Oven Racks and Support

Three chrome-plated convection racks are provided in the oven.
Always remember to position the racks prior to heating the oven.
Also, remove the oven racks prior to self-cleaning to prevent
permanent discoloration of the racks.

The porcelain rack supports provide six heights for positioning of
the oven racks.

To Jnstalt a rack, align the left and right edges of the rack with the
horizontal guide rails of the rack supports, then slide the rack into

the oven.

Dacor's GtideRack oven rack is designed to install effortlessly
and glide at a full extension. The full extension of the rack allows
you to slide pizza on and off with great ease when using Dacor's
optional pizza stone (model number ABS20). It is also great for

large roasts in large roasting pans. It wilt also allow you to baste
more easily and check temperatures of the food more safely and
quickly.

NOTE: When fully extending the rack while in the first position,
the rack may rest on the inner door.

Installation:

1. Fully extend the two side guides. Align the two small clips
on the bottom at the rear of the rack with the black porcelain

rack guides in the oven.

2. Begin to slide the rack in, then lift up. The GlideRack oven
rack must be in between the two clips on the upper and lower
side of the rack rear.

3. Push the rack all the way to the back.

4. Grasp the rack in the front center and pull. The rack should
come forward while the side guides remain in place.

Oven Rack Positions

Helpful Hints When Using Your GlideRack Oven Rack

• The GtJdeRack oven rack works particularly welt with heavier

items, but you can use it during any type of baking, broiling or

roasting in your Dacor oven.

• The GlideRack racks need to be spaced out when using more
than one in the oven at a time. For instance, they should be
used in rack positions 1, 3 and 5 or 2 and 4, counting up

from the bottom, instead of positions 2, 3 and 4.

• When using the GtideRack rack with Dacor's ABS20 baking
stone, use rack position 1 for best results.

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

• Do not leave any of the racks in the oven during self-clean.
They may be damaged and/or will become difficult to slide

in and out if self-cleaned. In addition, remove the convection

filter in the back of the oven before self-cleaning

• To clean the racks, use hot, soapy water and the rough side
of a sponge.

Oven Modes

All oven modes are described below:

STANDARD BAKE - In standard bake mode, the bottom
heating element provides conventional radiant heat.

Temperatures may be set from 135°F to 555°F in 5°F

increments. Use standard bake for single rack baking and
roasting.

STANDARD BROIL - The high wattage, top heating
element supplies the heat in Broil mode. The broil
temperature is adjustable from 135°F, to the "HI" setting

(equivalent to 555°F) for greater cooking flexibility. Broiling
is always performed with the door closed.

CONVECTION BROIL - The high wattage, top heating

element supplies the heat in broil mode in combination with
the convection fan for better heat distribution. The broil

temperature is adjustable from 135°F to the "HI" setting

(equivalent to 555°F) for greater cooking flexibility. This
mode is available only on models ECD230, PCD230, and
MCD230. Convection broil is always performed with the

door closed.

PURE CONVECTION - In Pure Convection mode a third

heating element, encircling the convection fan located in
the rear of the oven chamber, acts as the heat source.
The convection fan draws air from the oven chamber, then
forces it across the hot convection heating element. The

heated air is directed back into the oven chamber through
the convection baffle. The baffle distributes the heated air

evenly to ensure uniform results. Temperatures may be
set from 135°F to 555°F in 5°F increments. Use this mode

for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting and

preparation of complete meals.

CONVECTION BAKE - In this combination convection-

radiant mode, the lower element provides the heat. As

in Pure Convection mode, the convection fan and baffle

combine to circulate heated air evenly throughout the oven

chamber. Temperatures may be set from 135°F to 555°F

in 5°F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking,

multiple rack baking and roasting.
TEMPERATURE PROBE -The temperature probe can be

used in combination with standard bake, Pure Convection,
or convection bake modes. The temperature probe takes
the guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the exact

internal temperature you desire. The temperature range
that the probe will read is from 100°F to 200°F.

SELF-CLEAN - In the pyrolytic self-clean mode, the oven

reaches temperatures of 850°F, thereby burning off oven
soil automatically. The self-clean time is adjustable up to
four hours so that varying degrees of oven soil can be
successfully removed. Also, the self-clean cycle can be

delayed to start at a later time if desired.

TM

Oven Mode Selection

Follow these steps to manually operate the oven in standard
bake, Pure Convection or convection bake mode:

1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).

2. Press the BAKE, PURE CONVECTION or CONVECTION
BAKE key. The oven will beep once, the selected cooking

mode wilt flash, and "- - -" will be displayed.

3. Press either the "+" or "-" key. The default temperature of
350°F wilt be displayed.

4. To adjust the cooking temperature from 350°F, press and
hold the TIME • TEMP key. (Press "+" key to increase the

temperature setting, "-" to decrease). "PRE" and "ON" wilt

appear in the clock display, and the oven will begin to heat.

The convection fan will turn on to help stabilize the oven
temperature during pre-heat. In standard bake mode, the

convection fan wilt turn off once the desired temperature
is attained. If in a convection mode, the convection fan will

turn on. Also, the clock display will change from the desired

cooking temperature to the actual oven temperature, starting

with 135°F. The temperature display wilt increase in 5°F

increments until the desired temperature is reached. The
cooling fan will turn on when the oven temperature reaches

200°F. When the desired temperature is attained, the pre-heat

cycle is complete. The clock will beep once and "PRE" and
"ON" wilt disappear from the display. (From this time forward,

the "ON" display will cycle on and off with the heating
elements.)

5. Carefully place the food onto the desired rack(s) within the
pre-heated oven.

6. It is recommended that you set a minute timer to time the
cooking process (see page 11).

7. When the time expires and/or the food is done cooking, press
the CANCEL • SECURE key to turn off the oven.

Pre-Heating the Oven

The oven features an automatic pre-heat cycle that rapidly

brings the oven chamber up to temperature. Simply by choosing
a cooking mode and setting a temperature, the oven wilt
automatically perform the pre-heat function. The pre-heat cycle

operates in standard bake, Pure Convection and convection bake

modes. There is no pre-heat cycle for the broil or convection broil
modes.

NOTE:

• For faster heat up, the broil element comes on during

pre-heat. For best results, allow the oven to pre-heat prior to
placing food inside.

iiiii OVEN

What Is Pure Convection?

Your new oven has the best cooking system available today,
Pure Convection. Pure Convection is a total system approach to
cooking. The heat source is a third element outside the cooking
celt behind a baffle. Not only does the baffle separate the food

from the heat source, it channels the air from the convection fan
evenly into the celt eliminating any hot or cool spots in the oven.
This system is what allows multi-rack cooking while achieving

even results from one rack to another.
The other component in Pure Convection is the filter. The filter

eliminates the transference of flavors when cooking entire meals
and also keeps the oven cleaner.

Baking and Roasting Tips

All modes can be used to successfully prepare meals using
standard recipes or your own personal favorites.

Because of variations in food density, surface texture and
consistency, there are a few foods that may be prepared more
successfully in the standard bake mode. For this reason, standard
bake mode is recommended when preparing baked goods such

as custard. The user may find other foods that are also prepared
more consistently in standard bake mode. This is perfectly normal.

• As a general rule, to convert conventional Standard Bake
recipes to convection recipes, reduce temperature by 25°F

and the cooking time by approximately 10%.

• Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may
require adjustment and testing when converting from

standard to convection modes. If unsure how to convert
a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe in standard bake

mode. After achieving acceptable results this way, follow the
convection guidelines listed. If the food is not prepared to
your satisfaction during this first convection trial, adjust only
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 satisfactory results are achieved. See Common Baking
Problems on the facing page for additional information.

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

whenever possible.

• Use the minute timers to time baking functions (see page 11).

• Wait until the shortest recommended baking time before
checking food. For baked goods, a wooden pick placed in the

center should come clean when the food is done.

• Place pans carefully on the oven racks. Turn pans on the
racks so that the long sides run left to right, parallel to the
door.

• Adjustments to recipe times and temperatures need to be

made when baking at high altitudes. Consult a cookbook on

high-altitude cooking.

Bakeware Tips:

• Cakes, quick breads, muffins and cookies should be baked in
shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts.

• Medium gauge aluminum sheets with tow sides should be
used when preparing cookies, biscuits and cream puffs.

• Bake most frozen foods in their original foil containers placed
on a flat cookie sheet. Follow the package recommendations.

• When using glass bakeware, 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.

Multiple Rack Baking

The uniform air circulation provided by Pure Convection cooking
enables the full oven capacity to be utilized. Many foods, such
as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls and frozen
convenience foods can be successfully prepared on either two

or three racks at the same time. Additionally, complete meals
can be prepared by using multiple racks. See below for specific
recommendations. Follow the steps in the Oven Modes section
to manually operate the oven, or refer to the Delay Timed
Cooking section below for automatic operation.

Multiple Rack Baking Tips:

• Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack positions 2 and
4 or 3 and 5. When baking on three racks, use rack positions

1, 3 and 5.

• When adapting a single rack recipe to multiple rack baking,

it may be necessary to add to the baking time. This is due to

the extra amount of food in the oven.

Broiling

Broiling Jsa quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods,
including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and fish. Broiling
in the oven is performed with the oven door completely shut. It is

normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the
food a broiled flavor. The broil temperature may be adjusted in

5°F increments from 135°F up to the maximum setting of "HI". The
"HI" setting is equivalent to 555°F.

Clock Displaying Broil (double oven)

To operate the oven in standard broil or convection broil

modes:

1. Close the door tightly.

2.

Press the BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL key.

3.

Press the TIME • TEMP + or TIME • TEMP - key and the

default temperature setting "HI" will be displayed. "HI" is
equivalent to 555°F.

4.

If a temperature other than "HI" is desired, press the TIME

• TEMP - key to reduce the temperature. Six seconds after
setting the temperature, the "ON" indicator wilt light up in the

clock display, the broiler element wilt begin heating.

5.

Dacor recommends that you set the minute timer(s) to time

the broiling process (see page 11).

6.

When the minute timer expires and/or the food is cooked,

press the CANCEL • SECURE key to turn off the oven.
The cooling fan wilt continue to run for 30 to 45 minutes
depending upon the length and temperature of the broiling

process.

BROILING TIPS:

1. Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage for
excess fat and grease. Doing so will reduce spatter, smoke

and flare-ups.

2. Pre-heat the broiler for 10 minutes prior to cooking.

3. Begin with a room temperature broiler pan for even cooking.

4. Use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove meats. Never
pierce meat with a fork. The natural juices wilt escape.

5. Broil food on the first side for slightly more than half of the
recommended time, then season and turn. Season the

second side just before removing.

6. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler grill. Excess
grease wilt result in heavy smoke. For easier cleaning,

remove the broiler pan and grill when the food is removed.

While the pan and grill are still warm, soak the pan and grill

in a solution of hot water and dishwashing liquid, then scrub

them with an abrasive pad.

Delay Timed Cooking

This function allows the user to finish and/or start a cooking

cycle automatically. It is especially useful for preparing meals in
advance or cooking while you are at work or play. Timed cooking
can only be used with standard bake, Pure Convection and
convection bake modes. Timed cooking does not function in the

broil modes.

IMPORTANT:

• COOK TIME refers to the length of the cooking cycle. It does

not refer to the start time.

The time required to pre-heat the oven must be included in
the COOK TIME. Allow for about 8 to 12 minutes pre-heat

time depending upon the temperature setting. The top
element does not come on to pre-heat in the delay mode, so
you wilt not pre-maturely brown foods.

Delay Timed Cooking (Continued)

To begin cooking immediately and turn off at the desired
time:

1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).

2. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack(s).

3. Select the desired cooking mode and temperature.

4. Press the COOK TIME key and "TIME" will appear in the
clock display. Press the TIME • TEMP + key to set the length

of time that the food witt be cooked. The cook time can be set

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food
temperature is the best test for properly cooked food. The meat
probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the
exact temperature you desire.

Important things to know about the meat probe:

• Double oven models have a meat probe connector in the

upper oven only.

• If the internal temperature of the meat you are cooking is

less than 55°F, you need to wait to insert the meat probe for
proper operation.

• Make sure the food is completely defrosted before inserting

the meat probe to avoid breaking the probe.

• For fully defrosted meat: allow it to come to room temperature

by leaving it out for at least 15 minutes, but no more than
2 hours. Fully defrosted meat allowed to come to room
temperature before cooking can improve cooking results for
searing, roasting and meat cooked rare.

• For partially frozen meat: first fully defrost and follow the

steps above.

• To avoid the possibility of burns, unplug the meat probe using

hot pads.

• To prevent damage, use the handles of the meat probe and

plug to insert and remove them from the food and connector.

Do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing the

probe.

• Never leave the meat probe inside the oven when the oven is

not in use and especially during self-clean mode.

• To prevent damage to the oven, do not use probes other than

the one provided with your wall oven.

Probe Placement:

Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or

side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat
comes to the probe. The point should rest in the center of the
thickest meaty part of the roast.

"\ Handles"

Meat Probe

Insert the probe into the meat to the point marked by your

finger. The probe should not touch the bone, fat, gristle or the
bottom of the pan.

• For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the side of
the roast in the center. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert

the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or
joint.

• For dishes such as meat toaf or casseroles, insert the
probe into the center of the dish. When cooking fish,

insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest

area, parallel to the backbone.

• Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh
from below, and parallel to the teg of a whole turkey.

Setting the Oven When Using the Temperature Probe:

1. Pre-heat the oven to the desired temperature.

2. Insert the meat probe into the food. (See Probe Placement).

3. After the oven celt has reached the desired temperature,
place the food into the oven.

4. Wearing an oven mitt, lift the meat probe connector cover
in the oven and plug in the meat probe. The connector is

located on the left inside oven walt near the front of the oven.
Make sure the plug is pushed all the way in.

5. Close the oven door.

6. Press the PROBE key. The display will flash "PRB" and beep
if the probe is not connected properly.

7. Adjust the temperature to the desired setting using the
TIME • TEMPERATURE keys. A "jump-in" temperature of

160° will appear when the TIME • TEMPERATURE key is

first pressed. To change to a different temperature, press
the TIME • TEMPERATURE key repeatedly until you reach
the desired temperature. The temperature can be set from

100-200°F. See the chart below for the Minimum Safe Internal

Temperatures for Various Foods.

8. After the temperature is set, the control panel temperature

readout wilt default to 95°F, even if the food has not reached

that temperature. The temperature readout wilt increase in

I°F increments until the food reaches the set temperature.

9. The oven will go into hold mode for 2 hours after the internal
temperature of the food has reached the desired temperature

and wilt hold the oven temperature at 150°F. The residual
heat of the oven will cause the internal temperature of the

food to continue to climb. Use hot pads to remove the meat

probe from the food.

NOTES:

After meat is pulled out of the oven, it wilt continue to cook.

Carry-over cooking affects all foods. The larger the item, the
longer the carry-over. It is best to let the meat rest after it
comes out of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Doing so allows

meat to retain its juices and continue to set, making it easier

to carve.

If the probe is left attached to the connector when not in use,

the control panel wilt beep and flash "PRB" until the probe

is unplugged. Unplugging the probe from the oven turns the

oven off.

• Brass, chrome, and copper finishes are protected with a clear
coat enamel and should not be cleaned with metal polishes.

Broiler Panand Grill

The oven broiler pan and grill are finished in porcelain
enamel. Clean both components in a solution of detergent

and hot water. For heavy soil conditions, use a scouring
pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. Rinse well after
cleaning.

Oven Racks

The oven racks are chrome-plated. For everyday cleaning,
apply a solution of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy
soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of
water, or use a solution of 1 cup ammonia to 2 gallons of
water. Remove the racks during self-cleaning If the racks

are left in the oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently
discolor.

Convection Filter

Convection Filter Installation

Self Cleaning

The oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle
to eliminate the need for difficult and time-consuming manual
scrubbing of interior surfaces. During this cycle, the oven reaches
temperatures of 850°F to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash

residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the

self-clean cycle.
The self-clean time is variable from 2 to 4 hours to offer flexibility

in handling various soil conditions. A 2-hour cycle normally
handles a moderately soiled oven, whereas a 4-hour cycle is

recommended for heavy soil. The self-clean cycle can also be

delayed to start at a later time if desired.

IMPORTANT:

• It is normal for some smoke to be emitted during the first few
self-clean cycles.

• Popping sounds are normal during self-clean. These sounds

are caused by the expansion and contraction of metal

surfaces during heat-up and cool-down.

• Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials.
These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,

causing permanent damage to the oven.

To Prepare the Oven for Self-Cleaning:

1. Clean soil from the oven front frame area and the oven door
outside of the door gasket. Do not clean the door gasket.

Cleaning the door gasket by hand can cause it to bend or
move. A tight door seal is essential for proper baking and

self-cleaning Rinse surfaces welt with a solution of vinegar

and water, then wipe dry. Heavily soiled areas may be
cleaned with a non-scratching scouring pad.

2. Remove the broiler pan and grill, all cookware, utensils and
other loose items from the oven chamber. Also, remove all

oven racks and the convection fan filter to prevent them from

permanently discoloring. However, to clean stubborn particles
in the convection filter you may elect to simply leave it in
place during self-clean. The filter wilt discolor due to the high
heat, but the filtering capabilities will not be affected.

3. Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp
cloth. This wilt minimize smoke and increase the efficiency of

the self-clean cycle.

4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the
process.

IMPORTANT:

If racks are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, it will affect
their ability to slide in and out easily. If damage occurs, 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 will slide

more easily.

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle:

1. Close the oven door completely.

2. Press the SELF-CLEAN key. The oven wilt beep once,

"CLEAN" will flash, and " : " will be displayed.

3. Press the TIME • TEMP + key and the default time of "2:00"
hours will be displayed.

4. Increase the self-clean time up to 4 hours (depending upon
the amount of oven soil) by holding the TIME • TEMP + key.

5. To delay the self-clean start to a more convenient time, press
the STOP TIME key. Then, press the TIME • TEMP + key
to set the time of day for the cycle to be complete. "DELAY

TIMED" will appear in the clock display. The cycle can be
delayed up to 11 hours and 50 minutes.

6. Approximately 30 to 60 seconds after selecting self-clean, the
automatic door latch wilt lock the door. "LOCK" and "ON"

wilt appear in the clock display. The oven wilt begin heating.
The "ON" indicator will cycle on and off with the burner.

NOTE:
If delay timed mode has been set, the "ON" display and the oven

heat will not turn on until the programmed time has been reached.

IMPORTANT:

The electric
door latch is

a convenient

safety feature
that keeps the
door locked when

the interior is too

hot. If the door
is not closed

completely, the automatic door latch wilt not lock the door when
the self-clean is selected. In this case, "Door" will flash in the
display, Press the CANCEL • SECURE key and wait about 1

minute. Repeat the self-clean steps from the beginning, being

certain to close the door completely. Do not try to force the door
open after it is locked, because damage can occur. If you need to

unlock the door, press the CANCEL • SECURE key to turn off the
self-clean cycle. After about 1 minute, "LOCK" will disappear from
the clock display, and the door will unlock. The door will remain

locked until the oven temperature falls below 390°F.

self-clean temperature of 850°F.

8.

The self-clean cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing
CANCEL • SECURE.

9.

After completion of the self-clean cycle, the oven wilt stop
heating and the "ON" and "CLEAN" indicators wilt disappear

from the clock display. Press the CANCEL • SECURE key.

10. After the interior oven temperature falls below 390°F, the door
latch wilt release and "LOCK" wilt disappear from the display.

The door can be opened. Do not select any cooking function
until the oven door is unlocked.

11. Open the door. After ensuring that the oven has cooled
sufficiently to be safe, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe
out the powder residue found in the bottom of the oven.
If white spots remain in the oven, remove them with a

non-scratch scouring pad before using the oven again.
These spots are normally salt that cannot be removed by the
self-clean cycle.

12. Re-install the oven racks and convection filter before cooking
in the oven.

Self-Cleaning Tips:

• If any soil remains in the oven after completion of a self-clean
cycle, repeat the cycle if desired. Increase the cleaning time
during future cycles.

• Clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up.
Doing so will increase the efficiency of the self-clean cycle

and reduce the amount of smoke and odors generated.

• Self-clean in the cooler evening hours after cooking is
complete and when electricity rates are lower.

• On double oven models, if one oven is in the self-clean mode
the other oven is inoperable.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

IMPORTANT:

You may find the temperature in their new oven to be different
from that of their previously-owned appliance, Familiarity with the

old appliance sometimes makes it difficult to get used to a new
