Important Safety Instructions

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:

warning

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 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(s).
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(s) 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.

warning

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.

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. 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 in the •
oven. The 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 that could melt, such as aluminum •
foil, the meat probe or cookie sheets on the bottom of
the oven.

Do not allow the broil element on the ceiling of the •
oven chamber to be covered up with cookie sheets,
pots pans etc. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil
or other materials. Doing so may cause a fire hazard or
damage the oven.

Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to •
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room
during cooking.

Getting to Know Your Oven

Parts of the Oven

A Control panel Your oven’s control panel consists of keys and a display. Use the control panel to

control all the oven’s features (sometimes called modes).

B Air intake/Exhaust slots The oven draws air in through the intake slots to cool its internal parts. The air

comes out through the exhaust slot at the bottom of the oven. Do not block or
cover the air intake or exhaust slots.

C 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 Using the Meat Probe section on page 16 for
proper operation. On double ovens, only the upper oven is equipped with a meat
probe connector.

D Oven light There is an oven light inside the oven chamber so that you can easily see the food

inside. Press the light key on the control panel to turn it on. The bulb is 12 volt,
20 Watt, halogen.

E Rack supports There are six sets of rack supports inside the oven chamber. They support the

adjustable oven racks. They are numbered from the bottom up.

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

G 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.

H Broil element The broil element is located on the ceiling of the oven chamber. It is the source of

top heat.

J Convection fan* Located behind the convection lter. The convection fan blows heated air into the

oven chamber during the convection cooking process.

K Convection element* Located behind the convection lter. The convection element heats the air that is

blown into the oven chamber by the convection fan during the convection cooking
process.

L Convection lter* The convection lter covers the convection fan and element. 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 and covers the moving fan blades for safety purposes.

M Oven rack Single oven models come with a set of three oven racks. Double oven models come

with a total of six.

N Bake element Hidden below the oor of the oven chamber is the bake element. It is the source of

bottom heat.

* Double oven models are not equipped for convection cooking in the lower oven. Therefore, there is no convection fan,

element or lter in the lower oven chamber on double ovens.

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 rst

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.

Operating Your Oven

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.

Inserting the Oven Racks
