INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking and Examining Your Oven

Remove: all packing materials from inside the oven
cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WA VEGUIDE
COVER, which is located on the right cavity wall. 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. Allow at least 2
inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for
air circulation.

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 AMTK27 or the
AMTK30. The AMTK27 is for a 27" wall oven, while
the AMTK30 accommodates installation above 30"
wall ovens.

The applicable wall ovens and warming ovens are
as follows:

OVENS -

ECS127, ECS130, MCS127, MCS130, PCS127,

PCS130

WARMING OVENS -

EWO24, EWO27, EWO30, MWO27,

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 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 this
appliance 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 115­120 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.

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(about 100 pounds). The floor should be level for
proper operation of the oven. Be sure to check the
local building code as it may require that the open­ing be enclosed with sides, ceiling and rear parti­tion. The proper functioning of the oven does not
require the enclosure.

Call toll-free: 1-800-793-0093 for ordering the kit to be
sent to your address.

The kit includes all the necessary parts and easy-to­follow instructions for installation as well as location of
the power supply . The AMTK27 (27") and AMTK30 (30")
kits include simulated frames, which match the
DMO2420 microwave oven.

The ease of assembly for these kits will allow installa­tion into an existing wall opening in less than an hour
(if power outlet is already properly located).

All it takes are four steps and a Phillips screw driver.

Outlet should NOT be in the shaded area as indicated.

1. If the dimension of DEPTH (C) is more than 21", the

outlet location may be any area on the rear wall.

2. The floor of the opening should be constructed of

plywood strong enough
to support the weight of
the oven and floor load

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.
Check it for microwave 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.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven
back must not be blocked.

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

Your oven is rated 1200 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before the minimum time
and add time accordingly.

General

ABOUT FOOD

• 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 special Popcorn pad.

•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 liquids briskly before and after
heating to avoid “eruption”.

• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids
or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

• 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 disposable bottles.

• Heat bottles with nipples on.

• Heat baby food in original jars.

• 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.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

The following coverings are ideal:

• Paper towels are good for covering foods for re­heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.

•Wax paper can be used for cooking and
reheating.

• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro­wave use can be used for cooking and reheat­ing. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Vent so steam can escape.

• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten
cooking.

• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or
foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal
twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can
escape.

How to use aluminum foil in your microwave
oven:

• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed
smoothly on the food can be used to shield
areas that are either defrosting or cooking too
quickly.

• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any
surface of the oven.

Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accesso-

ries 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. Dacor is not
responsible for any damage to the oven when acces­sories are used.

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 26 for Child Lock feature.

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used success­fully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the
utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking
and reheating:

• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as
Corningware

®

.

• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex

®

)

• microwave-safe plastics

• paper plates

• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and
porcelain

• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
preheating time. Follow manufacturer's
directions.)

These items can be used for short time reheat­ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

• wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

• metal pans and bakeware

• dishes with metallic trim

• non-heat-resistant glass

• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)

• recycled paper products

• brown paper bags

• food storage bags

• metal twist-ties

Should 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. A dish which
becomes very hot should not be used.

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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards

outside of dish.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
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 must be turned over
at least once.

• Rearrange foods such as 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.

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to
the United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER
leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,
unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

• 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 waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
cause arcing and/or fires.

• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.

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
CHARTS (page 22 and 23), you need to defrost
manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ­ously cooked, by using POWER LEVEL 3. Follow the
exact 3-step procedure found under To Set POWER
LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER
LEVEL eight times for 30% power.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 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 at 30%
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 MODES

Dacor's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects
the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the 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 MODES.

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. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem-

perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.

4. Any SENSOR MODES selection can be pro-

grammed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See
page 25.

5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the

chart should be cooked following the guidelines in
any microwave cookbook.

6. During the first part of SENSOR MODES, 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 cook manually.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
The door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.

7. 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 cooking other
foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will
turn off.

8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi-

tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP GUIDE

pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the SENSOR MODES 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.

EXAMPLE:
You can cook many foods by simply selecting the food

and touching START/INST ANT ON . You don’t need to
calculate cooking time or power level.

• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.

Exterior

The outside surface is painted. 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 spray and other harsh
cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

Touch Control Panel

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the
control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning.
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 pad.

Interior

Cleaning is easy because little 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 P ADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap;
rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS
DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care.
Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance.
Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface
of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may
overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the
waveguide cover.

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

The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy
cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a
mild cleanser and non abrasive scouring sponge. They are also
dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable
motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped
up immediately.
