Care And Cleaning - Dacor Discovery DYRP48DS Use And Care Manual

WARNING
• Clean only the parts of the range listed in this manual. Clean
them only in the manner specified.
• To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your range's
surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning
solutions specified in this manual.
• To avoid burns, turn off the burners and the oven. 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 range 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 range.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range. 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
range's surfaces.
• Ensure that the anti-tip bracket is engaged after the range is
moved out for cleaning. Use a flashlight to look underneath
the range and verify that the anti-tip bracket covers the
anti-tip foot when the range is moved back into place.
Oven Self Clean Feature
About the Self Clean Cycle
• The oven will run better and produce better
baked goods when it is clean. During Self
Clean, the oven is heated to a very high temperature
which burns 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 3 hours total.
• 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.

• Self Clean mode will not function if the meat probe
is connected. Also Self Clean will not start when the
oven is already over 400°F (204°C). Wait for the oven
to cool below 400°F before starting the Self Clean
cycle.
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.
• CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD, COOKING UTENSILS,
OVEN RACKS, THE CONVECTION FILTER, ETC., IN THE
OVEN DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
How to Use the Self Clean Feature
IMPORTANT
• The oven lights do not operate while the oven is in Self Clean
mode to protect them from damage.
• Attempting to use Self Clean with the meat probe connected
will cause an error signal to appear on the display.
• The control panel will only allow one oven chamber to be
self-cleaned at a time due to the amount of power consumed.
Also, you cannot cook in one oven while the other is in Self
Clean mode.
1. Before self-cleaning an 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 51 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.
WARNING
• 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.
