Important Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your oven, follow basic safety precautions,

including the following:

warning

•

If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact

your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged

appliance.

•

Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic

and cloth away from and out of the oven. Do not allow pot

holders to touch hot surfaces.

Make sure that the oven has been properly installed

and grounded by a qualified installer according to the

accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer

show you the location of the fuse or junction box so that

you know where and how to turn off power to the oven.

Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the oven.

Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the interior

of the oven and surrounding areas during and immediately

after use.

•

Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.

Do not use the oven for storage.

•

Do not install, repair or replace any part of the oven unless

specifically recommended in the literature accompanying

it. A qualified service technician should perform all other

service.

Clean and maintain the oven regularly as instructed in this

manual. Keep the entire oven free of grease that could

catch fire.

•

Before performing any type of service, make sure that

the electrical power to the oven is turned off at the circuit

breaker or fuse box.

•

Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the

self-clean cycle. They will be hot.

Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations before use to determine

if a utensil is suitable for use on in an oven. Certain types

of glass, ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use

in the oven. Personal injury or damage may result from the

improper use of cookware.

Only use the oven for cooking tasks expected of a home

appliance as outlined in this manual. This oven is not

intended for commercial use.

•

DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE OVEN

DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.

Make sure individuals who use the oven are able to operate

it properly.

•

Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or

steam escape before looking or reaching inside.

Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or climb

on any part of the oven including the door. Doing so may

cause tipping, damage, serious injury or death.

Use extreme caution if adding water to food in the oven.

The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.

Use only dry pot holders when removing food and

cookware from the oven. Wet pot holders can cause steam

burns.

•

Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area

around the oven. Do not allow children to play with the

controls, pull on the handle(s) or touch other parts of the

oven.

•

For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the

convection filter(s) installed. When the filter is not installed,

the spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are

exposed.

Do not store items of interest to children above the oven.

Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the

appliance.

•

Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one hour

before or after cooking. Eating spoiled food can result in

food poisoning.

•

To prevent the unit from tipping forward and to provide

a stable installation, make sure the oven is secured to

the cabinet according to the accompanying installation

instructions.

Do not leave metal objects, such as aluminum foil, the meat

probe or cookie sheets on the bottom of the oven. Do not

allow the broil elements on the ceiling of the oven chamber

to be covered up. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or

other materials. Doing so may cause the oven or the items

in it to overheat, creating a fire hazard or causing property

damage.

•

Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby food

jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the container

to burst and cause injury.

Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion

may result. Smother any flames with a lid, cookie sheet

or flat tray. Use baking soda or a foam extinguisher to

extinguish flaming grease. Be careful to avoid getting

burned.

•

Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds.

Getting to Know Your Oven

Parts of the Oven

Control Panel

your oven’s control panel consists of keys and a display. use the control panel to

control all the oven’s features (sometimes called modes.)

air Intake/exhaust

slots

the oven draws air in through the intake slots to cool its internal parts. the air

comes out through the exhaust slot at the bottom of the oven. Do not block or

cover the air intake or exhaust slots.

meat Probe Connector

when you use the meat probe, insert the skewer into the meat and plug the other

end into this connector. see the Using the Meat Probe section on page 17 for

proper operation. on double ovens, only the upper oven is equipped with a meat

probe connector.

oven lights

there are two oven lights inside the oven chamber so that you can easily see the

food inside. press the light key on the control panel to turn them on. the bulbs are

12 volt, 20 watt, halogen.

rack supports

there are six sets of rack supports inside each oven chamber. they support the

adjustable oven racks. They are numbered from the bottom up.

Door Gasket

the door gasket prevents heat from escaping when the door is closed.

self-Clean latch

the self-clean latch automatically locks the oven door during the self-clean cycle.

the door latches for your safety. there are very high temperatures inside the oven

during the self-clean cycle.

Broil elements

the broil elements are located on the ceiling of the oven chamber. on some

models, they are hidden behind a glass panel. they are the source of top heat.

Convection Fan*

Convection element*

the convection fan blows heated air into the oven chamber during the convection

cooking process. The convection ﬁlter covers it.

the convection element heats the air that is blown into the oven chamber by the

convection fan during the convection cooking process. The convection ﬁlter covers

it.

Convection Filter*

The convection ﬁlter covers the convection fan. It helps prevent the transfer of

taste from one food to another when you are cooking a whole meal. it also keeps

the oven cleaner and covers the moving fan blades for safety purposes.

oven rack

your oven comes with one gliderack™ oven rack and a set of standard racks. the

total number of racks depends on the model.

Bake elements

Hidden below the glass panel on the ﬂoor of the oven chamber are the bake ele-

ments. they are the source of bottom heat.

* some double ovens are not equipped for convection cooking in the lower oven. these models do not have a convec-

tion fan, element and ﬁlter in the bottom oven chamber.

important

The clock cannot be set during delay timed cooking, if one

of the timers is in use or if self-clean or Sabbath mode is

active.

•

Before Your Cook...

•

After a power failure, the time on the display may flash,

indicating that the time may not be correct.

•

when you use your oven to bake or roast, it preheats

automatically. the preheat cycle rapidly brings the

oven chamber up to the proper cooking temperature.

it takes several minutes to preheat the oven. preheat

time depends on the temperature settings. the time

may be longer depending on the type of electrical

supply in your community. there is no preheat cycle

for any of the broil modes.

After pressing the clock key, you must enter the time and

press start soon afterward. If you wait longer than six

seconds between pressing keys, the display will go back to

the original setting.

24/12 Hour Clock (Military Time)

the oven is set to 12-hour (non-military) time at the fac-

tory. 24 hour time is also known as military time.

1:36 pm = 13:36 military time.

•

after you pull food out of the oven, it will continue to

cook. this process is called “carry-over.” the larger

the portion of food, the longer it will cook. it is best to

let the meat rest after it comes out of the oven for 10

to 15 minutes before carving. Doing so will allow the

meat to retain its juices and make it easier to carve.

If you want to switch the clock to 24 hour

time or switch from military back to regular

time:

1. press and hold the clock key for six seconds. the

display will indicate the mode the clock is currently set

to, 12 Hr or 24 Hr.

Dacor recommends turning the oven on for one hour

at 500°f to burn off any residual oils used during the

manufacturing process. any of these oils left on the

inner parts can cause an undesirable smell the ﬁrst

few times the oven is used.

2. press the # key to change the clock mode. to leave

the setting as is, do not touch any keys.

3. press CanCel · seCure to return to the main dis-

play. if you have set the clock to 24 hour time, the

keypad will allow you to enter military time when set-

ting the clock.

caution

Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain

on the oven’s surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain or pit.

◊ Baking:

◊ roasting:

◊ Broiling:

The gentle cooking of dry goods such as cookies, cakes, soufﬂés, etc.

the cooking of meats or vegetables over a period of time.

cooking with an intense heat for a short amount of time.

is the stand-by, non-convection mode. all baked items will

turn out nicely in this mode.

wait until the shortest recommended baking time

before checking the food. for most baked goods, a

wooden toothpick placed in the center should come

clean when the food is done.

Operating Your Oven

Your oven offers three convection cooking

modes:

For Multiple Rack Baking

•

typically, when baking on two racks, use rack posi-

tions #1 and #3 or #2 and #4 (counting from the

bottom up).

•

Pure Convection

Convection Bake

Convection roast

•

when adapting a single rack recipe to multiple rack

baking, it may be necessary to add to the baking time

due to the extra bulk of the food in the oven.

as a general rule, in the convection modes time is about

25% shorter. set the timer 15 minutes before the shortest

stated time and add more time if necessary.

For Pure Convection and Convection Bake

modes:

some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may

require adjustment and testing when converting from

standard to convection baking. if you are unsure how to

convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe using the

standard bake settings.

after achieving acceptable results, follow the convection

guidelines in the Dacor cooking guide. if the food is not

cooked to your satisfaction during this ﬁrst convection

trial, adjust one recipe variable at a time (such as cooking

time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the con-

vection test. If necessary, continue adjusting one recipe

variable at a time until you get satisfactory results.

Pure Convection

the uniform air circulation provided by pure convection

allows you to use more oven capacity at once. use this

mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roast-

ing, and preparation of complete meals. many foods,

such as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits, mufﬁns, rolls and

frozen convenience foods can be successfully prepared on

two or three racks at a time. pure convection is also good

for whole roasted duck, lamb shoulder and short leg of

lamb.

Convection Bake

use this mode for single rack baking. the combination of

the convection fan and bottom heat source is best for fruit

crisps, custard pies, double-crusted fruit pies, quiches,

yeast breads in a loaf pan and popovers. also, items

baked in a deep ceramic dish or earthenware clay pots are

best in this mode. most of these items cook in a deep pan

and require browning on the top and bottom.

Understanding the Various Oven Modes (Continued)

Your oven offers two broil modes:

Convection Roast

•

your oven’s convection roast mode uses a combination of

the convection fan and heat sources above and below the

food. it is best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens, etc.

warning

roasting tips

•

To avoid the damage to the meat probe, remove it from

the oven when using either of the broil modes. It can be

damaged by temperatures above 450°F. If the meat probe

is connected the broil modes will not start. The meat probe

symbol will flash when you attempt to start the oven in one

of the broil modes with the meat probe connected.

all baking modes can be used to successfully roast in your

oven.

however, the convection roast mode is recommended to

produce meats that are deliciously seared on the outside

and succulently juicy on the inside in record time. Foods

that are exceptional, when prepared in the convection

roast mode, include: beef, pork, ham, lamb, turkey,

chicken and cornish hens.

Use the Broil and Convection Broil modes only with the oven

door completely closed.

Broiling is a quick and ﬂavorful way to prepare many

foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and

ﬁsh.

always roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan, using a

roasting rack. Always use a pan that ﬁts the size of the

food being prepared. the broiler pan and grill, accompa-

nying the oven, can be used in most cases. no basting is

required when the fat side is up. Do not add water to the

pan. it will cause a steamed effect. roasting is a dry heat

process.

Broil

uses a top heat source. it is best for broiling smaller

amounts of food.

poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a

shallow pan that ﬁts the size of the food. Again, the

broiler pan and grill accompanying the oven can be used.

brush poultry with melted butter, margarine or oil before

and during roasting.

Convection Broil

this mode uses a combination of the convection fan and

a top heat source. it is best for items that do not need to

be ﬂipped such as, thinner cuts of meat, ﬁsh and garlic

bread.

when using the roast mode, do not use pans with tall

sides. they interfere with the circulation of heated air over

the food.

Broiling Tips

if using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway

into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. for

poultry, insert the thermometer probe between the body

and leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh. to ensure

an accurate reading, the tip of the probe should not touch

bone, fat, or gristle. check the meat temperature 2/3 of

the way through the recommended roasting time. after

reading the meat thermometer once, insert it ½ inch

further into the meat, then take a second reading. if the

second temperature registers below the ﬁrst, continue

cooking the meat.

•

it is normal and necessary for some smoke to be

present to give the food a broiled ﬂavor.

setting the timer is recommended to time the broiling

process.

always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage

for excess fat and grease. Doing so will reduce spat-

ter, smoke and ﬂare-ups.

•

start with a room temperature broiler pan for even

cooking.

use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove meats.

never pierce meat with a fork because the natural

juices will escape.

remove meats from the oven when the thermometer reg-

isters 5 to 10°f below the desired temperature. the meat

will continue to carry-over.

•

Broil food on the ﬁrst side for a little more than half of

the recommended time, then season and turn. season

the second side just before removing the food from

the oven.

allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in

order to make carving easier.

roasting times always vary according to the size, shape

and quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat

are best prepared in bake mode and may require moist

cooking techniques. use your favorite cookbook recipes.

to prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler grill.

excess grease will result in heavy smoke. for easier

cleaning, remove the broiler pan and grill when

removing the food.

reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting pan

with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

Timers

Delay Timed Cooking Features

if you want to set the oven to automatically turn itself on

or off at a later time, you can use the delay timed fea-

tures.

warning

The timers on your oven do not turn the oven on or off. They

are only for timing purposes. When you want to turn the oven off

automatically, use the Delay Timed Cooking Features.

Things to Know About Delay Timed

Cooking:

•

the delay timed options work for all of the various

cook modes, except broil and convection broil.

important

Pressing the CanCel · seCure key does NOT reset or stop

the timers.

•

you may use the timers while using the delay timed

features. the timers do not have an effect on any of

the delay timed cooking options.

Your oven is equipped with 2 built-in timers:

•

you can use both of them at the same time.

•

the delay timed cycle can be canceled at any time by

pushing CanCel · seCure.

you can time from 1 minute up to 99 hours and 59

minutes.

warning

Food safety is an important consideration when using the delay

timed features. To avoid potential sickness and the spoiling of

food, take the following steps:

•

the timer symbol appears on the display when one or

both of the timers is in use.

To Use the Timers on Your Oven:

1. press the tImer 1 or tImer 2 key.

•

Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the oven

to start cooking. Typical foods to avoid include: those

containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups and

cooked or uncooked meats, poultry, and fish.

2. enter the hours and minutes to be timed on

the keypad and press start. to enter 11

•

Do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it turns

completely off. When the temperature drops below

140°F, bacteria can develop (after hold mode).

If cooking will not begin immediately, place only very cold or

frozen food into the oven. Most unfrozen foods should never

stand in the oven for more than two hours before cooking

begins.

when the timer is done counting down, the timer number

will ﬂash on the display and the alarm (a beeping sound)

will sound. the alarm for timer 1 and timer 2 have differ-

ent patterns.

8. if you want to set the stop time or cooking duration,

press either the stoP tIme or DuratIon key

(otherwise skip to step 9.) using the DuratIon key

allows you to determine when the oven will stop cook-

ing by entering the amount of time the oven is on.

using the stoP tIme key allows you to determine

when the oven will stop cooking by entering the clock

time. using either key achieves the same result.

•

start tIme: the time the oven starts cooking

DuratIon: the amount of time the oven cooks

before it goes into hold mode.

•

stoP tIme: the clock time the oven turns off and

goes into hold mode.

9. press start.

when you set 2 of the 3 above, the oven automatically

calculates the third.

10. if you entered a start tIme, the oven will start at

the start time entered.

About Hold Mode

11. if you entered a DuratIon or stoP tIme the oven

will cook until the time entered and then, go into hold

mode.

•

when you set the oven to stop cooking using the

DuratIon or stoP tIme keys, it will go into

“hold” mode (Hld appears on the display) when it

reaches the end of the cook time you have set. the

oven will keep the temperature at 150°f for two

hours.

important

The time required to preheat the oven must be included in the

amount of cook time. For cooking temperatures of 350°F and

below, add 13 minutes to the cook time. Increase the cook time

as the temperature increases above 350°F.

•

press CanCel · seCure to turn the oven all the way

4. allow the oven to preheat.

Using the Meat Probe

5. once the oven has preheated, put the meat in the

oven using pot holders. plug the meat probe into the

connector inside the oven.

when you cook foods like roasts and poultry, the internal

temperature is the best way to tell when the food is prop-

erly cooked. your oven’s meat probe is an easy way to

take the guesswork out of roasting. you can use it to cook

food to the exact temperature you desire. the probe can

be set from 100°f to 200°f.

6. push the ProBe key. the preset probe temperature

(160°f), as well at the probe symbol, will

appear on the display. if you want to cook

using a different probe temperature, enter

it on the keypad. use the USDA Minimum

Safe Cooking Temperature Chart as a guideline for

the type of meat you are cooking.

7. press start. if you do not press start, the probe

mode will not start.

when the meat probe is in use, the oven will automati-

cally control the cooking time. the temperature on the

display during cooking is the temperature measured inside

the meat. the oven will continue to cook until the meat

temperature reaches the temperature you have entered.

warning

To avoid the possibility of burns, use hot pads to handle,

connect, and unplug the meat probe when the oven is hot.

•

Use the handles to insert and remove the meat probe’s

skewer and to connect it to the oven. Pushing or pulling

on either end of the cable could damage the meat probe.

To avoid breaking the meat probe, make sure the food is

completely defrosted before inserting the skewer.

when the meat is done, the oven will go into hold mode.

the temperature will reduce to 150°f for two hours to

keep the meat warm and safe for serving. to prevent sick-

ness, do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it has

turned off. press CanCel · seCure to cancel hold mode

and turn the oven completely off.

•

To prevent damage, never leave the meat probe inside

the oven when it is not being used, especially during the

self-clean cycle.

To change the meat probe temperature

during cooking:

1. press ProBe. the current probe temperature will

appear on the display.

Using a meat probe other than the one provided with your

oven may result in damage to the probe and/or the oven.

2. enter the new temperature. the oven will automati-

cally change to the new probe temperature. if you

do not enter a temperature, the oven will continue to

cook at the current setting.

note

•

The meat probe does not work with Broil or Convection Broil

and Sabbath modes. Plug in the meat probe when using the

above modes, the meat probe symbol will flash indicating an

error.

To change the cooking mode during meat

probe cooking:

If the meat probe is accidently disconnected after the

PROBE key is pressed, the meat probe symbol will flash

and the error message “OPn” will appear on the display.

1. press the CanCel · seCure key.

2. press the BaKe, ConV BaKe, Pure ConV or ConV

roast key. if you want to cook using temperature

different that the oven preset temperature, enter it on

the number keypad.

To use the meat probe:

1. prepare the meat for cooking prior to setting the

oven. insert the meat probe skewer into the center

of the meat. make sure that the skewer is not inside

any fatty portions of the meat and does not touch any

bones. the point should rest in the thickest part of

the meat. when you are cooking fowl, the tip of the

skewer should rest toward the center of the bird.

3. press start.

continued....

2. before placing the meat in the oven and with the door

closed, push the BaKe, ConV BaKe, Pure ConV

Operating Your Oven

When you dehydrate:

Dehydrating/Defrosting

your oven can be used to dehydrate or defrost foods at

low heat settings in the pure convection mode.

1. wash and remove excess moisture from all fruits and

vegetables before dehydrating.

2. cut fruits and vegetables into uniform pieces.

3. You can add honey, spices, lime juice, or orange juice

warning

To avoid food poisoning, cook meats immediately after defrosting

them.

to give the fruit a different ﬂavor.

4. it is best to dehydrate on a baking rack with a pan

underneath to catch any juices. If the fruit is small,

use cheesecloth over the rack. if you use a rack, it

will allow for maximum air circulation around the fruit.

the cheesecloth will prevent the fruit from sticking to

the rack.

To dehydrate or defrost foods:

1. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.

2. place the food on the center of the oven rack. (if you

are dehydrating, prepare food as recommended, then

place it on a drying rack.)

5. place the food onto the center of the oven rack.

Solving Discoloration Problems:

3. press the Pure ConV key.

•

to prevent darkening during dehydration and storage,

you should steam blanch apples, apricots, peaches,

nectarines, pears or foods that will oxidize.

4. to defrost meats, enter the temperature up to 150°f

on the keypad. to dehydrate, start by setting the

temperature according to the table below. when

dehydrating, you may need to experiment with higher

temperatures.

to steam blanch:

1. add 1 inch of water to a 4 quart sauce pot. insert the

steam basket and place the fruit in it.

5. press start.

2. cover the pot and steam for 1 to 2 minutes.

apples, pears, pineapples and some other fruits will brown

or darken during dehydration. to prevent discoloration,

dip fruits in pineapple juice or lemon juice after steam

blanching.

Dacor recommends that you use one of the timers to time

the process.

Creating a Candied Effect

Dehydrating Tips

to give the fruit a candied effect and to help retain color,

blanch them in a simple syrup. you can candy the fruits

mentioned above as well as ﬁgs and plums. The basic

ratio for a simple syrup is 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of

water. add these ingredients to a 4 quart stock pot and

bring to a boil. stir until all the sugar dissolves. remove

the saucepan from the cooktop and allow it to cool. Dip

fruit into the simple syrup after it has cooled.

equipment recommended:

•

Half sheet pan or jelly roll pan with ½” rim all the way

around

•

Baking rack that ﬁts inside the half sheet pan

cheesecloth

4 quart sauce pot with lid

Steamer basket that ﬁts inside 4 quart saucepan. One

Operating Your Oven

Dehydrating/Defrosting (Cont.) Proofing

you can use your oven to proof yeasted doughs at a low a

and draft-free temperature using the bake mode.

Preventing Tough Skins when Dehydrating

you should water blanch items with tough skins such as

grapes, prunes, dark plums, cherries, ﬁgs and some types

of berries. water blanching these types of fruit will crack

the skins so that moisture can escape and dehydration

can be done more effectively.

1. press the BaKe key*.

2. enter the temperature of 100°f on the keypad.

3. press start.

4. place the dough in a greased bowl inside of the oven.

cover it with either a damp cloth or plastic wrap

coated with a nonstick spray.

to water blanch:

1. bring 2 quarts of water to boil in a 4 quart sauce pot.

5. turn on the oven lights.

2. Drop the fruit in the water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until

the skin begins to crack.

6. set the timer for the amount of rise time in the recipe.

3. remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and dab dry

with a paper towel before dehydrating. the pit can be

left inside or removed half way through the dehydrat-

ing process.

* some double oven models have a ProoF key for the

lower oven. if your oven is equipped with the ProoF

key, you may press it instead of the BaKe key. when the

using the ProoF key, the oven presets the temperature.

Defrosting Tips

Sabbath Mode

•

food that takes an exceptional amount of time to

defrost will not defrost well in a convection oven.

the sabbath mode on your oven complies with Jewish

laws for use on the sabbath and holy Days. this feature

allows the oven to perform two types of cooking, bake

and pure convection. the settings the oven will run during

the sabbath or holy Day can be set in advance using the

delay time cooking feature.

•

you should not defrost anything that would normally

take over 2 hours to thaw. the food will begin to spoil

because the defrost temperature is not high enough

to cook the food.

•

if you have a partially defrosted turkey, rib roast or

other large cut of meat, you may continue to defrost it

in your convection oven. if wing tips and legs begin to

dry out when you defrost poultry, you may wrap the

tips with aluminum foil.

when the oven is set to sabbath modes, it disables the

following features:

•

the oven lights

all keys, except CanCel · seCure and the 0 and 2

keys on the number keypad

•

if you are defrosting a small cut of meat, lay it on a

ﬂat cookie sheet with a 1-inch rim to catch juices as

the meat thaws.

note

thick, frozen casseroles such as lasagna will not

defrost well in your oven. instead, defrost accord-

ing to the food manufacturer’s suggestions. you can

defrost casseroles in the refrigerator overnight. you

should leave the food in its original container and

keep it covered.

•

“SAb” appears on the display when Sabbath mode is in

operation.

If one or both timers are running, the oven cancels timer

operation when Sabbath mode is selected.

Sabbath mode will not work with the meat probe connected

(the meat probe symbol will flash.)

•

you can bake some foods from frozen. some exam-

ples are: pizza, frozen pastries, croissants, cookies,

etc. before baking frozen food, allow the oven to

preheat.

In the event of a power outage, the oven will return to

Sabbath mode when power is restored.

You may want to use a rack thermometer to keep track of

the oven temperature.

Setting Up the Sabbath Feature

1. press the # key then the BaKe or Pure ConV key.

2. press the 0 or 2 keys to pre-select the cooking tem-

perature.

3. press the start key. the oven will go into sabbath

mode and cook in the mode selected in step 1.

Operating Your Oven

•

when the oven is cooking, pressing the 2 key on

Things to Know about the Sabbath Mode

the number keypad tells the oven to raise the tem-

perature by 25°f (15°c). pressing the 0 key on the

number keypad tells the oven to lower the tempera-

ture by 25°f (15°c). in compliance with Jewish law,

the bake elements will be adjusted randomly when

these keys are pressed and no changes will be seen

on the display. on double ovens, you must press the

BaKe or Pure ConV key for the oven on which you

want the temperature changed before pressing the 0

or 2 key.

•

the CanCel · seCure key on your oven remains

active so that you can turn off the sabbath feature or

turn off the oven. on double ovens, both CanCel ·

seCure keys remain active so you can turn off one

oven and leave the other oven running.

•

on double ovens, you may repeat steps 2 - 4 to start

the other oven. some double ovens are equipped for

pure convection on only one oven.

Cooking Tips

Food Placement

•

typically, when baking on two racks, use rack posi-

tions #2 and #4 or #1 and #3. when baking on three

racks, use rack positions #1, #3 and #5.

•

turn pans on the racks so that the long sides run left

to right, as you face them.

when you are cooking a food item that is very heavy,

use the Dacor gliderack oven rack. you can pull it out

further than a conventional rack, making it easier to

check the food, stir, or add ingredients.

•

heavier roasting pans and dishes will cook better on

rack position #1.

when using a baking stone, use rack position #1 for

best results.

if you put a baking stone on the gliderack oven rack,

instead of one of the standard oven racks, you can

pull the stone out of the oven further, making pizza

easier to remove.

Cooking Tips

The Best Use of Bake Ware

High Altitude Cooking

•

You should bake cakes, quick breads, mufﬁns, and

cookies in shiny, reﬂective pans for light, golden

crusts. avoid old, darkened, warped, dented, stainless

steel and tin-coated pans.

Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher alti-

tudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. therefore, recipe

adjustments should be made in some cases. In general,

no recipe adjustment is necessary for yeast-risen baked

goods, although allowing the dough or batter to rise twice

before the ﬁnal pan rising develops a better ﬂavor. Try

making the adjustments below for successful recipes. Take

note of the changes that work best and mark your reci-

pes accordingly. you may also consult a cookbook on high

altitude cooking for speciﬁc recommendations.

•

they heat unevenly and will not give good baking

results. use medium gauge aluminum sheets with

low sides when preparing cookies, biscuits and cream

puffs. Dacor cookie sheets, with their low proﬁles, will

give you the best results.

•

bake most frozen foods in their original foil contain-

ers, placed ﬂat on a cookie sheet. Follow the package

Care and Cleaning

How to Use the Self-Clean Feature

warning

•

Clean only the parts of the oven listed in this manual. Clean

them only in the manner specified.

important

On double ovens, the control panel will only allow one oven

chamber to be self-cleaned at a time due to the amount of power

consumed. Also, the double oven’s computer will not allow you to

cook in one oven while the other is in self-clean mode.

To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your oven’s

surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning

solutions specified in this manual.

•

To avoid burns, turn off the oven(s) and make sure that all

parts are cool before cleaning.

1. before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the

convection ﬁlter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.),

the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from

the oven chamber. See page 25 for ﬁlter cleaning

instructions.

To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive

cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads,

on any part of the oven unless instructed to do so. Use

only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush or nylon

cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your oven.

2. clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door

outside of the door gasket. rinse surfaces well with

a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. heav-

ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching

scouring pad.

•

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven. Steam could

penetrate the electrical components and cause a short

circuit.

Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such

as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your

oven’s surfaces.

3. clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of

water and mild soap.

caution

Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket.

Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal

required for proper cooking and self-cleaning.

Your Oven’s Self-Clean Feature

About the Self-Clean Cycle

•

the oven will run better and produce better baked

goods when it is clean. During self-cleaning, the

oven is heated to very high temperatures which burn

off any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. self-

cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of

interior surfaces. the self-clean process takes about 2

to 4 hours.

Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. Damage

to the door or latch may result.

4. turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors

during the self-clean cycle.

5. make sure the oven door is shut.

6. press the selF Clean key.

•

it is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the

ﬁrst few self-clean cycles. It is also normal for the

oven to emit popping sounds during self-cleaning.

these sounds are caused by the expansion and con-

traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and

cools down.

7. press the 2, 3 or 4 key to select the desired self-clean

time, 2, 3 or 4 hours (light, medium and heavy.)

Longer self-clean times are for cleaning a heavier

build up of grease and grime.

ture disables the keys. when the control panel is locked,

Care and Cleaning

to clean the filter:

Stainless Steel Surfaces

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.

caution

Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the

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

scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces.

Installing your oven’s convection filter:

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 por-

celain surfaces with the back of the ﬁlter.

using a soft cloth, clean metal surfaces with a mild solu-

tion of detergent and warm water. rinse and dry with a

soft, lint-free cloth.

Glass (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 direc-

tions 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

the lens.

Cleaning the Interior

Convection Filter

warning

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.

clips

Door Gasket (Seal)

warning

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.

take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket.

rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal

required for proper cooking and self-cleaning.

clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of

water and mild soap. Do not scrub it or it will become

damaged.

removing your oven’s convection filter:

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

of the ﬁlter and gently push up.

Oven Racks

caution

to prevent damage, do not self-clean the oven racks.

to clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent

and hot water. when you need to clean heavy soil, use a

scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. you

may also use a solution of one cup of ammonia to 2 gal-

lons of water.

if you accidentally leave the racks in the oven during

self-cleaning, you can polish them to make them easier to

slide. polish the rack edges with a soapy steel wool pad.

then apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the edges

so that the racks slide more easily. be aware that polish-

ing will not completely remove the discoloration.

Care and Cleaning

Meat Probe

Optional Baking Stone

wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub

warning

to prevent damage, do not immerse the meat probe in

water.

it clean before you use it for the ﬁrst time. Do not use

any soap or detergents to wash the stone. the stone is

porous and soap will get trapped inside. the trapped soap

will affect the ﬂavor of the food cooked on it. Don’t be

alarmed if the stone gets stains on it after it is used for

a while. stains do not affect the stone’s ability to bake

properly.

the meat probe is constructed of silicone handles, a wire,

a plug and a stainless steel skewer. to clean the skewer,

use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water. when you clean

the handles, wipe them with a soft sponge soaked with a

solution of detergent and warm water.

when you need to remove large food particles from the

baking stone, use warm water and a scrub brush. if there

is a lot of oil build-up, it may smoke and create odors. if

you need to remove the oily build up, use a scouring pad

or brush to remove it. you may also use a paste of baking

soda and water to scrub off small stains.

Optional Cookie Sheets

clean the optional aluminum cookie sheets with a solu-

tion of detergent and warm water. since aluminum can

scratch, you need to use the soft side of a sponge. a way

for you to keep cookie sheets cleaner is to use parchment

paper over the cooking surface during baking. the parch-

ment paper will also prevent food from sticking.

Broil Pan

Your broil pan has a porcelain enamel ﬁnish. When you

clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. if your

broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad with plenty

of water. rinse it well after cleaning.

Optional Roast/Broil Pan with “V” Shaped

Rack

Your roast/broil pan has a porcelain enamel ﬁnish. When

you clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. if

your roast/broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad

and plenty of water. rinse it well after cleaning.

The optional “V” shaped rack is ﬁnished with an Excalibur

nonstick coating. when you clean it, use a mild solution of

detergent and warm water. use the soft side of a sponge

to scrub it and dry it with a lint-free cloth.

Care and Cleaning

Replacing the Light Bulbs

warning

important

•

To prevent electrical shock and/or personal injury, make

certain that the oven and light bulb(s) are cool and that

power to the oven has been turned off at the main power

supply before replacing the light bulb(s).

Do not touch the replacement halogen light bulbs with

your ﬁngers. Halogen bulbs are sensitive to the oils

from your hand. the oils from your hand will stick to

the bulb and cause it to burn out faster than normal.

•

Always make sure the lens covers are in place when using

the oven(s). The lens covers protect the light bulbs from

breakage caused by high oven temperatures or mechanical

shock.

4. when reinstalling the lens, line up the cut-out on the

inside rim with the light socket. gently press it into its

original position.

•

Use the pry stick with caution. Do not cause uneven stress

on the lens cover.

Replacing the lens cover without lining up the cut-out with

the light socket will damage the light fixture.

Light bulb replacement is considered to be a homeowner

maintenance operation. if the lights do not work, before

replacing them, please consult the Problem Solution
