WARNING
WARNING
• Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check
the manufacturer's recommendations before use
to determine if a utensil is suitable for use on
a cooktop or in an oven. Certain types of glass,
ceramic and earthenware are not suitab e for use
on a cooktop. Personal injury or damage may result
from the improper use of cookware.
• Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the
proper size, material and construction for the
particular type of cooking being done. Utensils need
to be large enough to contain the desired quantity
of food without boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose
pans with easy to hold handles that will stay cool
while cooking. Do not use utensils with loose
handles. Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift
safely.
• Before using glazed cookware, such as glass,
ceramic or earthenware, check the manufacturer's
temperature and usage recommendations.
• Glazed cookware that is not designed for high heat
use may crack or break, causing a spill or burn
hazard.
• Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching
into the oven.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a
hot cooktop or in the oven. The steam can cause
serious burns or scalds.
• Use only dry pot holders when removing food
and cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot
holders can cause steam burns.
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before
lighting a burner.
• Do not heat eggs or unopened food containers such
as baby food jars and cans. Pressure build up may
cause them to burst and cause injury.
• 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 leave children alone or unattended in the
area around the range. Do not allow children to
play with the controls, pull on the handle or touch
other parts of the range.
• Make sure ndividuals who use the range are able
to operate it properly.
• Clean the range thoroughly before operating it for
the first time.
Clean and maintain the range regu arly as
instructed in this manual. Keep the entire range,
ventilation filters and range hoods free of grease
that could catch fire.
• 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.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room during cooking.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be
burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may -esult.
d. Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
CAUTION
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces,
etc.) to remain on the range's surfaces. The
finishes may stain.
• Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp
object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp
objects may scratch the range's surfaces.
• 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.
• Do not leave oven racks, the convection filter, the
meat probe or any other items in the oven during
self cleaning. Damage to the items or the oven
itself will occur.
• Do not leave objects, such as aluminum foil, the
meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the bottom of
the oven. Objects left on the bottom of the oven
may cause damage.
• Do not allow the the broil element on the oven
ceiling to become covered up by cookie sheets,
aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc. Covering them could
cause the heating elements to over-heat, damaging
the oven.
• Do not expose the knobs or trim rings to direct
flame, hot utensils or other sources of heat.
• Always ensure that the light fixture lens cover is in
place when using the oven. The lens cover protects
the light bulb from breakage caused by high oven
temperatures or mechanical shock.

WARNING
WARNING
For overall safety and best cooktop performance, select
the correct cooking utensil for the food being cooked.
Improperly selected cooking utensils will not cook evenly
or efficiently.
Use cookware that:
• Has flat, smooth bottoms.
• Is well balanced.
• Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in.
Each burner control knob has a small diagram _ O
next to it with an indicator light that tells you
which burner it operates. O O
1. To light a burner, push in gently on the knob and turn
it counter-clockwise to the HIGH position. The igniter
will spark (click) repeatedly until the gas ignites. The
burner should light within four seconds.
2. Once the burner is lit, set the flame height to the
desired level by rotating the control knob further
counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the grate.

Burner knob symbols
OFF HIGH LOW

IMPORTANT
For superior cooking performance and to save energy:
• Reduce the flame height to the minimum level neces-
sary to perform the desired cooking process. Food
cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a
vigorous, rolling boil. A higher boil than is necessary
wastes energy, cooks away moisture and causes a
loss in food flavor and nutrients.
• Dacor's SimmerSear burner allows you greater preci-
sion control of the flame.
• Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in
utensils made of materials that are poor conductors of
heat, such as glass, ceramic and cast iron. Reduce the
flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the
utensil diameter to ensure even heating and reduce
scorching.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking
times.
• Use a timer rather than repeatedly removing the lid to
check food, Doing so will decrease cooking time and
save energy,
• Thaw foods prior to cooking to reduce cooking time,

Setting the Time
1. Press the CLOCK key. The colon between the minutes
and seconds on the time display will begin to flash.
2. Enter the current time on the number keypad before
the colon stops flashing. For example: For 12:08,
press 1-2-0-8 on the keypad. Press the # key to
change the AM-PM indicator.
3. Press START.
IMPORTANT
24/12 Hour Clock (Military Time)
The oven is set to 12-hour (non-military) time at the
factory. 24 hour time is also known as military time.
1:36 plY1= 13:36 military time.
If you want to switch the clock to 24 hour time or
switch from military back to regular time:
1. Press and hold the CLOCK key for six seconds. The
display will indicate the mode the clock is currently set
to, :L2 Hr or 24 Hr.
2. Press the # key to change the clock mode. To leave
the setting as is, do not touch any keys.
3. Press CANCEL. SECURE to return to the main display.
If you have set the clock to 24 hour time, the keypad
will allow you to enter military time when setting the
clock.
Setting the Temperature Scale
You can select the temperature scale (Fahrenheit or
Celsius) the oven uses to display the cooking
temperature. The oven is preset at the factory to Fahren-
heit.
To change the temperature scale:
1. Press and hold the BROIL key.
2. The display will indicate the temperature scale the
control panel is currently set to, "F" or "C".
3. Press the # key to change the temperature scale. To
leave the setting as is, do not touch any keys.
4. Press CANCEL.SECURE. The control panel will go
back to the regular clock display, set to the new tem-
perature scale.
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 first
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 natural juices and make it easier to
ca rve.
10

Oven Racks
You may use either rack type on any level.
To insert the standard oven racks:
1. Insert the end of the rack with the safety notches into
the oven first.
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

Understanding the Various Oven
Your range offers three convection cooking
modes:
• Pure Convection
• Convection Bake
• Convection Roast
As a general rule, in the convection modes time is about
25% shorter. Set the timer 15 minutes before the shortest
stated time and add more time if necessary.
For Pure Convection and Convection Bake Modes:
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. After achieving acceptable results,
follow the convection guidelines in the Dacor Cooking
Guide. If the food is not cooked to your satisfaction during
this first 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
adjusting one recipe variable at a time until you get satis-
factory results.
Multiple Rack Baking in Pure Convection Mode
• Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack posi-
tions #1 and #3 or #2 and #4 (counting from the
bottom up) for best results. When cooking a full meal,
use rack positions #1, #3 and #5 for best results.
• 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 _
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, roast-
ing, and preparation of complete meals, Many foods,
such as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, 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,
AIR FLOW
@
Convection Bake _' €,_,/._
Use this mode for single rack 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 earthenware clay pots are
best in this mode. Most of these items cook in a deep pan
and require browning on the top and bottom.
14

Convection Roast
Your range's convection roast mode uses a combination of
the convection fan and heat sources above and below the
food. It is best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens, etc.
Roasting Tips
• All baking modes can be used to successfully 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 in record time. 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 fits the size of
the food being prepared. No basting is required when
the fat side is up. Do not add water to the pan. It will
cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry heat pro-
cess.
• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a
shallow pan that fits the size of the food. Brush poul-
try with melted butter, margarine or oil before and
during roasting.
• 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 temperature registers
below the first, continue cooking the meat.
• Remove meats from the oven when the thermometer
registers 5 to 10°F below the desired temperature.
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 and may
require moist cooking techniques. Follow your favorite
cookbook recipes.
• Reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting
pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.
Your range offers two broil modes:
• Broil
• Convection Broil
Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many
foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and
fish.
WARNING
Broil SSS
This mode uses a top heat source. [t is best for broiling
smaller amounts of food.
Convection Broil
This mode uses a combination of the convection fan and
a top heat source. It is best for items that do not need to
be flipped such as, thinner cuts of meat, fish and garlic
bread.
Broiling Tips
• It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be
present to give the food a broiled flavor.
• 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 flare-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 first 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 the
food is removed.

&S
If you want to set the oven to automatically turn itself on
or off at a later time, you can use the delay timed fea-
tures.
Things to Know About Delay Timed Cooking
• The delay timed options work for all of the various
cook modes, except broil and convection broil.
• You may use the timers while using the delay timed
features. The timers do not have an effect on any of
the delay timed cooking options.
• The delay timed cycle can be canceled at any time by
pushing CANCEL, SECURE.
The three delay timed cooking keys are:
• START TIME: The time the oven starts cooking.
• DURATION: The amount of time the oven cooks
before it goes into hold mode (see facing page for
description).
• STOP TIME: The clock time the oven turns off and
goes into hold mode.
When you set 2 of the 3 above, the oven automatically
calculates the third.
Ways to Use Delayed Timed Cooking
• Set the time the oven turns on (START TIME) and
set it to turn off at a later time using either the
DURATION key or the STOP TIME key.
• Set the START TIME only, then turn the oven off
manually when you are done cooking.
• Turn the oven on manually and set it to turn off at
a later time using either the DURATION key or the
STOP TIME key.

IMPORTANT
About Hold Mode
• When you set the oven to stop cooking using the
DURATION or STOP TIME keys, it will go into hold
mode ("NLd" appears on the display) when it reaches
the end of the cook time you have set. The oven will
keep the temperature at 150°F for two hours.
• Press CANCEL, SECURE to turn the oven all the way
off.
• To prevent sickness, do not allow foods to remain in
the oven after it is off (after hold mode turns off.)
17

When you cook foods like roasts and poultry, the internal
temperature is the best way to tell when the food is prop-
erly cooked. Your oven's meat probe is an easy way to
take the guesswork out of roasting. You can use it to cook
food to the exact temperature you desire. The probe can
be set from IO0°F to 200°E
Skewer
Plug
WARNING
4. Allow the oven to preheat. Excessive browning may
occur if the meat is placed in the oven during preheat
mode (when "PRE-" appears on the display).
5. Once the oven has preheated ("PRE-" disappears),
put the meat in the oven using pot holders. Insert the
meat probe plug into the connector inside the oven.
6. Push the PROBE key. The preset probe tem-
perature (160°F), as well as the probe symbol,
will appear on the display. If you want to cook
using a different probe temperature, enter it
on the keypad. Use the USDA Minimum Safe Cook-
ing Temperature Chart on the facing page as a
guideline for the type of meat you are cooking.
7. Press START. If you do not press START, the probe
mode will not start.
When the meat probe is in use, the oven will automati-
cally control the cooking time. The temperature on the
display during cooking is the temperature measured inside
the meat. The oven will continue to cook until the meat
temperature reaches the temperature you have entered.
When the meat is done, the oven will go into hold mode.
The temperature will reduce to 150°F for two hours to
keep the meat warm and safe for serving. To prevent sick-
ness, do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it has
turned off. Press CANCEL. SECURE to cancel hold mode
and turn the oven completely off.

NOTE
Meat Probe Instructions
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,
Before placing the meat in the oven and with the door
closed, push the BAKE, CONV BAKE, PURE CONV
or CONV ROAST key. The preset temperature will
appear on the display. If you want to cook using a
different oven temperature, enter it on the number
keypad.
3. Press START.
To change the meat probe temperature during
cooking:
1. Press PROBE. The current probe temperature setting
will appear on the display.
2. Enter the new temperature. The oven will automati-
cally change to the new probe temperature. If you

Important Details About Meat Probe Use
• You must select the specific cooking mode (BAKE,
CONV BAKE, PURE CONV or CONV ROAST) before
you press the PROBE key.
• When you press the PROBE key the preheat cycle is
disabled and the amount of time required to heat the
oven is extended. For best results, select the cooking
mode and allow the oven to preheat prior to pressing
the PROBE key and putting the meat in the oven.
• The meat probe function will automatically cancel
after 30 seconds if the meat probe is not connected.
The meat probe symbol will flash on the display.
• The meat probe feature takes precedence over the
delay timed cooking feature. The oven will continue
to cook the meat until it reaches the selected meat
probe temperature regardless of the STOP TTME or
DURATION setting, then go into hold mode.

Dehydrating Tips
Equipment Recommended
• Half sheet pan or jelly roll pan with 1/2" rim all the way
around
• Baking rack that fits inside the half sheet pan
• Cheesecloth
• 4 quart sauce pot with lid
• Steamer basket that fits inside 4 quart saucepan. One
that is perforated and opens up will work well.
• Slotted spoon
• Paper towels
• A sharp knife
When you dehydrate:
i. 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 flavor.
4. It is best to dehydrate on a baking rack with a pan
underneath to catch any juices. If using a rack when
dehydrating small fruit, put cheesecloth over the rack
to allow for maximum air circulation and to prevent
the fruit from sticking to the rack.
5. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack.

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 one 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 one to two minutes.
3. Remove with a slotted spoon and dab with a paper
towel to remove excess moisture before dehydrating.
4. Apples, pears, pineapples, and some other fruits will
brown or darken during dehydration. To prevent dis-
coloration, dip fruits in pineapple juice or lemon juice
after steam blanching.
Creating a Candied Effect
To give 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 figs 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, figs 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 two quarts of water to boil in a four quart sauce
pot.
2. Drop the fruit in the water for one to two 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.
• Thick, frozen casseroles such as lasagna will not
defrost well in your oven. Instead, defrost accord-
ing to the food manufacturer's suggestions. You may
also defrost casseroles in the 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.
You can use your range to proof yeasted doughs at a low
and draft-free temperature using the bake mode.
1. Press the BAKE key.
2. Enter the temperature of 100°F on the number
keypad.
3. Press START.
4. 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.
5. Turn on the oven light.
6. Set the timer for the amount of rise time in the recipe.
Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath mode on your oven complies with Jewish
laws for use on the Sabbath and Holy Days. This feature
allows the oven to perform two types of cooking, bake
and Pure Convection.
When the oven is set to Sabbath mode, it disables the fol-
lowing features:
• The oven light
• All keys, except CANCEL. SECURE, START and the
0 and 2 keys on the number keypad.
NOTE
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
flat cookie sheet with a one inch rim to catch juices as
the meat thaws.
2O

Setting Up the Sabbath Feature
1. Press the # key.
2. Press the BAKE or PURE CONV key.
3. Press the 0 or 2 keys repeatedly if you want to
change the pre-selected cooking temperature shown
on the display.
4. Press (only) the START key. The oven will go into
Sabbath mode and cook using the mode selected in
step 2.
Things to Know About Sabbath Mode
• The CANCEL. SECURE key on your oven remains
active so that you can turn off the Sabbath feature or
turn off the oven.
When the oven is cooking, pressing the 2 key on the
number keypad, then START, tells the oven to raise
the temperature by 25°F (15°C). Pressing the 0 key
on the number keypad, then START, tells the oven
to lower the temperature by 25°F (15°C). In compli-
ance with Jewish law, the heating element will be
adjusted randomly when these keys are pressed and
no changes will be seen on the display.
Please visit www.star-k.org for further information
about Sabbath compliance and usage of this product.
Your oven is equipped with a feature that allows you to
calibrate the temperature inside the oven to match the
display value without the help of a service technician. Due
to various conditions, the actual temperature inside may
vary somewhat from the displayed temperature. The set-
ting may also vary from mode to mode.
To
change the offset temperature:
Place an oven thermometer inside the oven.
1.
2.
Check the temperature variance by running the oven
for one hour in each mode at 350°F (except broil
modes). In broil the normal operating temperature is
555°F. Take note of the temperature variance in each
mode.
3. With the oven off, press and hold the 0 and # keys
on the number keypad at the same time. After about
three seconds "PAS" will appear on the display.
4. Immediately enter 6428 on the number keypad, then

PURE CONV, CONV ROAST, BAKE or BROIL).
6. Enter an offset temperature value from 1 to 35°F (1
to 18 for ovens set to Celsius). Press the # key after
entering the numeric value if you want the offset to
be a negative (-) value. Press # again to toggle the
(-) setting off. "Edit" appears on the display when you
start to enter the offset value.
7. Press START to save the setting.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 above for any other cooking
modes you need to offset.
9. Press CANCEL. SECURE to exit offset mode.

Food Placement
NOTE: The rack positions mentioned below are counting
from the bottom up,
• For best results when baking on two racks, use rack
positions #2 and #4 or #1 and #3 with the oven set
to Pure Convection or convection bake mode, For best
results when baking on three racks, use rack positions
#1, #3 and #5 with the oven set to Pure Convection
mode,
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,
Dacor recommends the optional GlideRack oven
rack, You can pull it out further than a standard rack,
making it easier to check the food, stir or add ingredi-
ents,
Heavier roasting pans and dishes will cook better on
rack position #1,
When using a baking stone, use rack position #1 for
best results, If you put a baking stone on the optional
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,
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 particu-
larly well and two of them will fit side by side in a
30-inch oven, The kit also comes with a grill that fits
inside the pan to cook flat cuts of meat,

Oven Rack Positions
The Best Use of Bake Ware
• You should bake cakes, quick breads, muffins and
cookies in shiny, reflective 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, with their low profiles, will give
you the best results,
• Bake most frozen foods in their original foil contain-
ers, placed flat on a cookie sheet, Follow the pack-
age recommendations, When using glass bake ware,
reduce the recipe temperature by 25°F, except when
baking pies or yeast breads, Follow the standard
recipe baking time for pies and yeast breads,
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 final pan rising develops a better flavor, 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 specific recommendations,

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 cleaning, the oven
is heated to very high temperatures which burn 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 three
hours.
Tt is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the
first few self clean cycles. Tt 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.
• The self clean process takes about three hours.
• Self clean mode will not function if the meat probe is
connected.
WARNING
How to Use the Self Cleaning Feature
1. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the
convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.),
the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from
the oven chamber. See page 27 for instructions on
how to remove and clean the filter.
2. Clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door
outside of the door gasket. Rinse surfaces well with
a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heav-
ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching
scouring pad.
3. Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of
water and mild soap.
WARNING
4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors
during the self clean cycle.
5. Make sure the oven door is shut.
6. Press the SELF CLEAN key, then press START.
The control panel automatically locks the oven door
during self cleaning. The latch prevents the door from
being opened since the high interior oven temperatures
can easily cause injury. Tf the door is not shut, an error
message will appear on the display. To correct the prob-
lem, press CANCEL. SECURE and wait approximately one
minute, then close the door. When the door is properly
closed, start the self clean process again.
The display shows the self clean cycle status:
• The clean symbol indicates that self clean is in _le_
process.
• The lock symbol indicates that the door is
latched.
• "ON" indicates that the heating elements are on.
Tf you want to stop the self clean cycle, press the CANCEL
•SECURE key. The oven door will remain locked until it is
safe enough to open. The lock symbol 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. The clean icon, lock icon and "ON" will disap-
pear from the display. Exercise caution because the
oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the
door lock is released.
Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before
using your oven.
You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom
of the oven after self cleaning. This is normal. Use a
damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the
oven cools down. Continued...

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.
Setting the Oven to Self Clean at a Later Time
:1. Prepare the oven for self cleaning as instructed on
page 2::[. Observe all safety precautions and remove
all items listed from inside the oven. Clean the door
gasket and around the door as instructed.
2. Close the oven door,
3. Press the SELF CLEAN key.
4. Press the START TIME key.
5. Enter the desired start time. For example, press 1-2-
3-0 for 12:30. You may enter a time up to 22 hours
and 59 minutes ahead of the present time.
6. Press START.
General Cleanin Information
The cooktop is exposed to extremely high temperatures.
The grates are put under a lot of stress when hot uten-
sils are placed on them. In addition, the cooktop parts
are occasionally exposed to acidy food spill-overs. These
severe operating conditions, cause the porcelain enamel
parts on your cooktop to undergo a change in appearance
over time. If you care for and clean these parts carefully,
you will slow down, but not eliminate, the aging process.
7. When you press START, "Delay" will appear on the
display and the oven door will lock. The oven will start
to self clean at the time you have selected.
While the oven is set to clean at a later time:
• If you want the display to return to the clock, you
may push the CLOCK key.
• If the clock is displayed, you may push the START
TIME key to check the self clean start time.
• When self clean starts, "Delay" will disappear and
"ON" will appear on the display.
To cancel the time delayed self clean cycle:
• Press CANCEL. SECURE.
• If the self clean process has not started, allow about
a minute for the door to unlock before attempting to
use the oven.
If the oven is in the middle of the self clean process,
the door will unlock when the oven has cooled down
enough to open safely. The oven will still be hot
(about 400 °F).
• After cleaning, attach the SimmerSear burner knob
[] as shown below. The SimmerSear knob has a
wider space between the large flame icon and the
simmer icon than the standard burner knobs. Align
the "D-shaped" opening on the back with the end of
the valve shaft, Carefully push it on until it stops.
• Attach the remaining knobs which operate the stan-
dard burners r_. if you have the optional Dacor
grill or griddle, the two knobs with the words "MAX
GRIDDLE" go on the right burner valve stems.
WARNING
• Wash the knobs regularly with a solution of warm
soapy water, Dacor recommends hand dishwashing
liquid.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position to remove them
for cleaning or replacement, Grasp each knob and pull
straight back, off of the valve shaft,
• Clean the outside edges of the trim rings while the
knobs are removed. Wipe them with a soft damp rag.

Cleaning the Burner Components and
Igniters
To keep the cooktop looking and operating its best, clean
it after every use. Also, quickly wipe up spills that occur
while cooking. Be careful not to touch any hot areas.
Spills that remain on hot burner parts will be very difficult
to clean, especially if allowed to burn on. Certain types of
food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vinegar, alcohol and
milk can damage the finishes if you allow them to stand
for any length of time.
In addition, the igniters may not spark or work properly if
the burner parts or the igniters themselves are not clean
and dry.
Cooktop Disassembly
WARNING
• When the cooktop is cool, remove the grates from the
top of the cooktop.
• Disassemble the burners. Lift the burner caps and
burner rings off of the burners.
WARNING
After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt or
grime deposited on the individual parts, including the
igniters.
1. Use a firm tooth brush to gently clean completely
around the igniter, including all of the metal top and
porcelain base. Do not use water to clean the igniters.
If necessary, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol to
help dissolve grime.
2. Examine the burner rings and the top of the
SimmerSear burner head. Remove anything stuck in
the holes and grooves with a straightened paper clip,
wire or needle. Be careful not to scratch or damage
the ring and head. Do not distort the shape of the
holes or grooves.
3. Clean all of the burner parts, including the burner
bases, with window cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Use
a cleaning brush with plastic bristles or a firm tooth
brush. When done, rinse the parts well with clean
water. Dry all the parts thoroughly before re-assem-
bling them.
4. Reassemble the burners according to the burner and
grate assembly instructions on page 7. Turn on power
and test the burners after reassembling them. If the
flame is uneven, be sure that all the burner parts
are properly positioned, then check for any remain-
ing dirt or grime on the burner parts or igniter. If
erratic sparking (clicking) is still present, make sure
the igniter is completely dry. If the unit still exhibits
problems after drying, call your local Dacor Authorized
Service Agent.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Grates, Spill Trays and Optional WOK Ring
The grates, the spill tray and optional WOK ring are
coated with a porcelain finish.
• For everyday cleaning, use a soft
cloth or nonabrasive pad with
warm soapy water to clean all of
the porcelain parts.
If necessary, tough stains may be removed by apply-
ing full-strength sprays such as Simple Green TM,
Ajax TM All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula 409 TM. To mini-
mize wear, use the mildest cleaner needed to get the
surface clean.
For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly
abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub TM,
Bon Ami TM, S.O.S. _*_pads or other soap-filled steel
wool pads. Use these cleaners with extreme care
and only on occasion. Extensive use of these types
of abrasives will eventually damage the porcelain
enamel.
CAUTION
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution of
detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-
free cloth. You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner
on the stainless steel surfaces. Use it according to the
directions on the package.
Cleaning Brass, Chrome and Copper Surfaces
CAUTION
Using a soft cloth, clean metal surfaces with a mild solu-
tion of detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a
soft, lint-free cloth.
the Oven Interior
I_ WARNING
J[/P9 the Exterior Surfaces
Oven Control Panel
[_ CAUTION
To avoid acciden-
tally turning the
oven on while
cleaning the con-
trol panel, activate
the lock-out feature. Press the CANCEL. SECURE
key for six seconds. The lock-out feature disables
the keys. When the control panel is locked, the word
"OFF" appears on the display.
When you want to re-activate the control panel, press
CANCEL. SECURE for six seconds.
Clean the control panel with the soft side of a sponge
dampened with a mild solution of detergent and warm
water. Dry the control panel completely with a soft,
lint-free cloth.
Cleaning Glass Surfaces (Interior and Exterior)
• Use a mild glass cleaner to remove finger prints on
glass surfaces. You may also clean glass surfaces with
Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme. Use it according to
the directions on the package.
• You may scrub the oven light lens with the rough side
of a sponge and warm, soapy water. Be careful not to
scratch the lens.
Your oven's self clean feature eliminates the need for
manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. The steps below
are for cleaning surfaces and items that are not cleaned
by the self clean process. To use the self clean feature see
page 23.
Door Gasket (Seal)
Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of
water and mild soap. Do not scrub it or it will become
damaged.
Oven Racks
To clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent
and hot water. When you need to clean heavy soil, use a
scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. You
may also use a solution of one cup of ammonia to two
gallons of water.
If you accidentally leave the racks in the oven during self
cleaning, you can polish them to make them easier to
slide. Polish the rack edges with a soapy steel wool pad.
Then apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the edges
so that the racks slide more easily. Be aware that polish-
ing will not completely remove the discoloration.
26

Convection Filter
Meat Probe
WARNING
The convection filter is located in the back of each oven
chamber. Clean the filter regularly. If you allow it to
become clogged, the oven's convection cooking modes
will not work properly. You also need to remove the filter
during the self clean cycle.
Removing your oven's convection filter:
When the oven is cool, put your fingers around the edges
of the filter and gently push up.
Filter
To clean the filter:
Soak it in hot, soapy water. Rinse well. You may also place
it in a dishwasher on the top rack. Dry the filter before
re-installing it.
Installing your oven's convection filter:
Carefully hook the metal clips on the back of the filter
over the metal bar across the fan hole. Make sure it is
centered over the hole. Be careful not to scratch the por-
celain surfaces with the back of the filter.
WARNING
The meat probe is constructed of silicone handles, a wire,
a plug and a stainless steel skewer. To clean the skewer,
use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water. When you clean
the handles, wipe them with a soft sponge soaked with a
solution of detergent and warm water.
Optional Broil Pan
The broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you
clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If the
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 por-
celain enamel finish. When you
clean it, use a solution of deter-
gent 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 the grill are finished
with an Excalibur TM nonstick coating. When you clean
them, use a mild solution of detergent and warm water.
Use the soft side of a sponge to scrub them and dry them
with a lint-free cloth.
Clips on back of
filter

Metal bar
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.
27

Optional Baking Stone
Wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub
it clean before you use it for the first time. Do not use
any soap or detergents to wash the stone. The stone is
porous and soap will get trapped inside. The trapped soap
will affect the flavor of the food cooked on it. Do not 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.
Cleaning the Optional Dacor Griddle
and Grill
Clean the griddle/grill after each use. Wash it thoroughly
in hot soapy water to avoid stains from grease build-up.
The griddle/grill is coated with a non-stick coating for easy
cleaning. Warm water and liquid detergent are all that are
needed for cleaning. Remove stubborn spots with a non-
abrasive plastic mesh pad. To prevent scratching, do not
use abrasives or abrasive cleaners. Use the soft side of a
sponge to scrub it. Dry it with a lint-free cloth.
