General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your oven, follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:
Important Safety Instructions
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your
dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
• 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 circuit breaker panel or fuse
box so that you know where and how to turn off power to the
oven.
• 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.
• Before performing any type of service, make sure that
the electrical power to the oven is turned off at the circuit
breaker panel or fuse box.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 or touch other parts of the oven.
• Do not store items of interest to children above the oven.
Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the
appliance.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• 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 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.
• 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.
WARNING
• 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.
• Clean and maintain the oven regularly as instructed in this
manual. Keep the entire oven free of grease that could catch
fire.
• 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 in an oven. Certain types of
glass, ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use in
an oven. Personal injury or damage may result from the
improper use of cookware.
• Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before looking or reaching inside.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food. 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.
• For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the
convection filter installed. When the filter is not installed, the
spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed.
• 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.
• Do not leave 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.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds.
Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during
cooking.
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to
remain on the oven’s surfaces. The porcelain finish may
stain or pit.

Operating Your Oven - The Basics
Important Things to Know Before
Operation
• Dacor recommends turning the oven on for one hour
at 500°F (260°C) 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 rst few times the oven is used.
• When you use your oven in one of the convection,
bake or roast modes, it preheats automatically. The
preheat cycle rapidly brings the oven chamber up to
the proper cooking temperature. Wait for the oven
to nish preheating (Insert Food appears on the
display) before placing the food in the oven. Excessive
browning will occur if you put the food in the oven
while it is preheating.
• While the oven is preheating the actual oven tempera-
ture will appear on the display, next to the tempera-
ture setting. It takes several minutes to preheat the
oven. Preheat time depends on the temperature set-
tings. 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 meat rest for 10 to 15 minutes after it comes
out of the oven before carving. Doing so will allow the
meat to retain its juices and make it easier to carve.
• After you turn off the oven, the cooling fans may con-
tinue to run until the internal parts have cooled down.
• Broil modes do not work with the meat probe con-
nected.
• This unit has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-
ference in a residential installation. This unit gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this unit does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the unit off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
◊ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
◊ Increase the distance between the unit and
receiver.
◊ Connect the unit into an outlet or a circuit differ-
ent from that to which the receiver is connected.
Preset Temperature Settings
Your oven has a suggested preset temperature setting for
each of the cooking modes to reduce the need to always
enter the temperature each time you cook. See the table
below. You have the choice (in most cooking modes) of
cooking at the preset cooking temperature or selecting a
different one. See Starting Your Oven.
Cooking Mode Preset Temperature
Bake 350°F (176°C)
Broil 550°F (287°C)
Convection Bake 325°F (162°C)

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 rack...
1. Insert the end of the rack with the safety notches into
the oven rst.
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 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.
To insert a GlideRack oven rack...
Your oven also comes with Dacor GlideRack oven racks.
You can pull a GlideRack oven rack out further than a
standard rack and still support heavy pots and pans full of
food. It is great for heavier foods and the optional Dacor
baking stone.
1. Align both sets of safety clips (right and left) on the
back of the rack guides with the oven rack supports as
shown below. NOTE: The diagram below shows instal-
lation with the rack guides extended but, the rack
may be installed with or without the guides extended,
whichever is easier.
2. Begin to slide the rack in, lifting the front safety clips
over the front of the oven rack supports.
3. Push the rack all the way in.
4. Grasp the rack in the center of the front and pull. The
rack should come forward while the guides remain in
place.
To remove a GlideRack oven rack...
• Grasp the rack with both hands and pull it gently
straight out toward you until it stops.
• Lift up until the front safety clips just clear the front
of the rack supports on the oven. Continue to pull out.
Moving the end of the rack back and forth slightly, left
to right, as you pull, will make it easier to remove.

Modes
Your Oven's Two Pure Convection
Mode
s
• Pure Convection
• Pure Convection Sear
About Pure Convection
Pure Convection uses the convection element
and fan. 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, roasting, and preparation of com-
plete meals. Many foods, such as pizzas, cakes, cookies,
biscuits, mufns, 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.
IMPORTANT
As a general rule, modes that utilize convection have cooking
times that are about 25% shorter. You may want to set the timer
15 minutes before the shortest stated time and add more time if
necessary.
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
rst 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.
Operating Your Oven - The Basics
For multiple rack baking...
• Typically, when baking on two racks with your oven,
use rack positions #3 and #5 (counting from the
bottom up). When baking on three racks, use rack
positions #2, #4 and #6.
• 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.
Pure Convection Sear
Pure Convection sear uses the convection ele-
ment and fan. In Pure Convection Sear mode,
the oven cooks the meat 75°F (42°C) higher than the set
temperature for the rst 15 minutes. The resulting brown-
ing process sears the surface of the meat to keep the
natural juices from escaping. This mode is best for game
hens, chickens, stuffed and un-stuffed turkeys, turkey
breasts, pork tenderloin and pork loins.

Operating Your Oven - The Basics
Your Oven's Three Bake Modes
• Bake
• Surround Bake
• Convection Bake
Bake
Uses only the bake element. This mode is the
stand-by, non-convection mode. All baked
items will turn out nicely in this mode.
Tips for Using Bake Mode
• For best results, use a single rack. See page 36 for
suggested rack positions for various foods. For cook-
ing on multiple racks, Dacor recommends using one of
the convection modes.
• 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.
• 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.
Surround Bake
Surround Bake uses both the bake element and
a broil element. This mode is best for angel-
food cake, fruit cobblers, quick breads, soufés
and cheesecakes baked in a water bath. Egg-leavened
items turn out best in this mode because they still get a
nice rise without over-browning or curdling. Thick bat-
tered breads, such as banana bread, bake well in this
mode because they cook through while providing the cor-
rect amount of browning.
Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses both the bake element
and the convection element and fan. Use this
mode for single rack convection 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 earthen-
ware clay pots are best in this mode. Most of these items
cook in a deep pan and require browning on the top and
bottom.
IMPORTANT
Modes that utilize convection tend to have a cooking time that is
about 25% shorter.
Adjust and test cooking times for your recipes, especially
those that are homemade, when converting from standard
to convection baking. See the Pure Convection section on
page 16 for additional guidelines.
Common Problems When Using the Bake Mode
Problem May be caused by What to do
Cookies burn on the
bottom.
Oven door opened too often. Set timer to shortest recommended cooking
time and check food when timer beeps. Use
door window to check food.
Incorrect rack position used. Change rack position.
Dark, heat absorbing cookie sheets used. Use shiny, reective cookie sheets.
Cookies are too brown
on top.
Rack position being used is too high. Change rack position.
Food placed in oven during preheat. Wait until oven is preheated.
Incorrect baking mode being used. See Starting Your Oven - Main Menu on
page 13 for guidelines.
Cakes burn on the sides
or are not done in the
center.
Oven temperature too high. Reduce oven temperature.
Dark, heat absorbing cake pans used. Use shiny, reective cake pans.
Cakes crack on top. Oven temperature too high. Reduce oven temperature.
Cakes are not level. Oven and/or oven rack not level. Level oven and rack as needed.
Pies burn around the
edges or are not done
in the center.
Oven temperature too high. Reduce oven temperature.
Dark, heat absorbing pans used. Use shiny, reective pans.
Oven and/or rack over-crowded. Reduce number of pans.

Operating Your Oven - The Basics
Understanding the Various Oven
Modes (cont.)
Your Oven's Three Broil Modes
• Broil
• Max Broil
• Convection Broil
WARNING
• Do not attempt to use the broil modes without the oven door
completely closed.
• To avoid damage to the meat probe, remove it from the
oven when using any of the broil modes. If the meat probe is
connected the broil modes will not start (an error signal will
appear on the display).
Broiling is a quick, avorful way to prepare many foods,
including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and sh.
Broil
Broil mode uses one of the broil elements. It is
best for broiling smaller amounts of food.
Max Broil
Max Broil uses both broil elements. It is best for
larger quantities of food to be broiled.
Convection Broil
Convection Broil uses a combination of the con-
vection element and fan and a broil element. It
is best for items that do not need to be ipped
such as, thinner cuts of meat, sh and garlic bread.
Broiling Tips
• To reduce the chance of overcooking, use rack posi-
tions 1 through 4. Results will vary based on the type
of food being broiled and the rack position used.
• It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be
present to give the food a broiled avor.
• 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 are-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 rst 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.
Your Oven's Two Roast Modes
• Roast
• Convection Roast
Roast
Roast mode uses both the bake element and a
broil element. It is best for half and whole
cooked hams, rack of veal, and rack of lamb. When brais-
ing in the oven, cover foods with foil if necessary.
Convection Roast
Convection Roast uses a combination of the con-
vection element and fan, a broil element and the
bake element. It is best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens,
etc.
IMPORTANT
Modes that utilize convection tend to have cooking time
that is about 25% shorter.
As with other convection modes, adjust and test cooking
times for your recipes, especially those that are home-
made. See the Pure Convection section on page 16 for
additional guidelines.
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, more
quickly. 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 ts the size of
the food being prepared. The broiler pan and grill that
come with 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.
• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a
shallow pan that ts the size of the food. Again, the
broiler pan and grill that come with the oven can be
used. Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine or
oil before and during roasting.
19
3. Touch Warm/Hold on the main menu.
4. Touch Start.
Operating Your Oven - The Basics
• 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 1/2 inch further into the
meat, then take a second reading. If the second tem-
perature registers below the rst, continue cooking
the meat.
• Remove meats from the oven when the thermometer
registers 5 to 10°F (3 to 6°C) below the desired tem-
perature. 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.
Warm/Hold
This mode allows you to keep your food warm at
150
°
F (65
°
C) until you are ready to serve, after
the food is done cooking.
WARNING
To avoid potential sickness and the spoiling of food, do not allow
food temperature to drop below 140°F (60°C). Below 140°F
bacteria can develop.

Defrosting
The oven uses the convection element and fan for this
process.
WARNING
To avoid food poisoning, cook meats immediately after defrosting
them.
To defrost foods
1. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.
2. For best results put the food on an alumi-
num surface. Place the food on the center of the oven
rack.
3. Touch Oven Menu.
4. Touch Defrost on the main menu.

desired defrost temperature. Touch the arrows on
either end of the adjustment bar to make minor
adjustments.
6. Touch Start.
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 two 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
at cookie sheet with a one 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 a 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.

Dehydrating
The oven uses the convection element and fan for this
process.
To dehydrate foods
1. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.
2. Prepare the food as recommended, then
place it on a drying rack. Place the food on the center
of the oven rack.
3. Touch Oven Menu.
4. Touch Dehydrate on the main menu.
5. If you want to change the preset temperature, touch

Food Type Dehydrating Temperature
Fruit 125°F (52°C)
Meat 150°F (65°C)
Vegetables 110°F (43°C)
Recommended Dehydrate Temperatures
Dehydrating Tips
Equipment Recommended:
• Half sheet pan or jelly roll pan with ½ inch rim all the
way around
• Baking rack that ts inside the half sheet pan
• Cheesecloth
• 4 quart sauce pot with lid
• Steamer basket that ts inside four 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 avor.
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.
23
Operating Your Oven - Deluxe Features
Solving Discoloration Problems
To prevent darkening during dehydration and storage, you
should steam blanch apples, apricots, peaches, nectar-
ines, pears or foods that will oxidize.
To steam blanch:
1. Add 1 inch of water to a four 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 gs and plums. The basic
ratio for a simple syrup is one cup of sugar to one cup of
water. Add these ingredients to a four 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, gs 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 four 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.
Proofing
You can use your oven to proof yeasted doughs.
The oven uses the bake element for this pro-
cess. This mode allows dough to rise more
quickly in a warm, draft-free environment.
1. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.
2. Touch Oven Menu.
3. Touch Proof on the main menu.
4. Touch Start.
5. 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.
6. Turn on the oven lights.
7. Set the timer for the amount of rise time in the recipe.

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 properly cooked. Your oven’s
meat probe is an easy way to take the guess-
work out of roasting. You can use it to cook food to the
exact temperature you desire. The probe can be set from
125°F (51°C) to 185°F (85°C).
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.
• Do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it turns
completely off. When the temperature drops below
140°F (60°C), bacteria can develop (after Keep Warm mode).
•
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, Max Broil,
Convection Broil and Sabbath modes. Plugging in the meat
probe when using one of these modes will cause an error
signal to appear on the display.
• Use of the meat probe and Cook Time feature at the same
time is not recommended because one can conflict with the
timing of the other.
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. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level to allow the
meat to t in the oven.
3. Touch Oven Menu.

Guided Cooking
Your oven is equipped with the convenience of
the Dacor Guided Cooking System. The Dacor
Guided Cooking System takes a lot of the guess-
work out of cooking. You select the type of food,
and the oven will set the temperature, the mode and
show you the amount of time required to cook.
How to Use Guided Cooking:

The Best Use of Bake Ware
• You should bake cakes, quick breads, mufns and
cookies in shiny, reective 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 (optional), with their low proles,
will give you the best results.
• Bake most frozen foods in their original foil contain-
ers, placed at on a cookie sheet. Follow the package
recommendations.
• When using glass bake ware, reduce the recipe tem-
perature by 25°F (14°C), 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 t side by side in your oven.

Cooking Tips
Food Placement
• Typically, when baking on two racks with your oven,
use rack positions #3 and #5 (counting from the
bottom up). When baking on three racks, use rack
positions #2, #4 and #6.
• 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 a 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 #3 for
best results. If you put a baking stone on a 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.

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 nal pan rising develops a better avor. 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 specic 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 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.
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
Clean, the oven is heated to a very high temperature
which burns 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 3 hours total.
• It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the
rst 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. Also Self Clean will not start when the
oven is already over 400°F (204°C). Wait for the oven
to cool below 400°F before starting the Self Clean
cycle.
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.
• CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD, COOKING UTENSILS,
OVEN RACKS, THE CONVECTION FILTER, ETC., IN THE
OVEN DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
Care and Cleaning
How to Use the Self Clean Feature

Care and Cleaning
8. Touch START · CONTINUE on the
control panel (to the right of the touch
display).
The control panel automatically locks the oven door
during self-cleaning. The latch prevents the door from
being opened since the high interior oven tempera-
tures can easily cause injury. If the door is not shut,
an error message will appear on the display. To cor-
rect the problem, touch CANCEL · SECURE and wait
approximately one minute, then close the door. When
the door is properly closed, start the Self Clean pro-
cess again.
The display shows the Self Clean cycle status:
◊ Cleaning indicates that Self Clean is in process.
◊ Door is Locked indicates that the door is latched.
◊ Cooling indicates that the oven is in the "cooling
down" portion of the Self Clean process.
If you want to stop the Self Clean cycle, touch CANCEL
· SECURE. Keep in mind that the oven door will remain
locked until it is safe enough to open. Door is Locked 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. Cooling and Door is Locked will disappear
from the display. Exercise caution because the oven
will still be hot at the time the door lock is released.
• Reinstall the convection lter 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.
Green Clean
The green clean feature is a quick, simple,
steam clean process used to clean light soil
inside the oven. Green Clean allows you to save
time and energy over the Self Clean process,
which should be used for heavier soil build up.
WARNING
• To avoid steam burns, do not pour water into the oven when
it is hot.
• The water remaining inside the oven will still be hot to the
touch when the door is opened after the process is complete.
1. Remove the oven racks and all utensils from the oven.
2. Making sure the oven is cool, pour 1 1/2 cups of water
(preferably distilled) into the recessed portion of the
oven oor. For slightly heavier build up, you may mix
a teaspoon of hand dishwashing soap into the water
prior to pouring.
3. Fold a dish towel in half and insert the end (double
thickness) between the door and the door gasket
(right to left) to catch water that may dribble out
during the process. Lay the rest of the towel just
inside on the oven oor.

Replacing the Light Bulbs
WARNING
• To prevent electrical shock and/or personal injury, make
certain that the oven and light bulbs are cool and that power
to the oven has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel or
fuse box before replacing the light bulbs.
• Always make sure the lens covers are in place when using
the oven. The lens covers protect the light bulbs from
breakage caused by high oven temperatures or mechanical
shock.
• Replacing the lens cover without lining up the cutout with the
light socket will damage the light fixture.
• Do not use a screwdriver to remove the lens.
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
Guide on page 43.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the replacement halogen light bulbs with
your ngers. 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.
To replace the light bulbs...
1. Replace the light bulb only with Dacor part number
100429. See page 37 for ordering information.
2. Turn off power to the oven at the circuit breaker panel
or fuse box.
3. Hold your hand under the lens for support and gently
pry it loose using a spatula or table knife. Pull the lens
cover straight out.
4. Grasp the old bulb and pull it straight out of the
socket.
5. Using a glove, insert the new bulb into the socket.
6. As you reinstall the lens cover, line up the cutout on
the inside rim with the light socket. Gently press it
into its original position.
7. Turn the power to the oven back on at the circuit
breaker panel or fuse box.
Broil Pan
Your broil pan has a porcelain enamel nish. 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
The roast/broil pan has a porcelain enamel nish. When
you clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If
the 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 nished 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 rst time. Do not use any
soap or detergents to wash it. The stone is porous and
soap will get trapped inside. The trapped soap will affect
the avor 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.
