Important Safety Instructions

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 range 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
range.

• Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range unless
specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A
qualified service technician should perform all other service.

• If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains as
window treatment. The curtains could blow over the cooktop
and create a fire hazard.

• Before performing any type of service, make sure that power
to the range is turned off at the circuit breaker panel or fuse
box.

• Some versions of this appliance are equipped with a
four-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.

• WARNING - NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the range
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil
linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

• Only use the range for cooking tasks expected of a home
appliance as outlined in this manual. This range is not
intended for commercial use.

• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE RANGE
DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spill-overs
that may ignite.

• Make sure individuals who use the range are able to operate
it properly.

• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or climb
on any part of the appliance, including the doors. Doing so
may cause tipping, damage, serious injury or death.

• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area
around the appliance. Do not allow children to play with
the controls, pull on the handle or touch other parts of the
appliance.

• Do not store items of interest to children above the range.
Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the
appliance.

• Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power
failure.

• Clean the appliance thoroughly before operating it for the
first time.

Tip-over hazard:

WARNING

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Verify that the anti-tip bracket has been properly attached
to the floor or wall as directed in the installation instructions.
Using a flashlight, verify that the range’s anti-tip foot is
engaged with the anti-tip bracket as shown below.

• After moving the range, be sure to re-engage the rear leg
with the floor or wall mounted anti-tip bracket as shown
below.

• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip foot engaged
with the anti-tip bracket.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
serious burns to children and adults.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Do not cover the burners and grates with anything except
properly selected utensils. Decorative covers may cause a
fire hazard or damage to the range if a burner is accidentally
turned on with the cover in place.

• 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.

• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic
and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do
not place such items in the oven. Do not allow pot holders to
touch hot surfaces or gas burners.

• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range.
Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the interior of
the oven or the cooktop and surrounding areas during and
immediately after use.

• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.

• Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the
range.

• To reduce the possibility of fire, do not use the oven for
storage.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING WARNING

• To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the range
unattended when using the cooktop.

• Clean and maintain the range regularly as instructed in this
manual. Keep the entire range, ventilation filters and range
hoods free of grease that could catch fire.

• Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.

• 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 or on a cooktop.
Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are not
suitable for use with a range. 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.

• When deep fat frying:

- Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain
the desired volume of food without overflow caused by the
bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended.

- Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with
high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the
hot fat.

- Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination of
oils and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep fat frying
thermometer to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above
the flash point.

• Do not touch the outside surfaces of the range during the
Self Clean cycle. They will be hot.

• Exercise caution when opening the oven doors. Let hot air or
steam escape before looking or reaching inside.

• Use extreme caution if adding water to food. 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.

• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a
burner.

• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing them
from the valve stems.

• The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs
and trim rings in place.

• For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the

• Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one hour

• Do not leave objects, such as aluminum foil, the meat probe

• Avoid spills as much as possible. The porcelain surfaces of the grates, spill trays and burner caps are acid-resistant but

not acid-proof. Some foods can cause permanent damage if allowed to remain on porcelain surfaces.

• To keep the burners operating properly, keep the burner igniters, burner rings and burner caps clean and dry. See page

49 for cleaning instructions.

Selecting the Cookware

CAUTION

Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage to
the coated surfaces

For overall safety and best performance, select the cor­rect cooking utensil for the food being cooked. Improperly

selected cooking utensils will not cook evenly or efciently.

Use cookware that:

• Has at, smooth bottoms and is well balanced

• Has tight tting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in

.

• To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles to
a position where they cannot be easily hit. Also, handles
should not extend over adjacent burners. Always set utensils
gently onto the grates and center them so that they are
well-balanced.

• Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may
damage the finish. Lift utensils to reposition them. Do not
drop them on the grate.

• To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level if
it extends beyond the bottom of the utensil. A flame that
extends up the sides of the utensil is potentially dangerous.

Operating the Cooktop

To Light a Burner:

Each burner control knob has a small diagram
next to it to tell you which burner it operates.

1. Push in on the knob and turn it counter-

clockwise to the HIGH position. The igniter for the
burner will spark repeatedly until it lights. The spark
makes a “clicking” sound. The burner should light

within four seconds.

OFF LOWHIGH

The ame should burn evenly around the perimeter

of the burner, except underneath each grate support

nger, where the ame height is reduced by Dacor’s

Smart Flame feature.

A normal ame is steady and blue in color. Foreign

material in the gas line, especially in new construc-

tion, may cause an orange ame during initial opera­tion. This will disappear with further use. Small yellow
tips on the ends of the ames are normal when using

LP gas.

If a burner does not ignite, the igniter continues to

spark or if the ame is not spread evenly around the

burner cap, see the Before You Call for Service sec­tion on page 30.

2. Place the cooking utensil on the grate.

3. Adjust the ame to the level necessary to perform the

desired cooking process.

IMPORTANT: When a burner knob is set to LOW, the igniter
may continue to spark if the burner is cold. The burner will
stop sparking when warm. To reduce cold burner sparking,

set the knob to HIGH for about 60 seconds, then lower the

ame to cook. The igniter will also spark automatically if
the ame is distorted by a draft or by the household venti

lation system.

Cooktop Tips

• Food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at
a vigorous, rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than
necessary wastes energy and cooks moisture, food

avor and nutrients out of the food.

• Use a low or medium ame when cooking with uten­sils that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass,

ceramic or cast iron. Reduce the ame until it covers

approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter. Doing so
will ensure even heating and reduce the likelihood of
burning or scorching the food.

15

Operating the Cooktop

Using the Griddle

For best results, allow the griddle to preheat for about 10
minutes before you start to cook.

1. Before using the griddle for the rst time, wash it in

hot, soapy water. Rinse it and allow it to dry thor­oughly.

2. With all of the burners off and the range cool to the
touch, put the griddle over the top of the center grate

on the range.* The grease trap goes toward the back

of the range. Fit the tabs that stick out of the bottom
of the feet into the inside corners of the grate. When
it is correctly installed, the griddle will rest securely

about 1/2” above the top surface of the grate. It may

rock slightly, which is normal.

3. Turn the center front burner knob to the light (HIGH)

4. Repeat step 3 for the center rear burner.

During cooking be careful with metal utensils on the sur­face because they can scratch the non-stick coating.

Clean the griddle after each use. See page 51 for
instructions.

* The center grate has burners of the same size in the

front and back for even heating.

Basic Oven Operation

Important Things to Know Before
Operation

• Dacor recommends turning the oven on for one hour

at 500°F (260°C) 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.

• PRE-HEAT: When you use the oven in one of the
convection, bake or roast modes, it preheats automat­ically. The preheat cycle rapidly brings the oven cham­ber up to the proper cooking temperature. Wait for
the oven to nish preheating (Insert Food appears
on the display) before placing the food in the oven.
Excessive browning will occur if you put the food in
the oven while it is preheating.

• While the oven is preheating the actual oven tempera­ture will appear on the display, next to the tempera­ture setting. It takes several minutes to preheat the
oven. Preheat time depends on the temperature set-

tings. 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 meat rest for 10 to 15 minutes after it comes
out of the oven before carving. Doing so will allow the
meat to retain its juices and make it easier to carve.

• After you turn off the oven, the cooling fans may con­tinue to run until the internal parts have cooled down.

• Broil modes do not work with the meat probe con­nected.

• This unit has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful inter­ference in a residential installation. This unit gener­ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this unit does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the unit off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

◊ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

◊ Increase the distance between the unit and

receiver.

◊ Connect the unit into an outlet or a circuit differ-

ent from that to which the receiver is connected.

Preset Temperature Settings

The oven has a suggested preset temperature setting for

each of the cooking modes to reduce the need to always
enter the temperature each time you cook. See the table
below. You have the choice (in most cooking modes) of
cooking at the preset cooking temperature or selecting a
different one. See Starting The Oven.

Understanding the Various Oven
Modes

The Oven's Two Pure Convection
Mode

• Pure Convection

• Pure Convection Sear

About Pure Convection

Pure Convection uses the convection element

and fan. 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, roasting, and preparation of com-

plete meals. Many foods, such as pizzas, cakes, cookies,
biscuits, mufns, 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

IMPORTANT

As a general rule, modes that utilize convection have cooking
times that are about 25% shorter. You may want to set the timer
15 minutes before the shortest stated time and add more time if
necessary.

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.

If the food is not cooked to your satisfaction during this

rst 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 satisfactory
results.

Pure Convection Sear

Pure Convection sear uses the convection ele­ment and fan. In Pure Convection Sear mode,

the oven cooks the meat 75°F (42°C) higher
than the set temperature for the rst 15 minutes. The

resulting browning process sears the surface of the meat

to keep the natural juices from escaping. This mode is

best for game hens, chickens, stuffed and un-stuffed tur­keys, turkey breasts, pork tenderloin and pork loins.

22

Basic Oven Operation

The Oven's Three Bake Modes

• Bake

• Surround Bake

• Convection Bake

Bake

Uses only the bake element. This mode is the

stand-by, non-convection mode. All baked
items will turn out nicely in this mode.

Tips for Using Bake Mode

• For best results, use a single rack. See page 44 for
suggested rack positions for various foods. For cook­ing on multiple racks, Dacor recommends using one of
the convection modes.

• Follow your recipe’s original cooking time and tem­perature.

• Do not open the oven door frequently during baking.
Look through the oven door window to check the
progress of baking whenever possible.

• Use the timers to determine baking time.

• Wait until the shortest recommended baking time
before checking the food. For most baked goods, a
wooden toothpick placed in the center should come
clean when the food is done.

Surround Bake

Surround Bake uses both the bake element and

a broil element. This mode is best for angel­food cake, fruit cobblers, quick breads, soufés

and cheesecakes baked in a water bath. Egg-leavened
items turn out best in this mode because they still get a
nice rise without over-browning or curdling. Thick bat­tered breads, such as banana bread, bake well in this
mode because they cook through while providing the cor­rect amount of browning.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake uses both the bake element
and the convection element and fan. Use this

mode for single rack convection 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.

IMPORTANT

Modes that utilize convection tend to have a cooking time that is
about 25% shorter.

Adjust and test cooking times for your recipes, especially
those that are homemade, when converting from standard
to convection baking. See the Pure Convection section on
page 22 for additional guidelines.

Common Problems When Using the Bake Mode

Problem May be caused by What to do

23

Basic Oven Operation

Understanding the Various Oven
Modes (cont.)

The Oven's Three Broil Modes

• Broil

• Max Broil

• Convection Broil

• Broil food on the rst 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
removing the food.

The Oven's Two Roast Modes

WARNING

• Do not attempt to use the broil modes without the oven door
completely closed.

• To avoid damage to the meat probe, remove it from the
oven when using any of the broil modes. If the meat probe is
connected the broil modes will not start (an error signal will
appear on the display).

Broiling is a quick, avorful way to prepare many foods,
including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and sh.

Broil

Broil mode uses the broil element. The tempera­ture level is adjustable. It is best for broiling
smaller amounts of food.

• Roast

• Convection Roast

Roast

Roast mode uses both the bake element and a
broil element. It is best for half and whole
cooked hams, rack of veal, and rack of lamb. When brais­ing in the oven, cover foods with foil if necessary.

Convection Roast

Convection Roast uses a combination of the con­vection element and fan, a broil element and the
bake element. It is best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens,
etc.

Max Broil

Max Broil uses the broil element at the highest
temperature setting (temperature is not adjust­able). It is best for larger quantities of food.

Convection Broil

Convection Broil uses a combination of the
convection element and fan and a broil element.

It is best for items that do not need to be ipped such as,
thinner cuts of meat, sh and garlic bread.

Modes that utilize convection tend to have cooking time

that is about 25% shorter.

As with other convection modes, adjust and test cooking
times for your recipes, especially those that are home­made. See the Pure Convection section on page 22 for
additional guidelines.

Roasting Tips

• All baking modes can be used to roast in the oven.

Broiling Tips

• To reduce the chance of overcooking, use rack posi-

tions 1 through 4. Results will vary based on the type
of food being broiled and the rack position used.

• It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be

present to give the food a broiled avor.

• 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 are-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.

• Always roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan, using

• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a

IMPORTANT

However, the Convection Roast mode is recommended
to produce meats that are deliciously seared on the
outside and succulently juicy on the inside, more
quickly. Foods that are exceptional, when prepared in
the Convection Roast mode, include: beef, pork, ham,
lamb, turkey, chicken and cornish hens.

a roasting rack. Always use a pan that ts the size of
the food being prepared. The broiler pan and grill that

come with the oven, can be used in most cases. No
basting is required when the fat side is up. Do not add
water to the pan. It will cause a steamed effect.

shallow pan that ts the size of the food. Again, the

broiler pan and grill that come with the oven can be
used. Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine or
oil before and during roasting.

24

Basic Oven Operation

• 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 tem-

perature registers below the rst, continue cooking

the meat.

• Remove meats from the oven when the thermometer

• Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting

• Roasting times always vary according to the size,

• Reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting

Dehydrating

The oven uses the convection element and fan

for this process.

To dehydrate foods

1. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.

2. Prepare the food as recommended, then place it on a
drying rack. Place the food on the center of the oven
rack.

3. Touch Oven Menu.

6. Touch Start.

The temperature adjustment bar will appear. Touch

Dehydrating Tips

Equipment Recommended:

• Half sheet pan or jelly roll pan with ½ inch rim all the
way around

• Baking rack that ts inside the half sheet pan

• Cheesecloth

• 4 quart sauce pot with lid

• Steamer basket that ts inside four quart saucepan.
One that is perforated and opens up will work well.

• Slotted spoon

• Paper towels

• A sharp knife

When you dehydrate...

1. 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 avor.

4. It is best to dehydrate on a baking rack with a pan
underneath to catch any juices. If the fruit is small,
use cheesecloth over the rack. If you use a rack, it
will allow for maximum air circulation around the fruit.

The cheesecloth will prevent the fruit from sticking to

the rack.

5. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack.

28

Deluxe Oven Features

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 1 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 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Remove with a slotted spoon and dab with a paper
towel to remove excess moisture before dehydrating.

Apples, pears, pineapples and some other fruits will brown

or darken during dehydration. To prevent discoloration,

dip fruits in pineapple juice or lemon juice after steam
blanching.

Proofing

You can use the oven to proof yeasted doughs.

The oven uses the bake element for this pro­cess. This mode allows dough to rise more

quickly in a warm, draft-free environment.

1. Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.

2. Touch Oven Menu.

Creating a Candied Effect

To give the 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 gs 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.

3. Touch Proof on the main menu.

Preventing Tough Skins when Dehydrating

You should water blanch items with tough skins such as

grapes, prunes, dark plums, cherries, gs 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 2 quarts of water to boil in a four quart sauce
pot.

2. Drop the fruit in the water for 1 to 2 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 dehydrat­ing process.

4. Touch Start.

5. 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.

6. Turn on the oven lights.

7. Set the timer for the amount of rise time in the recipe.

Using the Meat Probe

When you cook foods like roasts and poultry,
the internal temperature is the best way to tell

when the food is properly cooked. The 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
125°F (51°C) to 185°F (85°C).

WARNING

• To avoid the possibility of burns, use hot pads to handle,
connect, and unplug the meat probe when the oven is hot.

• Use the handles to insert and remove the meat probe’s
skewer and to connect it to the oven. Pushing or pulling
on either end of the cable could damage the meat probe.
To avoid breaking the meat probe, make sure the food is
completely defrosted before inserting the skewer.

• Do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it turns
completely off. When the temperature drops below
140°F (60°C), bacteria can develop (after Keep Warm mode).

To prevent damage, never leave the meat probe inside the

•
oven when it is not being used, especially during the Self
Clean cycle.

• Using a meat probe other than the one provided with the
range may result in damage to the probe and/or the range.

NOTE

• The meat probe does not work with Broil, Max Broil,
Convection Broil and Sabbath modes. Plugging in the meat
probe when using one of these modes will cause an error
signal to appear on the display.

• Use of the meat probe and Cook Time feature at the same
time is not recommended because one can conflict with the
timing of the other.

To use the meat probe...

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.

Cooking Tips

Food Placement

• Typically, when baking on two racks with the oven,

use rack positions #3 and #5 (counting from the
bottom up). When baking on three racks, use rack
positions #2, #4 and #6.

• 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,
use a Dacor GlideRack oven rack. You can pull it out
further than a conventional rack, making it easier to
check the food, stir or add ingredients.

• Heavier roasting pans and dishes will cook better on
rack position #1.

• When using a baking stone, use rack position #3 for
best results. If you put a baking stone on a 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.

The Best Use of Bake Ware

• You should bake cakes, quick breads, mufns and
cookies in shiny, reective 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 (optional), with their low proles,

will give you the best results.

• Bake most frozen foods in their original foil contain-

ers, placed at on a cookie sheet. Follow the package

recommendations.

• When using glass bake ware, reduce the recipe tem-

perature by 25°F (14°C), except when baking pies or

yeast breads. Follow the standard recipe baking time
for pies and yeast breads.

• 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 particularly well and two

of them will t side by side in the oven.

Cooking Tips

High Altitude Cooking

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 nal pan rising develops a better avor. Try
making the adjustments below for successful recipes. Take

note of the changes that work best and mark your reci­pes accordingly. You may also consult a cookbook on high

altitude cooking for specic recommendations.

WARNING

• Self Clean mode will not function if the meat probe

• Clean only the parts of the range listed in this manual. Clean
them only in the manner specified.

• To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your range’s
surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning
solutions specified in this manual.

• To avoid burns, turn off the burners and the oven. Make sure
that all parts are cool before cleaning.

• To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads,
on any part of the range unless instructed to do so. Use only
a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush or nylon cleaning
pad for cleaning the surfaces of your range.

penetrate the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such
as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your
range’s surfaces.

• Ensure that the anti-tip bracket is engaged after the range is
moved out for cleaning. Use a flashlight to look underneath
the range and verify that the anti-tip bracket covers the
anti-tip foot when the range is moved back into place.

How to Use the Self Clean Feature

is connected. Also Self Clean will not start when the

oven is already over 400°F (204°C). Wait for the oven
to cool below 400°F before starting the Self Clean

cycle.

WARNING

• Always wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a
damp cloth prior to using the Self Clean cycle. Doing so will
minimize smoke and increase efficiency. See proper cleaning
instructions on this page.

• Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the Self
Clean cycle. They will be hot.

• CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD, COOKING UTENSILS,
OVEN RACKS, THE CONVECTION FILTER, ETC., IN THE
OVEN DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.

IMPORTANT

• The oven lights do not operate while the oven is in Self Clean
mode to protect them from damage.

• Attempting to use Self Clean with the meat probe connected
will cause an error signal to appear on the display.

Oven Self Clean Feature

About the Self Clean Cycle

• The oven will run better and produce better

baked goods when it is clean. During Self
Clean, the oven is heated to a very high temperature
which burns 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 3 hours total.

• It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the

rst few Self Clean cycles. It is also normal for the

oven to emit popping sounds during self-cleaning.

1. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the

convection lter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.),

the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from
the oven chamber. See page 51 for lter cleaning
instructions.

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. Heav­ily 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

• Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket.
Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal
required for proper cooking and self-cleaning.

• Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. Damage to
the door or latch may result.

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. Touch Oven Menu.

7. Touch Self Clean on the main menu.

8. Touch START · CONTINUE on the

control panel (to the right of the touch
display).

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. If the door is not shut,
an error message will appear on the display. To cor­rect the problem, touch 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:

◊ Cleaning indicates that Self Clean is in process.

◊ Door is Locked indicates that the door is latched.

◊ Cooling indicates that the oven is in the "cooling

down" portion of the Self Clean process.

After the Self Clean cycle is complete...

• The door latch will release when the inside has cooled

down. Cooling and Door is Locked will disappear
from the display. Exercise caution because the oven
will still be hot at the time the door lock is released.

• Reinstall the convection lter and oven racks before

using the oven.

• You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of

the oven after self-cleaning. This condition is normal.

Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue
after the oven cools down.

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.

GreenClean Cleaning Feature

The GreenClean cleaning feature is a quick,

simple, steam clean process used to clean light
soil inside the oven. allows you to save time
and energy over the Self Clean process, which
should be used for heavier soil build up.

WARNING

• To avoid steam burns, do not pour water into the oven when
it is hot.

• The water remaining inside the oven will still be hot to the
touch when the door is opened after the process is complete.

1. Remove all utensils from the oven.

2. Making sure the oven is cool, pour 1 1/2 cups of water
(preferably distilled) into the recessed portion of the

oven oor. For slightly heavier build up, you may mix

a teaspoon of hand dishwashing soap into the water
prior to pouring.

Cleaning the Cooktop

CAUTION

• After cleaning the burners, reassemble all of the burner parts
before attempting to operate the cooktop.

• Always dry the cooktop parts completely before use.

• Do not clean the cooktop grates, burner parts or WOK ring in
a dishwasher. They will be damaged.

• Use care while cleaning the igniters. The porcelain is fragile
and can crack or break.

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 difcult to clean, especially if allowed to

burn on. Certain types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices,

vinegar, alcohol and milk can damage the nishes if you allow

them to stand for any length of time.

IMPORTANT: The cooktop is exposed to extremely high tem­peratures. The grates are put under a lot of stress when hot

utensils 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 the
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.

Cooktop Disassembly

• When the cooktop is cool, remove the grates from the top of
the range.

• Lift the burner caps and burner rings off of the burners.
Remove the burner heads from the SimmerSear burners.

Cleaning the Grates, Spill Tray and WOK Ring.

• The grates, spill tray and WOK ring are coated with a
porcelain nish. For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or

non-abrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the
porcelain parts.

• If necessary, tough stains may be removed by applying full
strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose

Cleaner or Formula 409. To minimize 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, Bon Ami,

S.O.S. pads or other soap-lled steel wool pads. Use these

cleaners with extreme care and only on occasion.

Aggressive or extensive use of these types of abrasives

will damage the nish. Finish damage due to the use of
abrasives is not covered under your warranty.

Cleaning the Burner Components and Igniters

IMPORTANT: The igniter will not work properly if the burner

cap, burner ring, burner base or the igniter itself are not clean.
Dirty or wet igniters may not spark at all.

1. After disassembling the burners, check for any dirt or grime
deposited on the individual parts, including the igniters.

2. Use a rm 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.

3. Examine the burner rings. Remove anything stuck in the
holes with a straightened paper clip, wire or needle. Be
careful not to scratch or damage the ring and cap. Do not
distort the shape of the burner ring holes.

4. Clean all the burner parts, including the burner bases, with
window cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Use a cleaning brush

with plastic bristles or a rm tooth brush. When done, rinse

the parts well with clean water. Dry all the parts thoroughly
before re-assembling them.

5. Reassemble the cooktop according to the burner and grate
assembly instructions starting on page 8. Test the burn­ers after reassembling them. When the burners are installed
