NOTE

• If your area requires a rigid pipe hookup, contact a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
• The gas shut-off valve should be installed in an accessible location in the gas piping, external to the appliance, for the purpose of turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Step 3. Convert to lp gas (optional)
All new gas ranges are shipped from the factory set up to use natural gas. This Dacor gas range can be converted to use LP gas. (Contact a qualified service technician.) The conversion process should only be performed by a qualified LP gas installer. Conversion instructions and LP orifices will be supplied with the LP conversion kit. The conversion to LP requires all burner orifices to be changed (6 surface burners and 2 oven burners). In addition, the nozzle on the gas pressure regulator needs to be reversed. All replaced orifices must be left with the consumer, including the instructions and retrofit sizes and orifice indication.

Step 4. Install the anti-tip device

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of tipping, the appliance must be secured by properly installing the anti-tip device packed with the appliance.
• All ranges can tip, resulting in personal injury.
• Tipping ranges can cause burns from spills, personal injury, and/or death.
• To prevent accidental tipping, install and check the anti-tip bracket following the instructions and template supplied with the bracket.

An anti-tip bracket and screws, installation instructions, and template are shipped with every range (PN 114475). The instructions include information necessary to complete the installation of the anti-tip bracket. Read and follow the instructions on the sheet and use the template for anti-tip bracket installation. If not properly installed, the range could be tipped by you or a child standing, sitting, or leaning on an open oven door.

NOTE
To install the Anti-tip bracket, release the leveling leg using pipe wrench because Loctite is applied on Bolt for vibration unlocking. A minimum clearance of 1 3/8” (35.1 mm) is required between the range bottom and the kitchen floor. To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, remove the kick panel and look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. Carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches (10.2 cm) of tipping. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

Step 5. Plug in and place

WARNING

• BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding requirements on pages 16–17 in this manual. Improper connection of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• All gas ranges come with a power cord. The power cord is connected to the rear of the range. Please review “Electrical requirements” on pages 16–17.
• All U.S. and Canadian models are produced with a 3-wire, 120-volt, 60-Hertz electrical system. The entire system, including the power cord, is preinstalled and prewired at the factory. Altering any part of this system may result in a short or overload.

1. The cable tie at the rear of the unit features a lever that unties the power cable. To release the tie, do not cut it loose. Instead, use the lever to release the tie.
2. Plug in the power cord. Make sure the outlet meets local or national electrical codes as referenced on pages 16–17.
3. Slide the range into place.
4. Check the gas supply line to make sure it did not get damaged and it stayed connected during positioning.
5. Check to make sure the back leg of the range has slid into the anti-tip bracket. Carefully tip the range forward to ensure that the anti-tip bracket engages the back brace and prevents tip-over.

Step 6. Moving and placing the range

1. Due to the weight, heavy equipment movers such as Air Sled should be used to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly across the bottom.

2. After transporting the range by Air Sled where you want, the range can be leveled by adjusting the legs with a wrench while Air Sled is supported. Using a wrench, level the range by turning the front leveling legs in or out as necessary. Counterclockwise shortens the leg and lowers the range. Clockwise lengthens the leg and raises the range.
   NOTE Adjust the leveling legs only as far as necessary to level the range. Extending the leveling legs more than necessary or removing legs can cause the range to be unstable.

3. If range is next to or between cabinets, make sure the cooktop (without the surface burner grates) is level with the countertops.

4. Position an oven rack in the center rack position.

5. Check the level of the range with a carpenter level using the two positions shown at right.

6. After the range becomes level, Use Air Sled to move the range away from the wall so that the anti-tip bracket can be installed.

7. After installing and leveling the range, carefully remove Air Sled and install front leg covers (right and left).

Step 7. Assemble the surface burners

CAUTION
Do not operate the surface burners without all burner parts in place.

1. Position surface burner heads on top of the surface burner manifolds as shown in the picture on the right. The electrodes will fit into the slot in the bottom of the heads. Make sure the surface burner heads are flat and parallel with the cooktop.
2. Place the matching size caps on top of each surface burner head.
3. Place the left and right surface burner grates on the cooktop. The edges of the grates should match up with the edges of the cooktop.

NOTE

• Grates should be placed on its own position because they are not interchangeable.
• You can recognize the right position of the grates by checking the bottom side of each. Look for engraved position on right and left grate, “RIGHT REAR” and “LEFT REAR” respectively.
• The grates are heavy. Be careful while handling the grates.

Step 8. Check the ignition of surface burners and oven burners
Check the operation of all cooktop and oven burners after the range has been installed and assembled, gas supply lines have been carefully checked for leaks, and electrical power cord has been plugged in. All surface and oven burners have electronic ignition.

To turn on a surface burner:

1. Push in the control knob, and then turn it to the LITE ( ) position. You will hear a “clicking” sound indicating the electronic ignition system is working properly.
2. Turn the control knob to adjust the flame level.

To start the broil and roast burners:

1. Rotate the mode selector knob from OFF to  Convection Bake, Convection Roast, Pure Convection Convection 
2. Rotate the temperature selector knob from the OFF position to change the temperature. You can set the oven to any temperature from LO to 550 °F.
   • The gas oven preheats until it reaches the temperature you set.
   • When preheating is complete, place the food in the gas oven, and then close the door.
3. When cooking is complete, rotate both mode and temperature selector knobs to the OFF position, and then take out the food.

NOTE
To change the temperature during cooking, use the temperature selector knob.

To start the broil burners:

Broiling uses an upper gas oven alone to brown food. Meat or fish must be put on a broiling grid in a broiling pan.

1. Turn the mode selector knob from OFF to the Broil position, and then rotate the temperature selector knob to set the broiling temperature from OFF to HI or LO.
2. When broiling on either side is complete, rotate both mode and temperature selector knobs to the OFF position.

Checking the flame quality:
All combustion flames need to be visually checked to determine their flame quality.

1. Prevailing soft blue flames—Normal for natural gas operation.
2. Yellow tips on outer cones—Normal for LP gas operation.
3. Yellow flames—Abnormal for any gas operation; call for service.

NOTE
If burner flame looks like 3, the range should not be used until it is serviced. Call Dacor for service. Normal burner flames shall look like 1 or 2, depending on the gas type you use.

Step 9. Final installation checklist
You have just completed installing your range. Make sure all controls are in the OFF position and the flow of ventilation air to the range is unobstructed. The following is a checklist to confirm your range is safely installed and ready for operation.

• Gas line has been properly connected to the range. The gas has been turned on. All connections have been checked for leaks.
• Range is plugged into the properly grounded electrical receptacle.
• Approved anti-tip bracket is properly installed and engaged with the range.
• Range is leveled and is firmly sitting on a solid, level floor.
• Gas surface burners have been properly assembled.
• All burners have been tested for proper operation.
• FOR INSTALLER ONLY—Check and/or adjust the broil and oven burner flames as described in this manual.

Adjusting the oven burner air adjustment shutters

All oven burners have an air adjustment shutter. The purpose of the shutter is to regulate the flow of air to the flames. Properly adjusted flames should burn steadily with approximately 1 in of blue cone. The flames should never extend past the edge of the burner baffles. Even though these are preset at the factory, they should be checked and, if needed, adjusted periodically to ensure efficient operation.

To check and adjust the oven burner air adjustment shutters:

1. Open the oven door.
2. Remove the oven racks.
3. Remove the oven floor.
4. Turn the mode selector knob from OFF to the Bake position, and then rotate the temperature selector knob to set the temperature from the OFF position.
5. After the oven has lit, visually check the flames coming out of the upper and lower burners. If adjustment is needed, carefully adjust the air adjustment shutters.The shutters are located at the base of the burner manifolds near the back oven wall.

Adjustment air shutter (Broil Burner)

1. Remove 1 screw of Bracket-Sub and,remove Bracket Sub.
2. Remove 1 screw (A) of Broil Burner.
3. Remove 4 screws (B) of Bracket Broil.
4. Separate Bracket Broil & Broil Burner.
5. Loose Locking screw of Broil Burner and, adjust air shutter.

Adjustment air shutter (Bake Burner)

1. Remove 2 screws of Cavity Floor and remove Cavity Floor.
2. Remove 2 screws of Bracket Base and remove Bracket Base.
3. Loose Locking screw of Bake Burner and, adjust air shutter.

To adjust the shutter, loosen the locking screw and rotate the shutter towards the open or closed position as needed. If flames are lifting off the burner ports, gradually reduce the air shutter opening until the flames are stabilized. If flames are too yellow and/or too large, gradually increase the air shutter opening until the flames have approximately a 1 in blue cone.

NOTE
If the range is set up for natural gas, the flames should burn with minimal yellow tipping. If the range is set up for LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of the cones are normal. After the flames are adjusted properly, shut off the oven, retighten the locking screws, replace the oven bottom and racks, and close the oven door.

To adjust flame low setting
Identify which burner is exhibiting too high or too low simmer flame size, adjust as necessary by following steps below:

1. Rotate a knob to LO position and remove the knob from the valve stem while the flame is lit.
2. Carefully push the screw driver into the stem of the valve, until it hits the simmer set screw. Make sure the screwdriver flathead is seated into the set screw groove.
3. Rotate valve set screw clockwise to decrease LO setting flame output, or rotate set screw counter clockwise to increase LO setting flame output.

WARNING

1. Do not completely remove the valve set screw from the valve stem. The valve set screw is an integral part of the gas valve assembly. Removing the valve set screw will cause gas to leak.
2. After adjusting the valve set screw, inspect the assembly for gas leaks.
