Cleaning the Oven

To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the oven and be sure 

that it is cool before cleaning.

Your oven’s self clean feature eliminates the need for manual 

scrubbing of interior surfaces. The steps below are for cleaning 

surfaces and items that are not cleaned by the self clean process. 

To use the self clean feature see page 24.

For your safety and proper oven performance, re-install the 

filter before using the oven to cook. If you don’t, the spinning 

fan blades at the back of the oven will be exposed.

The convection filter is located in the back of each oven chamber. 

Clean the filter regularly. If you allow it to become clogged, the 

oven’s convection cooking modes will not work properly. You also 

need to remove the filter during the self clean cycle.

When the oven is cool, put your fingers around the edges of the 

filter and gently push up.

Soak it in hot, soapy water. Rinse well. You may also place it in a 

dishwasher on the top rack. Dry the filter before re-installing it.

Carefully hook the metal clips on the back of the filter over the 

metal bar across the fan hole. Make sure it is centered over the 

hole. Be careful not to scratch the porcelain surfaces with the 

back of the filter.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Control Panel

Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on the control panel. 

They will permanently damage the finish.

To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the 

control panel, activate the lock-out feature. Press the CANCEL-

SECURE key for four seconds. The lock-out feature disables the 

keys. When the control panel is locked, the word “OFF” appears 

on the display.

When you want to re-activate the control panel, press CANCEL-

SECURE for four seconds.
Clean the control panel with the soft side of a sponge dampened 

with a mild solution of detergent and warm water. Dry the control 

panel completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the 

grain. To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or 

scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution of detergent 

and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. You 

may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. Use it according to 

the directions on the package.

Cleaning Brass, Chrome and Copper 

Surfaces

To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners or 

scrubbers on metal surfaces.

Using a soft cloth, clean metal surfaces with a mild solution of 

detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free 

cloth.

Glass Cleaning (Interior and Exterior)

Use a mild glass cleaner to remove finger prints on glass surfaces. 

You can also clean glass surfaces with Dacor Cooktop Cleaning 

Creme. Use it according to the directions on the package.
You may scrub the oven light lens with the rough side of a sponge 

and warm, soapy water. Be careful not to scratch it.
