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.

IIWhat is Pure ConvectionTM? I

Your new oven has the best cooking system
available today, "Pure Convection TM''.Pure
Convection TM is a total system approach to

cooking. The heat source is a third element
outside the cooking celI 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 ceil 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 TM is
the "Filter." The filter eliminates the transference

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

_:::;_Direction of Air Flow

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:

_ TANDARD BAKE - In Standard Bake

mode, the bottom heating element

i

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 !35°F, to the "H!" 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 !35°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.

[_ URE CONVECTION TM - In Pure

Convection TM 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 TM 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 TM, 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.

IIOven 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 self-
cleaning to prevent permanent discoloration of

the racks.

I

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.

Oven Rack Positions

I Oven Mode Selection I 2.

Follow these steps to manually operate the
oven in Standard Bake, Pure Convection TM or
Convection Bake mode:

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

2. Press the touch pad for "STANDARD
BAKE", "PURE CONVECTION TM''or

"CONVECTION BAKE". The oven will beep
once, the selected cooking mode will flash,
and _'-- -" will be displayed.

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

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

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

preheat. In standard bake mode, the
convection fan will 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 will 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 Preheat cycle is complete. The clock

will beep once and "PRE" and "ON" will
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 preheated oven.

6. It is recommended that a Minute Timer be
set to time the cooking process.

7. When the time expires and/or the
food is done cooking, press the

"CANCEL,SECURE" pad to turn off the
oven.

I Preheating the Oven

The oven features an automatic Preheat cycle
that rapidly brings the oven chamber up to

temperature. Simply by choosing a cooking
mode and setting a temperature, the oven will

automatically perform the Preheat function. The
Preheat cycle operates in Standard Bake, Pure

Convection TM and Convection Bake modes.
There is no Preheat cycle for the Broil or

Convection Broil modes.

Typically, 7 to 10 minutes are required to
preheat the oven to 350°F, and 11 to 14 minutes

are necessary to reach 425°F. Preheat times will
be greater in those areas in which the electrical

supply is less than 240 volts or 208 volts

_ NOTES:

1. For faster heat up, the broil element
comes on during Preheat. For best

results, allow the oven to preheat prior
to placing food inside.

The Preheat cycle is disabled during
"PROBE" cooking. For best results,

allow the oven to preheat in the desired
mode prior to pressing the "PROBE"
key.

I 3.

I Using the Minute Timers
The clock features twotimers that may be used

to time cooking or otherprocesses up to 11

hours, 50 minutes in length.

To use the Minute Timer function, follow these
steps:

1. Press the touch pad labeled "TIMER !", or
"TIMER 2". The clock will display "00:00",

and "TIMER 1", or "TIMER 2" will flash.

2. Press the "+" pad until the desired time is
displayed on the clock.

3. After "TIMER !" has expired, the clock
will sound off with one second beeps and

"TIMER 1" will appear in the display. After
the "TIMER 2" minute timer has expired,

the clock will sound alternating one and
two second beeps and "TIMER 2" will
appear in the display. The beeper can be

silenced by pressing the "TIMER" touch
pad while the beeper is sounding.

_} IMPORTANT:

Cancellation of the Minute Timer does not
turn off the oven if it is operating. You must

manually shut the oven off by pressing the
"CANCEL,SECURE" touch pad. (See the

Delay Timed Cooking section for automatic

oven turn on and turn off.)

_ NOTES:

1. To view the current time of day rather
than the remaining time on the Minute

timer, just press the "CLOCK" touch
pad. To change back to a Minute Timer
display, press the "TIMER 1" or "TIMER

2" touch pad.

2. To cancel the Minute Timer while in

progress, press the "TIMER 1 or 2"
touch pad two times. The clock display
will return to the time of day.

The Minute timers may be used at the
same time as Delay Timed Cooking or

Self-Clean.

4. The Minute Timers will beep for 2

minutes (if not cancelled) before
automatically shutting off.

5. Pressing the "CANCEL,SECURE"
pad when the beeper is sounding will

cancel both the beeper and the cooking
function.

I Securing the Controls

To avoid accidentaIIy turning the oven on,
activate the "SECURE" feature. Press and hold

the _'CANCEL,SECURE" pad for approximately
three seconds. This will disable the control

panel and allow cleaning the controls without

accidentally starting any functions. Three beeps
will sound and "OFF" will appear in the display

when the control panel has been secured.

To re-activate the control panel, again push
and hold the _'CANCEL,SECURE" pad for three

seconds. Three beeps will sound and the "OFF"

will disappear from the display.

ILBaking,Roasting 1

In addition to the conventional radiant-heat
Standard Bake mode, your DACOR oven

offers two convection baking modes: Pure
Convection TM and Convection Bake. 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.

1. 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%.

2. 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.

Common Baking Problems, for additional
information.

3. Do not open the oven door frequently
during baking. Look through the door

window to check the progress of baking
whenever possible.

4. Use the Minute Timers to time baking
functions

5. 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.

6. Bakeware Tips:

• Cakes, quick breads, muffins and
cookies should be baked in shiny,

reflective pans for light, golden crusts.

• Medium gauge aluminum sheets
with low 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.

PROBLEM

1. Cookies and biscuits burn on the bottom.

PROBABLE CAUSE

7.

8.

• 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.

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 wili have to be made

when baking at high altitudes. Consult a
cookbook on high-altitude cooking.

I Multiple Rack Baking

The uniform air circulation provided by Pure
Convection TM 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.

i

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.

Common Baking Problems

[ Oven GlideRack TM

Dacor's Oven GlideRack TM is designed to
install effortlessly and glide at a full extension.

Especially when using Dacor's pizza stone
(model number ABS20), the full extension of the
rack allows you to slide the pizza on and off the

stone with great ease. It is also great for large
roasts in large roasting pans. This easy- slide
rack will allow you to baste more easily and

check temperatures of the food more safely and
quickly.

Proper Installation of the Easy slide Oven
Rack:

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

Oven GlideRack TM with the black porcelain
rack guides in the oven.

2. Begin to slide the rack in, then lift up. The
Oven GlideRack TM 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.

Helpful Hints When Using Your Oven

GlideRack TM :

1. This rack works particularly well with
heavier items, although you can use it
during any baking, broiling or roasting in

your Uacor oven.

2. These racks will need to be spaced out
when using more than one in the oven at

a time. For instance, the racks should be
used on rack positions 1,3, & 5 or 2 & 4,

counting up from the bottom, instead of
using racks 2,3, & 4.

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

results.

4. Heavier roasting pans and dishes will also
cook better on Rack position 1.

5. Do not leave the rack in during self- clean.
The rack will become difficult to slide in
and out if it is self- cleaned. Remove all the

racks and the filter in the back of the oven
before self- cleaning..

6. To clean the rack, use hot, soapy water
and the rough side of a sponge.

Multiple Rack Baking Tips:

1. Typically, when baking on two racks, use
rack positions #2 and #4 or #3 and #5.

When baking on three racks, use rack

positions #!, #3 and #5.

2. 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 mass of food in the oven.

[ Using the Temperature Probe 11

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry,
internal food temperature is the best test for

properly cooked food. The Temperature Probe
takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking

food to the exact temperature you desire.

_ NOTES:
Double Oven models have a Temperature in the

upper oven only.

Plug Probe

Temperature Probe

[_ IMPORTANT

1. Use of probes other than the one

provide with your wall oven may result
in damage to the probe and/or the wall

oven,

2. Use the handles of the Temperature

Probe and plug when inserting and

removing them from the food and outlet.

3. Do not use tongs to pull the cable

when removing the Probe. Do so could

damage the Probe.

4. Make sure the food is completely

defrosted before inserting the Probe to

avoid breaking the Probe.

5. Never leave the Temperature Probe
inside the oven during Self-Clean mode.

6. To prevent the possibility of burns,

unplug the Temperature Probe using hot

pads.

7. Do not store the Probe inside the oven.

Proper Temperature Probe Placement:

1. 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 on the Probe. The point should rest in

the center of the thickest meaty part of the
roast.

2. Insert the Probe to the point marked by
your finger into the meat. 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 loaf 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 leg of a whole turkey.

buttons. A jump-in temperature of 160 ° will

appear when the TIME•TEMPERATURE
key is first pressed. To change to the

desired temperature, just press the
TIME.TEMPERATURE key until you reach
the desired temperature. The temperature

can be set from 100-200 °.

• After the temperature has been set,

the control panel temperature readout
will default to 95°F, even if the food

has not reached that temperature. The
temperature readout will increase in 1°F

increments until the food reaches the set
temperature.

7. The oven will go to the "HOLD" mode for 2
hours after the internal temperature of the

food has reached the desired temperature
and will 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 Temperature Probe from
the food. Do not use tongs to pull on the

Probe, it might be damaged.

_ NOTES:

After meat is pulled out of the oven, it will

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. This will allow the meat to retain its

juices and continue to set, making it easier
to carve.

If the Probe is left inserted in the oven outlet

when not in use, the control will beep and
flash PRB until the Probe is unplugged.

Unplugging the Probe from the oven turns

the oven off.

I Timed/Delayed 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 Convections and
Convection Bake modes. It will not function in
the Broil modes.

Setting the Oven for Delayed Timed Cooking

_ NOTE:

For the double ovens, both the upper and
lower chambers can be set for Delay Timed
Cooking. However, both chambers must

have the same "COOK TIMES" and "STOP
TIMES".

[_ WARNING:
Food safety is an important consideration

when using delayed cooking modes. To
avoid potential sickness and spoiling of

food, take the following steps:

i

1. Avoid using foods that will spoil
while waiting for the cooking cycle

to begin. Typical foods to avoid
include those containing eggs and

dairy products, cream soups, and
cooked or uncooked meats, poultry

and fish stand in the oven for more
than two hours before cooking

begins.

2. If cooking will not begin
immediately, place only very cold

or frozen food into the oven. Most
unfrozen foods should never stand

in the oven for more than two
hours before cooking begins.

3. Do not allow foods to remain in
the oven more than one hour after

completion of the cooking cycle.
When the temperature drops below

140 °, bacteria can develop.

To use Timed Cooking, follow these steps:
(This mode will 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" pad and "TIME"
will appear in the clock display. Press the

"TIME,TEMP" "+" pad to set the length
of time that the food will be cooked. The

"COOK TIME" can be set from 5 minutes to

11 hours, 50 minutes.

5. After the "COOK TIME" has expired, the
clock will beep three times, and "Hold" will

be displayed. If cooking in a convection
mode, the convection fan will also turn

off at this time. While in "Hold" mode, the
oven temperature will be maintained at

150°F for a period of two hours. "Hold"

mode can be cancelled by pressing the
"CANCEL,SECURE" touch pad. The

cooling fan will continue to run depending
upon the length and temperature of the

cooking process.

To use Timed Cooking, follow these steps:
(This mode allows the cooking process to

start at a later time and finish at the desired
time.)

1. Follow steps ! thru 4 in the previous
instructions for Timed Cooking.

2. Press the "STOP TIME" touch pad, and
"STOP" will appear in the clock display.

Press the "TIME,TEMP" "+" pad to enter

the time of day that you wish the oven to
shut off. "DELAY" will now be displayed.

The oven will calculate the correct "START
TIME." After the "COOK TIME" has expired,

the clock will beep three times, and "Hold"
will be displayed. If cooking in a convection

mode, the convection fan will also turn

off at this time. While in "Hold" mode, the
oven temperature will be maintained at

150°F for a period of two hours. "Hold"
mode can be cancelled by pressing the

"CANCEL,SECURE" touch pad. The
cooling fan will continue to run depending

upon the length and temperature of the

cooking process.

DELAYED TIMED COOKING TIPS:

1. Do not use foods containing baking powder
or yeast in Delay Timed Cooking. These

foods will not rise properly.

2. Remember that "COOK TIME" refers to
the length of the cooking cycle. It does not

refer to the start time!

3. The time required to preheat the oven must
be included in the "COOK TIME." Thus,

the "COOK TIME" should be increased by
about 8 to 12 minutes depending upon the

temperature setting. The top element does
not come on to preheat in the Delay Mode,

so you will not pre-maturety brown foods.

iI Dehydratin g/Defrosting

The oven can be used to dehydrate or
defrost foods at low heat settings in "Pure
Convection TM''mode.

Follow these steps to dehydrate or defrost

foods:

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

2. Place the food onto the center of the oven
rack. (For dehydrating, prepare food as

recommended then place food onto a
drying rack.)

3. Press the "PURE CONVECTION TM''pad.

4. Set the temperature to 135°F. This is the
minimum temperature that can be set. (For

dehydrating, a higher temperature setting
may be required. Follow the recommended

temperature for the type of food being
prepared.)

5. It is recommended that the user set the
Minute Timer(s) to time the process.

I Br°iling i

Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare
many foods, including steaks, chicken, chops,

hamburgers and fish. Broiling in the oven is
completed 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°R

and/or the food is cooked, press the

"CANCEL,SECURE" touch pad to turn off
the oven. The cooling fan will 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.

This 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 as
this allows juices to 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 will 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.

i

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 a heavily soiled condition.

The Self-Clean cycle can also be delayed to
start at a later time if desired.

_ IMPORTANT:

1. It is normal for some smoke to be
emitted during the first few Self-Clean

cycles.

2. Popping sounds are normal during Self-
Clean cycles. These sounds are caused

by the expansion and contraction of
metal surfaces during heat-up and cool-

down.

3. 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.

_ WARNINGS:

1. DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN LIGHTS
IN THE SELF-CLEAN MODE.

2. Do not touch the outside surfaces of the
oven during the Self-Clean cycle

3. Do not use commercial oven cleaners
inside the oven. Use of these cleaners

can produce hazardous fumes or can
permanently damage the porcelain

finishes.

Prepare the oven for Self-Cleaning by

following these steps:

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 well with a

solution of vinegar and water, then wipe
dry. Heavily soiled areas may be cleaned

with a non-scratching scouring pad.
