Important Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

To reduce risk of re, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

WARNING

Only use the oven for cooking tasks expected of a home • appliance as outlined in this manual. If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact • your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance. Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless • specifically recommended in the literature accompanying this appliance. A qualified service technician should perform all other service. Make sure that the appliance has been properly installed • and grounded by a qualified installer according to the accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you know where and how to turn off the power. Always make sure food is cooked thoroughly before • eating. Make sure that only those individuals that use the oven • are able to operate it properly. Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area • around the oven. Do not allow children to play with the oven. Children must be taught that the oven is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with the controls or other parts of the oven. Never allow anyone, including children to sit or stand on • any part of the oven. Stepping or sitting on the oven may result in tipping, door breakage, and serious injury. Do not store items of interest to children above the oven. • Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance. Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the • oven. Position oven racks in desired locations only when the • oven is cool. If you need to reposition a rack after the oven is already hot, use a pot holder. DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN • DURING OR AFTER USE. Do not allow clothing or other flammable materials to contact interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Use only dry pot holders when removing food and • cookware from the oven. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns. Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air • or steam escape before looking or reaching into the oven. Do not store combustible, flammable, or explosive • materials in the oven or in adjacent cabinets. 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. Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.• Use extreme caution if adding water to food in a hot oven. • The steam can cause serious burns or scalds. 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.

WARNING

To prevent the possibility of burns, connect and unplug the • meat probe using hot pads. To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the oven and be • sure that the oven is cool before cleaning. For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the • convection filter(s) installed. When the filter is not installed, the spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed. Do not leave the oven unattended when cooking with oils • or fats. They can be a fire hazard if overheated. Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the • self-clean cycle. They will be hot. The oven automatically locks the oven door during • self-cleaning. Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. Damage to the door and door latch may result. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan grill • and pan, oven racks, convection filter, meat probe, and any other utensils. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. • These items can melt or burn up during self-cleaning and cause permanent damage to the oven. Properly clean and maintain the oven as recommended in • this manual. Clean only those parts listed in this manual.• Use only the cleaning solutions specified in this manual • to clean your oven. Do not use any cleaners that are not specified to clean the inside or outside of the oven. Other cleaning solutions could produce hazardous fumes, cause corrosion of the metal parts, and could permanently damage the finishes. Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket. • Rubbing, moving, or in any way damaging the door gasket may eliminate the required tight door seal. Clean only as specified in this manual. Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to • remain on the oven surfaces inside or outside the oven. The porcelain finish may stain. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven. Steam • could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not leave metal objects, such as aluminum foil, the • meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the floor of the oven. Objects left on the bottom of the oven could trap heat in the bottom, damaging the bake element. In addition, the objects themselves could be damaged. Do not allow the glass panels in the top and bottom of the • oven to become covered up by cookie sheets, aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc. Some of the ovens heating elements are behind the glass panels. Covering them could cause the heating elements behind them to over-heat, damaging the oven. To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from the oven • when it is not being used.

The Wall Oven Control Panel

Getting to Know Your Oven

Before Getting Started, Get Familiar With Your Oven

Parts of the Oven:

Control panel:• Your oven’s control panel consists of keys and a display. You use the control panel to control all the oven’s features (sometimes called modes).

Oven racks:• Your oven comes with three adjustable oven racks. It comes with six if you have a double oven.

Rack supports:• There are six sets of rack supports inside each oven cham- ber. They support the adjustable oven racks.

Meat probe connector:• When you use the meat probe, insert the skewer into the meat and plug the other end into this connector. See the Meat Probe section on page 25 for proper operation.

Oven lights:• There are two oven lights inside the oven chamber so that you can easily see the food inside the oven when the door is open and through the oven window when the door is closed. The lights come on automatically when you open the oven door or you may press the light key on the control panel to keep the lights on. The bulbs are 12 volt, 10 watt, halogen.

Bake elements:• Hidden below the glass panel on the oor of the oven

chamber are the bake elements. They are the source of bottom heat. Broil elements:• Hidden above the glass panel in the roof of the oven cham-

ber are the broil elements. They are the source of top heat.

Convection fan:• The convection fan blows hot air into the oven chamber during the convection cooking process. The convection lter covers it.

Convection element:• The convection element creates the hot air that is blown into the oven chamber by the convection fan during the convection

cooking process. The convection lter covers it. Convection lter• : The convection lter covers the convection fan. It helps

prevent the transfer of taste from one food to another when you are cooking a whole meal. It also keeps the oven cleaner, especially when roasting or broiling. In addition, it covers the moving fan blades for safety purposes.

Self-clean latch:• The self-clean latch automatically locks the oven door during the self-clean cycle. The door latches for your safety. There are very high temperatures inside the oven during the self-clean cycle.

Door gasket:• The door gasket prevents heat from escaping when the door is closed.

Before You Cook

If you have not used the oven for an extended period • of time the display will go to “sleep”. When the display is sleeping, it is not lit. To wake the display (make it reappear), press one of the keys on the control panel or open the oven door.

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 usually takes 7 to 14 minutes to preheat the oven, depending on the temperature settings. Pre-heat times 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 is called carry-over. The larger the portion of food, the longer it will carry-over. 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.

Standard Racks

WARNING

Rearrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.

How to Insert Standard Oven Racks

Insert the end of the rack with the safety notches into • the oven rst.

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

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

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

How to Remove 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 out. Lifting the rack releases the safety notches. The safety notches prevent the rack from coming out of the oven accidentally.

Glide Racks™

Your oven comes with a Dacor GlideRack. You can pull the GlideRack out further than the standard racks and still support heavy pots and pans full of food. It is great for heavier foods and the baking stone.

WARNING

Rearrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.

How to Insert Your GlideRack

Hold the GlideRack with the guides fully extended • away from you (see diagram below).

Align both sets of safety clips (right and left) on the • back of the guides with the oven rack supports as shown in the diagram below.

Begin to slide the rack in, lifting the front safety clips • over the front of the oven rack supports.

How to Insert a Standard Oven Rack

How to Insert a GlideRack™

Push the rack all the way to the back. • Grasp the rack in the center of the front and pull. The •

rack should come forward while the guides remain in place.

How to Remove Your GlideRack

If you want to remove your GlideRack, 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 out. Lifting the GlideRack releases the safety clips. The safety clips prevent the GlideRack from coming out of the oven accidentally.
