Purpose of This Manual

This Use & Care Manual is designed to enable
you to properly operate and maintain your new
cooktop. Please keep this manual handy for
easy access and quick reference.

Additional information may be requested by
e-mailing, writing or phoning the DACOR
Customer Service Department. The address
and phone number of this department are listed
on the inside front cover of this manual.

What to Do

1. Begin by ensuring proper installation and
grounding of the appliance by a qualified
technician according to the accompanying
Installation Instructions. Have the installer
show you where the fuse or junction box is
located so that you know how and where
to turn off power.

2. Ensure that the oven is used only by those
individuals who are able to operate it
properly.

3. Use the oven only for cooking tasks
expected of a home oven as outlined in
this manual.

4. Properly clean and maintain the oven as
recommended in this manual.

5. Use only dry potholders to avoid steam
burns when removing hot cookware.

6. Exercise caution when opening the oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape before
looking or reaching into the oven.

7. Allow the oven cool air intake (located
below the door handle) to remain
unobstructed at all times.

8. Position oven racks in desired locations
when the oven is cool. (If a rack must be
repositioned after the oven is already hot,
be certain that the potholder does not
contact a hot heating element in the oven.)

9. Before Self-Cleaning the oven, remove
the broiler grill and pan, oven racks,
convection fan filter and any other utensils.

10. Clean only those parts listed in this
manual.

What Not to Do

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

4. Do not wear loose or hanging apparel
while using the oven.

5. Do not store combustible, flammable
or explosive materials in the oven or in
adjacent cabinets.

6. CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR
COOKING UTENSILS, ETC., IN THE
OVEN DURING THE SELF-CLEAN
CYCLE.

7. Do not repair or replace any part of the
oven unless specifically recommended in
literature accompanying this appliance.
All other service should be referred to a
qualified technician.

8. Do not use water on grease fires. A violent
steam explosion may result. Smother any
flames with a lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Flaming grease can be extinguished with
baking soda or foam extinguisher.

9. Do not allow potholders to touch hot
surfaces. Do not use towels or bulky cloth
as potholders.

10. Do not use commercial oven cleaners or
oven liner protective coatings on any part
of the oven.

11. Do not clean the door gasket, because
rubbing, moving or in any way damaging
the gasket, may eliminate the required
tight door seal.

12. DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES
OF THE OVEN. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of the oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool.

13. 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.

14. Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners
or detergents on this appliance, as these
may cause permanent damage. Do not
use aerosol cleaners, as these may be
flammable or cause corrosion of metal
parts.

15. Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato
sauces, etc.) to remain on the oven cell
surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain.

Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

Getting Started

Before using your oven, become familiar with
the features and control panel layout.

Below the oven mode touch pads are three
touch pads labeled “CANCEL•SECURE,”
“LIGHT” and “COOK TIME”. The
“CANCEL•SECURE” touch pad enables the
user to cancel the selection of an oven mode
or Delay Timed program, or disable the control
panel by pressing and holding the pad for
approximately three (3) seconds. Once the
control panel is in the “SECURE” mode, “OFF”
will be displayed on the clock. The “LIGHT”
touch pad turns the interior oven light “on”
and “off.” The “LIGHT” touch pad will remain
functional if the control panel has been disabled.
The “COOK TIME” touch pad is used to select
the length of time for a cooking process in Delay
Timed cooking mode.

Clock functions are selected by pressing the
touch pads located below the clock display
and oven mode touch pads. Oven functions
are chosen by pressing the touch pad for the
desired mode. Once a clock or oven function
has been chosen, a description of the selection
will flash in the clock display area.

IMPORTANT:

After choosing a clock function or oven
mode, you have six seconds to perform the
next programming step. If the next step is
not complete within six (6) seconds, the
program selection displayed on the clock
will disappear. Should this occur, just repeat
the initial function selection.

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 cell 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 cell 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.

Heated Air Circulation Pattern in Convection Modes

Setting the Time of Day

Follow these two steps to set the correct
time of day:

1. Press the “CLOCK” touch pad. The time

of day will flash, “AM” or “PM” will be
displayed, and “TIME” will flash in the
display.

2. Press the touch pad “+” or “–” until the

correct time of day is displayed and
release.

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˚ 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 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. Only available in ECD 230,
PCD 230, and MCD230 models. Broiling
is 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˚ 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 use 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 Self­Clean time is adjustable up to four hours
so that varying degrees of oven soil can
be successfully removed. Also, the Self­Clean cycle can be delayed to start at a
later time if desired.

Oven Racks and Supports

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 self­cleaning to prevent permanent discoloration of
the racks.

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

To install 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.
