Dacor RNR30NS Installation Instruction

Installation Instructions

Backguard Installation

If installing a backguard, install it before moving the range into 

position. Do not install a backguard if installing a downdraft vent.

Downdraft Vent Installation

If installing a downdraft vent, install it before moving the range 

into position. Install trim kit PN ATKR30SR to cover the front of 

the downdraft vent chassis.

Removing the Oven Door

To make the range easier to move, remove the door to reduce 

weight.

•  Do not attempt to disengage the hinge catches with the 

door removed from the oven. The hinge springs could 

release, causing personal injury.

•  Do not lift or carry the oven door by the door handle.

1.  Open the door to its fully opened position.
2.  Using a flat blade screwdriver, rotate the catch over the 

retaining arm on each hinge.

3.  Lift the oven door to about a 15° angle from the vertical 

position.

4.  Hold the door with both hands just below the handle and pull 

it away from the range while continuing to lift.

Electrical Connection

•  Before proceeding, turn off power to the circuit to which the 

appliance will be connected at the circuit breaker panel or 

fuse box.

•  If the electric service provided does not meet the product 

specifications, do not proceed with the installation. Call 

the appliance dealer or a licensed electrician. Improper 

connection of the electrical wiring can cause an electric 

shock hazard and damage the appliance. Dacor is not 

responsible for damages resulting from improper installation.

•  This range must be connected to a grounded, metallic, 

permanent wiring system. Alternatively, a grounding 

conductor should be connected to the grounding terminal or 

lead on the appliance.

•  Do not use a 3-wire connection unless local building codes 

permit.

•  Do not turn on power to the appliance until the range is 

permanently grounded.

•  Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Such use 

may result in fire, electrical shock or other personal injury.

•  Do not install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. A fuse 

in the neutral or ground circuit may result in an electrical 

shock hazard.

NOTE: If the appliance is connected to a 208 volt power supply, 

preheat times and cavity temperature recovery times will be 

increased slightly.
NOTE: Model numbers ending with a -C come from the factory 

pre-wired. If installing a pre-wired range, skip to Installing the 

Range on page 16.
IMPORTANT: When connecting the range wiring, do not 

disconnect any of the wires inside the range electrical box unless 

instructed to do so.
Before proceeding:
1.  Position the range directly in front of the cabinet cutout.
2.  Remove the electrical access cover on the back of the range.
There are four possible ways to wire the range:
• 

4-wire conduit

• 

3-wire conduit (where local codes permit)

• 

4-wire appliance cord (where local codes permit)

• 

3-wire appliance cord (where local codes permit)

The sections on the following pages give directions for connecting 

each type of wiring harness.
