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.

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.

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.

Setting the Temperature Scale

You can select the temperature scale (Fahrenheit or Cel- sius) the oven uses to display the cooking temperature. The oven is preset at the factory to Fahrenheit.

To change the temperature scale:

1.Press and hold the BROIL key (under UPPER OVEN on double ovens) for six seconds.

2.The display will indicate the temperature scale the control panel is currently set to, ???F??? or ???C???.

3.Press the # key to change the temperature scale. To leave the setting as is, do not touch any keys.

4.Press CANCEL ?? SECURE. The control panel will go back to the regular clock display, set to the new tem- perature scale.

Before You Cook...

???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.

???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 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.

CAUTION

Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the oven???s surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain or pit.

Racks

You may use either rack type on any level inside the oven.

warning

To reduce the chance of burns, position the oven racks when the oven is cool. If you must reposition a rack when the oven is hot, use pot holders.

To insert the standard oven racks...

1.Insert the end of the rack with the safety notches into the oven first.

2.Attach both sides of the rack to the rack supports in the oven as shown in the diagram below.

3.Begin to slide the rack in, and then, lift up so that the safety notches clear the ends of the rack supports.

4.Push the rack all the way in with both hands.

To remove the standard oven racks...

???If you want to remove an oven rack, grasp it with both hands and pull gently straight out toward you until it stops.

???To remove the rack completely, lift the front of the rack up about six inches and continue to pull it out. Lifting the rack releases the safety notches. The safety notches reduce the chances of a rack coming out of the oven accidentally.

Starting Your Oven

1.Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.

2.Determine the best cooking mode for the type of food to be cooked.

Select from the following...

???CONVECTION BAKE - A combination of the

convection fan and a bottom heat source. Good for single rack items in a deep pan.

??? CONVECTION BROIL - A combination of the convection fan and a top heat source.

Good for items that do not need to be flipped, such as thinner cuts of meat, fish, and garlic bread.

??? PURE CONVECTION??? - Uses convection cook- ing only for even heat. Use for baked goods and multiple rack cooking.

???BAKE - Cooks with a bottom heat source only. Commonly used for basic recipes.

???BROIL - Cooks using a top heat source alone. Use for grilling smaller cuts of meat or toasting bread.

???CONVECTION ROAST - Combines top and

bottom heat sources with the convection

fan. Best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens, etc.

important

The broil modes will not work when the meat probe is connected.

See pages 12 to 14 for detailed descriptions of the various cooking modes.

1.Press the key for the desired cooking mode. The preset (jump-in) temperature will appear on the dis- play along with the symbol(s) for the selected cook- ing mode (see above). On double ovens, select the desired oven by pressing the cooking mode key under UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN on the control panel.

2.To cook at the preset temperature, press START. To cook at a different temperature enter it (for example 4-2-5) on the number keypad, then press START. You can enter any temperature between 100??F and 555??F. The suggested broil temperature is 555??F. Double ovens have only one START key, on the left side of the control panel. Use it to start both ovens.

3.If you are using Pure Convection or one of the bake or roast modes, ???PRE-??? for preheating, along with the current oven temperature will appear on the display until the oven reaches the set temperature. Once the oven reaches the set temperature (usually in 15 to 20 minutes), it will beep and ???PRE-??? will disappear. Care- fully place your food in the oven. Excessive browning will occur if you put the food in too soon.

Turning Off Your Oven

To turn the oven off, press the CANCEL ?? SECURE key. On double ovens, press the CANCEL ?? SECURE key under

UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

note

After you turn off the oven, the cooling fans may continue to run until the oven???s internal parts have cooled down.

Changing the Temperature

To change to a different temperature while the oven is on:

1.Press the key for the current cooking mode. The cur- rent cooking mode appears on the display (for exam- ple BAKE).

2.Enter the temperature on the keypad (for example 3-7-5) and press START.

important

If you increase the temperature by 50??F or more, the oven will go into preheat mode to raise the temperature rapidly to the new setting. ???PRE-??? will appear on the display. To prevent excessive browning Dacor recom- mends that you remove the food from the oven when ???PRE-??? appears on the display.

Changing the Oven Cooking Mode

To change to a different cooking mode while the oven is on, for example to change from Convection Bake to Bake:

1.Press the key for the new cooking mode, for example

BAKE.

2.Press START.

Preset (Jump-in) Temperature Settings

Your oven has a preset ???jump-in??? temperature setting for each of the cooking modes to reduce the need to always enter the temperature. See the table below. See Starting Your Oven for directions on how to cook at the preset temperature.

Lock-Out Feature

If you want to disable the keys on the control panel when the oven is not in use:

???Push and hold the CANCEL ?? SECURE key for about three seconds. The control panel keys will stop work- ing and ???OFF??? will appear on the display. Only the CANCEL ?? SECURE and the oven light keys remain functional. On double ovens, pressing either CANCEL ?? SECURE key locks the control panel for both ovens.

???To reactivate the control panel, press and hold the CANCEL ?? SECURE key for three seconds.

note

Using the lock-out feature turns off the timers if they are in use.

12 Hour Timer Feature

Your oven is equipped with a feature that automatically turns it off after 12 hours of continuous use. The 12 hour timer resets if you change the cooking temperature or cooking mode.

The oven ships from the factory with the 12 hour timer enabled.

note

The 12 hour timer is disabled when the Sabbath feature is in use.

To disable or enable the 12 hour timer

feature...

???With the oven off, push and hold the TIMER 1 key for about ten seconds, until the control panel beeps and ???12Hr??? appears on the display. ???ON??? will appear on the display if the 12 hour timer is enabled.

???Push the # key to disable (or enable) the 12 hour timer.

???Push CANCEL ?? SECURE to save the changes and return to the clock display.

Bake

Uses only a heat source from below the food. This mode is the stand-by, non-convection mode. All baked items will turn out nicely in this mode.

Baking Tips

???Follow your recipe???s original cooking time and tem- perature.

???Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. Look through the oven door window to check the progress of baking whenever possible.

???Use the timers to determine baking time.

???Use the lowest rack position.

???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.

Your oven offers three convection cooking

modes...

???Pure Convection

???Convection bake

???Convection roast

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.

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 convection test. If necessary, continue adjust- ing 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.

AIR FLOW

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).

???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.

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.

Continued...

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.

Roasting Tips

All baking modes can be used to 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.

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.

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.

When using the roast mode, do not use pans with tall sides. They interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.

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 ?? inch further into the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.

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.

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.

Reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

Your oven offers two broil modes...

???Broil

???Convection broil

warning

???To avoid damage to the meat probe, remove it from the oven when using either of the broil modes. 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.

???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.

Broil

Uses a top heat source. It is best for broiling smaller amounts of food.

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.

Broiling Tips

???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.

???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.

???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.

Timers

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.

note

Pressing the CANCEL ?? SECURE key does NOT reset or stop the timers.

Your oven is equipped with two built-in

timers...

???You can use both of them at the same time.

???You can time from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes.

???The timer symbol appears on the display when one or both of the timers is in use.

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.

Things to Know About Delay Timed Cooking

???The delay timed options work for all of the various cook modes, except Broil and Convection Broil.

???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.

???The delay timed cycle can be canceled at any time by pushing CANCEL ?? SECURE.

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:

???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.

???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.

The Three Ways to Use Delay Timed Cooking

???Set the time the oven turns on (START TIME) and set it to turn off at a later time using either the DURATION key or the STOP TIME key.

???Set the START TIME only, then turn the oven off manu- ally when you are done cooking.

???Turn the oven on manually and set it to turn off at a later time using either the DURATION key or the STOP TIME key.

Continued...

About the 3 Delay Timed Settings

The delay timed cooking keys are:

???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.

When you set 2 of the 3 above, the oven automatically calculates the third.

About 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.

???Press CANCEL ?? SECURE to turn the oven all the way off.

???To prevent sickness, do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it is off (after hold mode turns off.)

Using Delay Timed Cooking

note

Delay-timed cooking cannot be used in Sabbath mode.

1.Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.

2.Put the food in the oven.

3.Press the key for the desired cooking mode (except Broil or Convection Broil.)

4.Enter the desired cooking temperature on the number keypad.

5.If you want to turn the oven on immediately and turn off automatically at a later time, skip to step 8.

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.

9.Press START.

10.If you entered a START TIME, the oven will start at the start time entered.

11.If you entered a DURATION or STOP TIME the oven will cook until the time entered and then, go into hold mode.

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.

Other Things to Know About Delayed Timed Cooking

When the oven is in delay timed mode...

Push the CLOCK key to view the time.

Push the START TIME key to view the current start time setting.

Push the STOP TIME key to view the current cook time setting.

Push the DURATION key to view the current cook time setting.

Using the Meat Probe

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.

Skewer

Plug

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.

???To prevent damage, never leave the meat probe inside the oven when it is not being used, especially during the self clean cycle.

???Using a meat probe other than the one provided with your oven may result in damage to the probe and/or the oven.

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.

???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.

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.

2.Before placing the meat in the oven and with the door closed, push the BAKE, CONV BAKE, PURE CONV or CONV ROAST key. The preset temperature will appear on the display. If you want to cook using a different oven temperature, enter it on the number keypad.

3.Press START.

4.Allow the oven to preheat. Excessive browning may occur if the meat is placed in the oven during preheat mode (when ???PRE-??? appears on the display).

5.Once the oven has preheated (???PRE-??? disappears), put the meat in the oven using pot holders. Insert the meat probe plug into the connector inside the oven.

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 on page 18 as a guide- line 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.

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 change the meat probe temperature

Your oven can be used to dehydrate or defrost foods at low heat settings in the Pure Convection mode.

warning

To avoid food poisoning, cook meats immediately after defrosting them.

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.)

3.Press the PURE CONV key.

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.

5.Press START.

Dacor recommends that you use one of the timers to time the process.

Dehydrating Tips

Equipment Recommended:

???Half sheet pan or jelly roll pan with ????? 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 that is perforated and opens up will work well.

???Slotted spoon

???Paper towels

???A sharp knife

When you dehydrate...

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 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.

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

Solving Discoloration Problems

???To prevent darkening during dehydration and storage, you should steam blanch apples, apricots, peaches, nectarines, pears or foods that will oxidize.

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.

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

3.Remove with a slotted spoon and dab with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before dehydrating.

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.

Creating a Candied Effect

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.

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.

To water blanch...

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

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

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.

Defrosting Tips

???Food that takes an exceptional amount of time to defrost will not defrost well in a convection oven.

???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.

???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.

???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.

???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.

Proofing

You can use your oven to proof yeasted doughs at a low and draft-free temperature using the Bake mode.

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.

5.Turn on the oven lights.

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

* 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.

Sabbath Mode

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.

When the oven is set to Sabbath mode, it disables the fol- lowing features:

???The oven lights

???All keys, except CANCEL ?? SECURE , START and the 0 and 2 keys on the number keypad.

note

??????SAb??? appears on the display when Sabbath mode is in operation.

???As with all other cooking modes, when setting the control panel for Sabbath operation all keys must be pressed within 6 seconds of each other. Otherwise the control panel will automatically clear.

???On double oven models, you cannot use one oven in normal mode when the other oven is running in Sabbath mode.

???Sabbath mode will not work with the meat probe connected (the meat probe symbol will flash).

???Delay-timed cooking cannot be used in Sabbath mode.

???In the event of a power outage, the oven will return to Sabbath mode at the temperature it was last set to when power is restored.

???If one or both timers are running, the oven cancels timer operation when Sabbath mode is selected.

???You may want to use a rack thermometer to keep track of the oven temperature.

Setting Up the Sabbath Feature

1.Press the # key.

2.Press the BAKE or PURE CONV key. On double ovens, be sure to press the BAKE or PURE CONV key for the oven you want to use.

3.Press the 0 or 2 keys repeatedly if you want to change the pre-selected cooking temperature shown on the display.

4.Press (only) the START key. The oven will go into Sabbath mode and cook using the method selected in step 2.

Things to Know about Sabbath Mode

???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 oven models are equipped for Pure Convection on only one oven.

???When the oven is cooking, pressing the 2 key on the number keypad, then START, tells the oven to raise the temperature by 25??F (15??C). Pressing the 0 key on the number keypad, then START, tells the oven to lower the temperature 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.

Please visit www.star-k.org for further information about Sabbath compliance and usage of this product.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Your oven is equipped with a feature that allows you to calibrate the temperature inside the oven to match the display value without the help of a service technician. Due to various conditions, the actual temperature inside may vary somewhat from the displayed temperature. The set- ting may also vary from mode to mode.

warning

Do not adjust the probe or self clean offset temperatures. The offset for the probe and self clean offsets must remain at 0 for proper and/or safe operation.

To change the offset temperature:

1.Place an oven thermometer inside the oven.

2.Check the temperature variance by running the oven for one hour in each mode at 350??F (except broil modes). In broil the normal operating temperature is 555??F. Take note of the temperature variance in each mode.

3.With the oven off, press and hold the 0 and # keys on the number keypad at the same time. After about three seconds ???PASS??? will appear on the display.

4.Immediately enter 6428 on the number keypad, then START. ???SLCt??? (select) will appear on the display.

5.Press the key for cooking mode you want to change the offset for (CONV BAKE, CONV BROIL, PURE CONV, CONV ROAST, BAKE or BROIL).

6.Enter an offset temperature value from 1 to 35??F (1 to 18 for ovens set to Celsius). Press the # key after entering the numeric value if you want the offset to be a negative (-) value. Press # again to toggle the (-) setting off. NOTE: ???Edit??? appears on the display when you start to enter the offset value.

7.Press START to save the setting.

8.Repeat steps 5 and 6 above for any other cooking modes you need to offset.

9.Press CANCEL to exit offset mode.

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.

The Best Use of Bake Ware

???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. 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 recommendations.

???When using glass bake ware, reduce the recipe tem- perature by 25??F, except when baking pies or yeast breads. Follow the standard recipe baking time for pies and yeast breads.

???Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe for best results.

???For roasting, Dacor???s optional ???V??? shaped rack and broil/roast pan works best to allow air circulation around the food.

???Dacor???s roasting pan works particularly well and two of them will fit side by side in a 30-inch oven.

High Altitude Cooking

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.

warning

???Clean only the parts of the oven listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.

???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.

???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.

???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.

How to Use the Self Clean Feature

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.

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.

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.

3.Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of water and mild soap.

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.

???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.

???Self clean mode will not function if the meat probe is connected.

warning

???Always wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp cloth prior to using the self clean cycle. Doing so will minimize smoke and increase efficiency. See proper cleaning instructions on this page.

???Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the self clean cycle. They will be hot.

???Items left in the oven during self cleaning will become damaged or damage the oven. See page 25 for directions on polishing a rack that is left in the oven during self cleaning.

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.

???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.

7.Press the DURATION key, then the 2, 3 or 4 key to select the number of hours of self clean time (2-light, 3-medium and 4-heavy). Longer self clean times are for cleaning a heavier build up of grease and grime.

8.Press the START key (located on the far left of the control panel.)

The control panel automatically locks the oven door during self cleaning. The latch prevents the door from being opened since the high interior oven temperatures can easily cause injury. If the door is not shut, an error message will appear on the display. To correct the prob- lem, press CANCEL ?? SECURE and wait approximately one minute, then close the door. When the door is prop- erly closed, start the self clean process again.

The display shows the self clean cycle status:

??? The clean symbol indicates that self clean is in process.

???The lock symbol indicates that the door is latched.

??????ON??? indicates that the heating elements are on.

Self Clean (Cont.)

NOTE

???The oven lights do not operate while the oven is in self clean mode to protect them from damage.

???Self clean will not work with the meat probe connected (the meat probe symbol will flash.)

If you want to stop the self clean cycle, press the CANCEL ?? SECURE key. Keep in mind that the oven door will remain locked until it is safe enough to open. The lock symbol will disappear from the display when the door lock is released. You will still need to exercise caution when the door lock is released because the inside of the oven may still be hot.

After the self clean cycle is complete...

???The door latch will release when the inside has cooled down. The clean icon, lock icon and ???ON??? will disap- pear from the display. Exercise caution because the oven will still be hot (about 400??F) at the time the door lock is released.

???Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before using your oven.

???You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of the oven after self cleaning. This condition is normal. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the oven cools down.

Self Cleaning Tips

???If any soil remains in the oven after the self clean cycle is done, you may repeat the cycle if you want.

???Self clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. Doing so will make the self clean cycle work better and reduce smoke and odors.

Setting the Oven to Self Clean at a Later Time

1.Prepare the oven for self cleaning as instructed on page 23. Observe all safety precautions and remove all items listed from inside the oven. Clean the door gasket and around the door as instructed.

2.Close the oven door.

3.Press the SELF CLEAN key.

4.Press the 2, 3 or 4 key to select the desired self clean time.

5.Press the START TIME key.

6.Enter the desired start time. For example, press 1-2-3-0 for 12:30. You may enter a time up to 22 hours and 59 minutes ahead of the present time.

7.Press START. When you press START, ???DELAY??? will appear on the display and the oven door will lock. The oven will start to self clean at the time selected.

When the oven is set to clean at a later time...

???If you want to view the time, push the CLOCK key.

???If the clock is displayed, you can push START TIME to check when the self clean cycle will start.

???When the self clean cycle starts, ???DELAY??? will disap- pear and ???ON??? will appear on the display.

To cancel the time delayed self clean cycle...

???Press CANCEL/SECURE.

???If the self clean process has not started, allow about a minute for the door to unlock before attempting to use the oven.

???If the oven is in the middle of the self clean process, the door will unlock when the oven has cooled down enough to open safely. The oven will still be hot (about 400 ??F.)

Cleaning the Exterior

Control Panel

warning

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 six seconds. The lock-out fea- ture 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 six 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.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

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.

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.

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.

Removing your oven???s convection filter...

When the oven is cool, put your fingers around the edges of the filter and gently push up.

To clean the filter...

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.

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.

Clips

Door Gasket (Seal)

warning

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.

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.

Meat Probe

warning

To prevent damage, do not immerse the meat probe in water.

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.

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 and grill are 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.

Optional Baking Stone

Wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub 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.

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.
