SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or too close to, any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury. Be certain to use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.

Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer. Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemi- cal that produces the spraying action could, in the pres- ence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
20 to 30 minutes each. This burns off the manufactur- ing oils used by the factory. Turn the oven element on to 450°F and the broiler element on to “Broil”. Turn on the ventilator above your range while these burners are on, as there will be an odor.
flame it will not relight automatically as the outer burner would. ELECTRONIC IGNITERS If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If the igniter is not clicking, TURN OFF THE BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
• For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow flames to curl up the side of the pan. • Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass- ceramic) should be used with medium to low flames. If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid a slightly larger flame can be used.
This is normal and does not affect the cooking. Do not replace the radiant tray/briquettes with alternates. Contact DCS for genuine factory-direct replacement parts. USE OF THE GRILL For proper searing and browning the grill requires high heat.
They should be cleaned each time they are used. NOTE: The longer you preheat the grill, the darker the grill marks. EXCESSIVE FLARE UPS and FLAMING Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These drippings will create minor puffs of flame for a second or two. This is normal when cooking on a barbecue.
GRIDDLE The built-in griddle on your cooktop is made from Type 304 stainless steel, highly polished to provide a smooth cooking surface. It is normal for it to darken with use as oils cook onto the surface to provide a stick resistant base or “seasoning”.

Models DCS RD 484 GG, DCS RD 486 GL and DCS RD 486 GD have two ovens. The 27” oven on the right side can be used for standard baking, fan assisted convec- tion baking, and broiling.
Converting Recipes to Convection Baking Low sided baking utensils will give the best results as the hot air can reach all sides of the food easier. The oven tem- perature can be left the same as the recipe and the food cooked a shorter period of time.

SETTING BAKE/CONVECTION BAKE FOR THE 27”&24” MAIN&12”PROOFINGOVENS- BAKE OVEN ON PREHEATING Preheating takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the temperature set. Preheating is usually necessary for foods baked at high temperature for a short period of time, i.e. drop cookies.
27" and 24" Oven Ranges: The larger 27" self cleaning convection oven is locat- ed on the right side of a 48" Dual Fuel Range or is the only oven on a 36" and 30" Range. The oven comes standard with (3) oven racks and three posi- tion roller assisted rack supports.

170ºF. A large two-piece broil pan comes with your new range. When you are broiling, always use both pieces. Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil. This slot- ted grid allows the grease drippings to flow into the bottom of the pan keeping it away from the intense heat of the infra-red broiler burner.
OVEN RACK POSITION The rack position depends on the type and thickness of the food. Thick pieces of meat or poultry would typically be broiled on rack position 2, steaks, chops and hamburger, would be broiled on rack position 1. If top browning casseroles or bread the thickness of the food would indicate the rack position.

CARE and MAINTENANCE When cleaning this range: Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance particularly the griddle or the grill while hot. All parts of the appliance (except the stainless steel griddle) can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth.
CARE and MAINTENANCE SIMMER PORTS IGNITERS Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the igniter. (See illustration above and page 9. BURNER BOWLS The burner bowls, around the burners, are easily lifted off when the burner grates are removed. They are porcelain enameled steel.
CARE and MAINTENANCE If hot soapy water, vinegar, scouring powder, steel wool or metal scouring pads are used to clean the griddle, it must be reseasoned. Follow the directions on page 14 to reseason the griddle. NEVER FLOOD THE HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD WATER.
CARE and MAINTENANCE If the rear top burners are used extensively on high it is possible for the vertical stainless steel panel of the low back or high shelf to discolor from the burner heat. This discol- oration can be removed by using Revere Ware Stainless Steel Cleaner.
CARE and MAINTENANCE cleaners cause darkening and discoloration. Test the cleaner on a small part of the rack and check for any discoloration before cleaning the entire rack. Apply a generous coating. Allow to stand for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
