Getting Started

Before using your oven, become familiar with the features and
control panel layout (see pages 4 and 5).

Below the oven mode touch keys are three touch keys
labeled CANCEL • SECURE, LIGHT and COOK TIME. The
CANCEL.SECURE key enables the user to cancel the selection

of an oven mode or delay timed program, or disable the control

panel. The LIGHT key turns the interior oven light on and off. The

LIGHT key will remain functional if the control panel has been
disabled. The COOK TIME key is used to select the length of time
for a cooking process in delay timed cooking mode.

Clock functions are selected by pressing the keys located below
the clock display and oven mode keys. Oven functions are chosen

by pressing the key 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 wilt disappear. Should this occur,

just repeat the initial function selection.

Setting The Time Of Day

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

1. Press the CLOCK key. The time of day wilt flash, "AM" or
"PM" will be displayed, and "TIME" will flash in the display.

2. Press the key "+" or "-" until the correct time of day is
displayed and release.

Securing the Controls

To avoid accidentally turning the oven on, activate the secure
feature. Press and hold the CANCEL • SECURE key for

approximately three seconds. Doing so wilt disable the control
panel and allow cleaning the controls without accidentally starting

any functions. Three beeps wilt sound and "OFF" wilt appear in

the display when the control panel has been secured.
To re-activate the control panel, again push and hold the CANCEL

• SECURE key for three seconds. Three beeps will sound and

"OFF" will disappear from the display.

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.
