven while the other is in self-clean mode.
1. before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the
convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.),
the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from
the oven chamber. See page 25 for filter cleaning
instructions.
2. clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door
outside of the door gasket. rinse surfaces well with
a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. heav-
ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching
scouring pad.
3. clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of
water and mild soap.
• Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket.
Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal
required for proper cooking and self-cleaning.
• Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. Damage
to the door or latch may result.
4. turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors
during the self-clean cycle.
5. make sure the oven door is shut.
6. press the selF Clean key.
7. press the DuratIon key, then the 2, 3 or 4 key to
select the number of hours of self-clean time (2-light,
3-medium and 4-heavy). Longer self-clean times are
for cleaning a heavier build up of grease and grime.
8. press the start key (located on the far left of the
control panel.)
the control panel automatically locks the oven door
during self-cleaning. the latch prevents the door from
being opened since the high interior oven temperatures
can easily cause injury. If the door is not shut, an error
message will appear on the display. to correct the prob-
lem, press CanCel · seCure and wait approximately
one minute, then close the door. when the door is prop-
erly closed, start the self-clean process again.
the display shows the self-clean cycle status:
• the clean symbol indicates that self clean is
in process.
• the lock symbol indicates that the door is
latched.
• " on" indicates that the heating elements are
on.
