INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking and Examining Your Oven

Remove all packing materials from inside the oven
cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the ceil-

ing. Read enclosures
and SAVE the Opera­tion Manual. Check the
oven for any damage,
such as misaligned or
bent door, damaged
door seals and sealing
surfaces, broken or
loose door hinges and

latches and dents in­side the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage,
do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or
DACOR AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven on the counter

You will use the oven frequently so plan its location
for ease of use. It’s wise, if possible, to have counter
space on at least one side of the oven. The oven
must be placed on a counter top which is a minimum
of 36 inches from the floor. Allow at least 2 inches on
the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air
circulation. Be sure to position oven so that the rear
cannot be touched inadvertently.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven if built-in

Your oven can be built into a
cabinet or wall by itself or above
any DACOR wall oven listed
below using DACOR’s Built-in
Kits, either the ACTK27 or the
ACTK30. The ACTK27 is for a
27" wall oven, while the ACTK30
accommodates installation
above 30" wall ovens.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result

in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp.
or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only the microwave oven be provided.

The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician
install a correct wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local
codes allow. Follow package directions.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Extension Cord

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The
marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15
amp. or more.

Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Notes:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

2. Neither Dacor nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage
to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe
the correct electrical connection procedures.

Radio or TV Interference

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven
to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different
electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven
as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

About Your Oven

This Use & Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.

The Dacor Convection Microwave Cookbook is a
valuable asset. Check it frequently for cooking

principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and

support nor turn the turntable over so that a large
dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will
turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is
normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the
touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.

About Food

DO

Eggs, sausages,

nuts, seeds, fruits
& vegetables

Popcorn

Baby food

General

* Puncture egg yolks before cooking to

prevent “explosion”.

* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,

squash, hot dogs and sausages so that
steam escapes.

* Use specially bagged popcorn for the

microwave oven.

* Listen while popping corn for the

popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use
POPCORN pad for "no-guess" popping.

* Use an overturned 9 or 10 inch oven

proof glass pie plate on top of the
turntable when popping bagged
microwave popcorn.

* Transfer baby food to small dish and

heat carefully, stirring often. Check
temperature before serving.

* Put nipples on bottles after heating and

shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before
feeding.

* Cut baked goods with filling after

heating to release steam and avoid
burns.

* Stir liquid briskly before and after

heating to avoid “eruption”.

* Use deep bowl when cooking liquid or

cereal to prevent boilovers.

Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven
back must not be blocked.

After using convection, automatic mix or broil,
you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan
may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes,
depending on the oven temperature.

Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens,
convection microwave ovens have a tendency to
become hot during convection, automatic mix and
broil cooking.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your oven is rated 900 watts using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food at the minimum time and add time
accordingly.

DON’T

* Cook eggs in shells.
* Reheat whole eggs.
* Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

* Pop popcorn in regular brown

bags or glass bowls.

* Exceed maximum time on

popcorn package.

* Heat baby food in original jars.
* Heat disposable bottles.
* Heat bottles with nipples on.

* Heat or cook in closed glass jars

or air tight containers.

* Can in the microwave as

harmful bacteria may not be

destroyed.
* Deep fat fry.
* Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet

papers.

DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and
microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before
you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining
correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using microwave­only cooking. Dacor is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

About Microwave Cooking

* Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas

toward outside of dish.

* Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest

amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Foods severely overcooked can smoke
or ignite.

* Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or

cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax
paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers
prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

* Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any

thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent
overcooking before dense, thick areas are
cooked thoroughly.

* Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or

twice during cooking, if possible.

* Turn foods over once during microwaving to

speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts or turkey
breasts must be turned over at least once.

* Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through

cooking both from top to bottom and from the
center of the dish to the outside.

* Add standing time. Remove food from oven and

stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which
allows the food to finish cooking without
overcooking.

* Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating

that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

– Center bottom of dish is very hot to the

touch.

– Poultry thigh joints move easily.
– Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
– Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

About Children and the Microwave

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave
oven with a supervising person very near to them.
Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising
person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing
on the oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special
attention to packages that crisp food because they
may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered
one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not
a toy. See page 24 for Safety Lock feature.

About Safety

* Check foods to see that they are cooked to the

United States Department of Agriculture’s
recommended temperatures:

– 160°F. for fresh pork, boneless white

poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and
frozen prepared food.

– 165° F. for leftover, ready-to-heat

refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh”
food.

– 170°F. white meat of poultry.
– 180°F. dark meat of poultry.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in
a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER
leave the thermometer in food during cooking, unless
using a microwave thermometer when cooking with
only microwave power.

* Always use potholders to prevent burns when

handling utensils that are in contact with hot
food.

Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.

* Avoid steam burns by directing steam away

from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest
edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open
popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the
face.

* Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check

cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.

* NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or

other items.

* Select, store and handle food carefully to

preserve its high quality and minimize the spread
of foodborne bacteria.

* Keep wave guide cover clean. Food residue

can cause arcing and/or fires.

* Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1

inch away from walls, ceiling and door.

* Use potholders and be careful when using

convection, mix or broil cooking as cabinet,
interior and door may be too hot to touch.

* Use care when removing items from the oven

so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories
do not touch the safety door latches.

This section of the Use & Care Manual gives you
specific cooking instructions and procedures. Please
consult your Convection Microwave Cookbook for
helpful hints for convection and combination cook­ing.
Page numbers followed by the letter c indicate the
convection/mix section of the book.

The oven should not be used without the turntable in
place, and it should never be restricted so that it can­not rotate. You may remove the turntable when pre­heating the oven and when preparing food to be
cooked directly on the turntable.
Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable,

turntable support, racks and dishes will be­come hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick
oven gloves when removing the food or turn­table from the oven.

Convection Cooking

During convection heating, hot air is circulated
throughout the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods
quickly and evenly. This oven can be programmed
for ten different convection cooking temperatures for
up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds.

Helpful Hints for Convection and Automatic
Mix Cooking

Your Dacor Convection Microwave Oven can
cook any food perfectly because of the number of
ways it can cook: microwave only, automatic mix,
convection only or broil. The cookbook that comes
with your oven has excellent instructions,
guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help you
get the best use of your oven. Consult it often until
you are familiar with it. This Use & Care Manual
tells you how to program the oven.

The oven cannot be used without the turntable in
place. Never restrict the movement of the
turntable.

Convection Cooking:

1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in
or removed. When using the high rack for 2
shelf baking in a preheated oven, it is easier to
remove the turntable for preheat.
Place high rack on turntable along with foods.
When preheat is over, open oven door and
quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to
be baked inside.

2. Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack
with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow
that cooks food.

3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking
utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.

4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled
appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.

Automatic Mix Cooking:

1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the
low rack. A dish can be placed below the meat
if gravy is to be made from the drippings.

2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3. When baking, check for doneness after time
has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand
in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.

NOTE:
During mix baking some metal baking utensils
may cause arcing when they come in contact with
the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks.
Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs
when microwaves come in contact with metal.

If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex
pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between
the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing occurs
with other metal baking utensils, discontinue their
use for mix cooking.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
AUTO DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the “Amount” column on the AUTO DEFROST
CHART, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3­step procedure found under Time Cooking on page 11.
Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you
select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule
of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate
the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted
at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the
oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 3 until
totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to
place in a microwave-safe dish.

SENSOR COOKING

Dacor's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that
detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted
from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking
times and power level for various foods and quantities.

Using Sensor Settings:

1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using sensor settings.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. Sensor Reheat and Popcorn can only be entered
within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing
the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food
name will appear on the display. Do not open the
oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part
of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor
will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message
will appear. To continue cooking, touch the
STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking time and
variable power.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
Door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.

5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook with
variable power and time.

6. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the
correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when using sensor
reheat,ERROR will be displayed, and the oven
will turn off.

7. Any Sensor Cooking mode can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 23.

8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP GUIDE
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.

Selecting Foods:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, food for dinner plate
reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and
popcorn at room temperature.

2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be
reheated by time and variable power.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to
allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not
touch food.

3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess
wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than
paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to
cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow
steam to escape away from you.

CLEANING AND CARE

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. If possible, leave the door open to inactivate the oven during
cleaning.

Exterior

The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry
with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Door

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills
or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with
a damp cloth. Avoid the use of harsh abrasives.

Touch Control Panel

Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with
a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close
door and touch STOP/CLEAR.

Interior - after microwave cooking.
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces;
therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean
the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT
USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For
heavier soil, use mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.

Interior - after convection, mix or broil cooking.
Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately
after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove
spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long
time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an
oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it--not a soap filled steel pad-

-for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces.
Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious
not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or
ceiling or any door surfaces.
Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.
After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed
from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven on
450°F. for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.

Waveguide Cover

Carefully wash any food particles from the waveguide cover located on
the ceiling in the oven cavity.

Odor Removal

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove,
combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon, and several
whole cloves in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes
using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a
soft cloth.

Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks

The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed for easy
cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a
mild cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also
dishwasher-proof. Use top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will cause the
porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not cook highly acidic foods
directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should
not be allowed to stand in this area.

25

SERVICE CALL CHECK

1. Place one cup of water in a glass measuring cup in the oven and close the door securely.
Operate the oven for two minutes at HIGH 100%.

A. Does the oven light come on? YES _______ NO _______
B. Does the cooling fan work? YES _______ NO _______

(Put your hand over the rear ventilating openings.)

C. Does the turntable rotate? YES _______ NO _______

D. Is the water in the oven hot? YES _______ NO _______

2. Remove water from the oven and operate the oven for 5 minutes at CONV 450°F.

A. Do CONV and COOK indicators light? YES _______ NO _______
B. After the oven shuts off, is inside of the oven hot? YES _______ NO _______

If “NO” is the answer to any of the above questions, please check electrical outlet, fuse and/or circuit
breaker.
If both are functioning properly, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST AUTHORIZED DACOR SERVICER. A
microwave oven should never be serviced by a “do-it-yourself” repair person.
