This document provides installation instructions for Dacor Epicure® Ranges, specifically models EGR30, ERD30, and ERD60. It serves as a comprehensive guide for installers and customers, emphasizing safety, proper setup, and initial operation.
The Dacor Epicure® Range is a cooking appliance designed for residential use, featuring both a cooktop and an oven. It is available in various configurations, including self-rimming and free-standing, and can be adapted for natural gas or LP gas supply. The range's primary function is to provide versatile cooking capabilities, allowing users to prepare meals using multiple burners on the cooktop and a spacious oven for baking and broiling.
The cooktop section is equipped with multiple burners, each controlled by individual knobs, enabling precise heat adjustment for different cooking needs. The oven features various heating elements and controls for different cooking modes, such as bake and broil, with temperature and time settings. Some models include an anti-tip device to ensure stability and prevent accidental tipping, a crucial safety feature. The range is designed to integrate into standard kitchen cabinetry, with specific dimensions and clearance requirements outlined for proper installation.
Electrical connections are detailed for both three-wire and four-wire systems, with clear instructions on grounding and wiring to ensure safe operation. The gas connection section covers the installation of the gas supply line, regulator, and leak testing procedures. The overall design aims to offer a high-performance cooking experience while adhering to strict safety standards.
The Dacor Epicure® Range offers several features to enhance the cooking experience. The cooktop burners are designed for efficient and controlled heating, with individual control knobs allowing users to adjust flame intensity from high to low. The oven provides various cooking functions, including baking and broiling, with programmable temperature and time settings. The display panel allows users to set the time of day and monitor oven operations.
For ease of installation and maintenance, the oven doors are removable, which can simplify moving the range and accessing internal components. The cooktop components, such as burner rings, caps, and grates, are also designed for easy placement and removal, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The range's controls are intuitive, with clear labeling for different functions, making it user-friendly.
Safety is a paramount aspect of the range's usage. The anti-tip bracket, where applicable, ensures the appliance remains stable during use, especially when the oven door is open or heavy items are placed inside. The installation instructions emphasize the importance of proper ventilation and avoiding the obstruction of air passages to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating. Users are advised to operate the range according to the use and care manual, ensuring good ventilation when cooking with gas.
Maintaining the Dacor Epicure® Range involves several key aspects to ensure its longevity and safe operation. The installation instructions highlight the importance of thorough cleaning of the cooktop before initial operation. The removable burner rings, caps, and grates simplify the cleaning process, allowing users to access and clean individual components.
The document also provides guidance on checking for gas leaks using a soap and water solution after installation, a critical maintenance step to ensure safety. Users are instructed to turn off the gas supply and electric power before performing any service or installation tasks.
For models with an oven, the instructions mention the importance of ensuring the light fixture lens covers are in place during use to protect the bulbs from high temperatures and mechanical shock. Additionally, users are cautioned against lining the oven with aluminum foil or other materials, as this can cause permanent damage during self-cleaning and interfere with heating elements.
In case of operational issues, the troubleshooting steps guide users to verify power and gas supply, check electrical connections, and repeat initial tests. If problems persist, users are advised to contact Dacor customer service rather than attempting repairs themselves, ensuring that qualified service technicians handle complex issues. This approach helps maintain the appliance's performance and safety standards.
