Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY. ALL DACOR APPLIANCES ARE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO GIVE YOU MANY YEARS OF SAFE OPERATION. OPERATION IS FURTHER ENHANCED IF PROPER CARE AND JUDGEMENT ARE EXERCISED IN THE USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS APPLIANCE.
WARNING:
Only use the oven for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in this manual.
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a
damaged appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in the literature ac­companying this appliance. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.
Make sure that the appliance has been properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer ac­cording to the accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you know where and how to turn off the power.
Always make sure food is cooked thoroughly before eating.
Make sure individuals who use the oven are able to operate it properly.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the oven. Do not allow children to play
with the oven. Children must be taught that the oven is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with the controls or other parts of the oven.
Never allow anyone, including children to sit or stand on any part of the oven. Stepping or sitting on the oven may result in tipping, door breakage, and serious injury.
Do not store items of interest to children above the oven. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the oven.
Position oven racks in desired locations only when the oven is cool. If you need to reposition a rack
after the oven is already hot, use a potholder.
DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN DURING OR AFTER USE. Do not allow clothing or other flammable materials to contact interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Use only dry potholders when removing food and cookware from the oven. Wet potholders can cause steam burns.
Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the oven.
Do not store combustible, flammable, or explosive materials in the oven or in adjacent cabinets.
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Smother any flames with a
lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray. Use baking soda or a foam extinguisher to extinguish flaming grease.
4
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as potholders.
Use extreme caution if adding water to food in a hot oven. The steam can cause serious burns or
scalds.
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.
To prevent the possibility of burns, connect and unplug the meat probe using hot pads.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the oven and be sure that the oven is cool before clean­ing.
For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the convection filter(s) installed. When the filter is not installed, the spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed.
Do not leave the oven unattended when cooking with oils or fats. They can be a fire hazard if over­heated.
Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the self-clean cycle. They will be hot.
The oven automatically locks the oven door during self-cleaning. Do not try to force the door open
after it is locked. Damage to the door and door latch may result.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan grill and pan, oven racks, convection filter, meat probe, and any other utensils.
Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn up during self-cleaning and cause permanent damage to the oven.
Properly clean and maintain the oven as recommended in this manual.
Clean only those parts listed in this manual.
Use only the cleaning solutions specified in this manual to clean your oven. Do not use any cleaners
that are not specified to clean the inside or outside of the oven. Other cleaning solutions could pro­duce hazardous fumes, cause corrosion of the metal parts, and could permanently damage the fin­ishes.
Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing, moving, or in any way damaging the door gasket may eliminate the required tight door seal. Clean only as specified in this manual.
Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the oven surfaces inside or out­side the oven. The porcelain finish may stain.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Do not leave metal objects, such as aluminum foil, the meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the floor of the oven. Objects left on the bottom of the oven could trap heat in the bottom, damaging the bake element. In addition, the objects themselves could be damaged.
Do not allow the glass panels in the top and bottom of the oven to become covered up by cookie sheets, aluminum foil, pots, pans, etc. Some of the ovens heating elements are behind the glass panels. Covering them could cause the heating elements behind them to over-heat, damaging the oven.
To prevent damage, remove the meat probe from the oven when it is not being used.
Do not allow the cool air intake or exhaust slots, located below the bottom of the oven door(s) to
become obstructed at any time. Do not operate the oven if the metal strip below the oven door is bent.
Do not allow the cool air slots located inside the door(s) to become obstructed at any time.
Do not use the oven for warming or heating the room.

Getting to Know Your Oven
Getting to Know Your Oven
Before Getting Started, Become Familiar with Your Oven.
Parts of the Oven
Control panel: Your oven’s control panel consists of keys and a display. You use the
control panel to control all the oven’s features (sometimes called modes).
Oven racks: Your oven comes with 3 adjustable oven racks. It comes with 6 if you
have a
Rack supports: There are 6 sets of rack supports inside each oven chamber. They sup-
port the adjustable oven racks.
Meat probe connector: When you use the meat probe, insert the skewer into the meat and plug
the other end into this connector. See the Meat Probe 46 for proper operation.
double oven
.
section on page
Oven lights: There are 2 oven lights inside the oven chamber so that you can easily
see the food inside the oven when the door is open and through the oven window when the door is closed. The lights come on automatically when you open the oven door or you may press the light key on the con­trol panel to keep the lights on. The bulbs are 12 volt, 10 watt, halogen.
Bake elements: Hidden below the glass panel on the floor of the oven chamber are the
bake elements. They are the source of bottom heat.
Broil elements: Hidden above the glass panel in the roof of the oven chamber are the
broil elements. They are the source of top heat.
Convection fan: The convection fan blows hot air into the oven chamber during the con-
vection cooking process. The convection filter covers it.
Convection element: The convection element creates the hot air that is blown into the oven
chamber by the convection fan during the convection cooking process. The convection filter covers it.
Convection filter: The convection filter covers the convection fan. It helps prevent the
transfer of taste from one food to another when you are cooking a whole meal. It also keeps the oven cleaner, especially when roasting or broil­ing. In addition, it covers the moving fan blades for safety purposes.
6
Self-clean latch: The self-clean latch automatically locks the oven door during the self-
clean cycle. The door latches for your safety. There are very high tem­peratures inside the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Door gasket: The door gasket prevents heat from escaping when the door is closed.

Before You Cook
If you have not used the oven for an extended period of time, the display will go to “sleep”. When
the display is sleeping, it is not lit. To wake the display (make it reappear), press one of the keys on the control panel or open the oven door.
When you use your oven to bake or roast, it preheats automatically. The preheat cycle rapidly brings
the oven chamber up to the proper cooking temperature. It usually takes 7 to 14 minutes to preheat the oven, depending on the temperature settings. Pre-heat times 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 is called carry-over. The larger the
portion of food, the longer it will carry-over. It is best to let the meat rest after it comes out of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Doing so will allow the meat to retain its juices and make it easier to carve.
Quick Start Guide
The four most commonly used modes are on the home screen for instant access.
Bake
Bottom heat source, mode commonly used for basic recipes.
Pure Convection/Sear
Same as Pure Convection, but runs 75°F hotter than the set temperature for
the first 15 minutes to sear in the juices. Excellent for roasting.
Pure Convection
Rear heat source with fan to even the heat in the oven. Excellent for baked
goods and multiple rack cooking.
Max Broil
Top heat source. Used for grilling meats or toasting breads.
NOTE: For a description of all oven modes, please see the Main Menu section on page 26.

CAUTION: The timers on your oven do not turn the oven on or off. They are only for timing purposes.
When you want to turn the oven on or off automatically, use the delay options (see page 42).
NOTE: Pressing the CANCEL/SECURE key does NOT
turn off the timers.
Your wall oven is equipped with 2 built-in timers:
You can use both of them at the same time.
They have distinctive alarm tones so that once time runs out, you can tell which one has beeped.
You may want to set each timer for a few seconds and let time run out so that you can hear the dif-
ference between the 2 tones.
To Use the Timers on Your Oven:
Press the TIMER key.
The timer screen appears.
Press the TIMER 1 or TIMER 2 key. For
this example, press TIMER 1.
Enter the hours, minutes and seconds to be timed on the keypad. For example: to enter 1 hour, 2 minutes and 30 seconds (1:02:30), press 1-0-2-3-0. You need to enter the number of seconds being timed even if it is zero. For example: You must enter 5 min­utes and no seconds as 5-0-0 to get 00:05:00 on the timer. If you don’t enter 0- 0, after 5, then the timer will only run for 5 seconds (you will have entered 00:00:05).

Important Tips for Using Dacor Guide
In some cases the display may instruct you to place the food in the oven and then press START. In
other cases the oven will preheat when you press START and instruct you to place the food in the oven when you hear the preheat tone (“WAIT FOR PRE-HEAT TONE”).
If the display instructs you to “INSERT MEAT PROBE”, insert the meat probe into the meat prior to
putting the food into the oven. See the page 46 for complete instructions on how to use the meat probe. It is not necessary to use the meat probe, but it is a very convenient, safe feature.
If you are using the timer, start it when you place the food in the oven.
If the Dacor
check the food for doneness yourself.
Guide instructions read “COOK UNTIL…” or “SET TIMER FOR…” you will need to
If you use the meat probe, the oven will automatically stop cooking when the meat has reached the
desired temperature. The oven will then reduce the temperature to a level that will keep the meat warm for up to 2 hours (“HOLD” will appear on the display).
In all other instances, the oven will cook the food for the amount of time shown on the Dacor
Guide display. When the oven is through cooking for the amount of time indicated, it will beep and reduce the temperature to a level that will keep the food warm for up to 2 hours (“HOLD” will appear on the display).
When you want to turn off your oven:
Double oven:
Press UPPER ON/OFF or LOWER ON/OFF. To turn off both ovens at the same
time, press CANCEL/SECURE.

The three basic styles of cooking in an oven are:
Baking: The gentle cooking of dry goods such as cookies, cakes, soufflés, etc.
Roasting: The cooking of meats over a period of time.
Broiling: Cooking with an intense heat for a short amount of time.
As seen on the main menu diagram above, there are 3 options available. When one of these 3 keys is pressed, the mode options available for that style of cooking appear on the screen. When you select a mode option for a particular cooking style the “jump-in” temperature is shown for that mode. This is the temperature that will automatically come up when you select the mode. To change the temperature, just enter the desired temperature on the number keypad and press START.

Baking Modes: Description:
BAKE Uses only a heat source from below
the food. This mode is the stand-by, non-convection mode. All baked items will turn out nicely in this mode.
PURE CONVECTION Uses only convection heat. Best for
multiple rack items, cakes, tarts, puff pastries, cookies, free form yeast breads, scones, muffins, and yeast rolls. This mode is best for light col­ored and delicate baked goods.
SURROUND BAKE Uses heat sources that are above and
below the food. This mode is best for angel-food cake, fruit cobblers, quick breads, soufflés, 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 Uses a combination of convection
cooking and a heat source below the food. This mode 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. These are items in a deep pan that require browning on the top and bottom.
SURROUND CONVECTION BAKE
Uses a combination convection cooking and heat sources above and below the food. This mode is best for bagels, biscuits, and pretzels. These thin items are often in a shallow pan and require dark browning on the top and bottom. This mode will provide the quickest cook time and the darkest overall browning for baked goods.
Jump-in temperature/ cooking suggestions:
Jump-in temperature: 350°F. Follow original times and temperatures.
Jump-in temperature: 325°F. Lower standard recipes by 25°F. For bak­ing time, use the lowest stated time in the recipe and add more time if necessary. If multiple-rack baking with 3 or more racks, increase time by 5-15 minutes on average.
Jump-in temperature: 350°F. No temperature or time adjustments are necessary in this mode.
Jump-in temperature: 325°F. Lower standard recipes by 25°F. Since these items require a longer cook time, convection bake time is on average about 25% shorter. Set timer 15 minutes before the lowest stated temperature and add more time if necessary.
Jump-in temperature: 325°F. Lower standard recipes by 25°F. Since these items cook for a very short period of time, there are no time adjustments.

About Pure Convection™ Baking
The uniform air circulation provided by Pure Con-
vection™ allows you to use the full capacity of your oven. You can successfully prepare food, like cakes, cookies, muffins, and rolls on 2 or 3 racks at the same time. You can also prepare complete meals using multiple racks.
Some recipes, especially those that are home-
made, may require adjustment and testing when converting from standard baking to convection baking. If you are unsure how to convert a rec­ipe, begin by preparing the recipe using the stan­dard bake settings. After achieving acceptable re­sults, follow the convection guidelines below. If the food is not cooked to your satisfaction during this first 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.
Direction of Airflow
Convection guidelines: As a general rule, to convert conventional standard bake recipes to con-
vection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25˚F and the cook time by approximately 10%.
Baking Tips
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 oven timers to determine baking time.
Wait until the shortest recommended baking time before checking food. For most baked goods, a
wooden pick placed in the center should come clean when the food is done.

The browning process sears the surface of the meat to keep the natural juices from escap­ing. In Pure Convection Sear mode, the oven cooks the meat 75°F higher than set temperature for the first 15 minutes. This mode is best for game hens, chickens, stuffed and un-stuffed turkeys, turkey breasts, pork tenderloin, and pork loins.
PURE CONVECTION Uses only convection heat. No other heat
sources are used. Best for whole roasted duck, lamb shoulder, and short leg of lamb.
SURROUND ROAST Uses heat sources that are above and below
the food. 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 Uses a combination of convection cooking and
a heat source below the food at the same time. Best for rib roasts, boned and rolled loins, and oven-braised meat and poultry that are covered.
SURROUND CONVECTION ROAST
Uses a combination of convection cooking and heat sources above and below the food.

Broiling Tips
Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, ham-
burgers, and fish.
Broiling in the oven is done with the oven door completely shut.
NOTE: The heating elements are disabled when the door is open.
It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor. You can
adjust the broil temperature in 5˚F increments from a minimum of 135˚F up to the maximum setting of “HI”. The “HI” setting is the equivalent to 555˚F.
Setting the timer is recommended to time the broiling process.
The cooling fan may continue to run for 30 to 45 minutes depending upon the length and tempera-
ture of the broiling process.
Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage for excess fat and grease. Doing so will reduce
spatter, smoke, and flare-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.
Broil food on the first 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.

Tips for Dehydrating
Deluxe Features
Equipment Required for Dehydrating Foods
Half sheet pan or jelly roll pan with ½” rim all the way around it
Baking rack that fits inside the half sheet pan
Cheesecloth
4 quart saucepot with lid
Steamer basket that fits inside 4 quart saucepan. One that is perforated and opens up will work well.
Slotted spoon
Paper towels
A sharp knife
Notes for dehydrating fruits:
Place the food onto the center of the oven rack. (For dehydrating, prepare food as recommended
then place food onto a drying rack.)
You can add honey, spices, lime juice, or orange juice to give the fruit a different flavor.
To prevent darkening during dehydration and storage, you should steam blanch apples, apricots,
peaches, nectarines, pears, or foods that will oxidize.
To steam blanch:
Add 1 inch of water to a 4 quart saucepot. Insert the steam basket and place the fruit in it. Cover the pot and steam for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and dab with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before de-
hydrating.
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.
To give the fruit a candied effect and to help retain color, blanch them in simple syrup*. You can
candy the fruits mentioned above as well as figs and plums.
* The basic ratio for simple syrup is 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water. Add these ingredients to a 4
quart stockpot and bring to a boil. Stir until all the sugar dissolves. Remove the saucepan from the stove and allow it to cool. Dip fruit into the simple syrup after it has cooled. Proceed to dehydrate.
You should water blanch items with tough skins such as grapes, prunes, dark plums, cherries, figs,
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:
Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in 4 quart pot. Drop the fruit in the water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the skin begins to crack. 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.
Always wash and remove excess moisture from all fruits and vegetables before dehydrating.
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.
Always cut fruits and vegetables into uniform pieces.

Proof
Proofing is the process of allowing dough to rise. Your oven’s proof mode is best for yeast breads that require rise time in a warm, draft-free environment. Your oven maintains the ideal temperature for best dough fermentation.
Before you turn on the oven, position the racks at the levels you need them.
After you prepare the yeast dough, place it in a clean bowl, place a damp towel over the top, and put
it in the oven.
If you have a

Defrost
Things to Keep in Mind:
Food that takes an exceptional amount of time to defrost will not defrost well in a convection oven.
You should not defrost anything that would normally take over 2 hours to thaw. The food would be-
gin to spoil at the oven’s defrost temperature of 110°F.
If you have a partially defrosted turkey, rib roast, or other large cut of meat, you may continue to
defrost it in your convection oven. If wing tips and legs begin to dry out when you defrost poultry, you may wrap the tips with aluminum foil.
If you are defrosting a small cut of meat, lay it on a flat cookie sheet with a 1-inch rim to catch juices
as the meat thaws.
Thick, frozen casseroles such as lasagna will not defrost well in your oven. Instead, defrost according
to the food manufacturer’s suggestions. You may also defrost casseroles in the refrigerator overnight. You should leave the food in its original container and keep it covered.
You can bake some foods from frozen. Some examples are: pizza, frozen pastries, croissants, cook-
ies, etc. Before baking frozen food, allow the oven to finish preheating.
How to Use the Defrost Feature
Before you turn on the oven, position the racks.
Place the food you want to defrost in an appropriate size bowl or roasting pan to catch juices and
water. You can also place food on an aluminum surface such as a Dacor
griddle to speed the proc-
ess. This mode can also be used for defrosting breads.
Place the food in the oven on rack #3 (counting from the bottom).

You cannot change the stop time or duration of the self-clean cycle. The duration time for self-cleaning is set automatically when you pick light, medium, or heavy cleaning.
Guide and self-clean. You can set the oven to turn on up to a week later.
WARNING: Food safety is an important consideration when using the delay options feature. To avoid potential sickness and the spoiling of food, take the following steps:
Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the oven to start cooking. Typical foods to avoid include: those containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups, and cooked or uncooked meats, poultry, and fish.
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 2 hours before cooking begins.
Do not allow foods to remain in the oven after completion of the hold cycle. The hold cycle automati­cally starts at the conclusion of timed cooking and keeps your food at 150°F for 2 hours (“HOLD” appears on the screen). When the temperature drops below 140˚F, bacteria can develop.
NOTE: You may use the timers while using the delay options feature. The timers do not have an effect on any of the delay options settings.

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 meat probe that comes with your oven 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 temperature range at which the probe can be set is from 100°F to 200°F.
PARTS OF THE MEAT PROBE
WARNING: To prevent the possibility of burns, connect and unplug the meat probe using hot pads.
IMPORTANT:
Use the handle to insert and remove the meat probe skewer. Also, use the handle on the meat probe plug to insert and disconnect it. 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.
Never leave the meat probe inside the oven, especially during the self-clean cycle.

How to Use Your Meat Probe
Prepare the meat for cooking prior to setting the oven. Insert the skewer of the meat probe 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.

When you are cooking a food item that is very heavy, use the Dacor
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 #1 for best results.

cookie sheets, with their low profiles, will give you the best results.
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.
For roasting, a V-shaped rack in a roasting pan works best to allow air circulation around the food.
Dacor’s roasting pan works particularly well and 2 of them will fit side by side in a 30 inch oven chamber.

Cooking Tips
High Altitude Cooking
Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, 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 final pan rising develops a better flavor. Try making the following adjustments for successful recipes. Take note of the changes that work best and mark your recipes accordingly.

Self-Cleaning
WARNING: Do not leave the racks, the meat probe, pots, pans, utensils, trays, foil, or any other items
in the oven during self-cleaning. The convection filter must also be removed. Items left in the oven dur­ing self-cleaning may be damaged.
WARNING: The control panel automatically locks the oven door during self-cleaning. Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. Damage to the door latch may result.
WARNING: Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the self-clean cycle. They will be hot.
WARNING: Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn
during self-cleaning and cause permanent damage to the oven.
WARNING: Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing, moving or in any way dam­aging the door gasket may eliminate the required tight door seal. See page 54 for cleaning instructions.
IMPORTANT: Always remove excess grease and soil from the oven interior and door prior to using the self-clean cycle. See page 54 for proper cleaning instructions.
About the Self-clean cycle
The oven will run better and produce better baked goods if it is clean.
During self-cleaning, the oven is heated to very high temperatures which burns off any deposits on
the surfaces of the oven. Self-cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. You can set the length of time for self-cleaning based on the amount of soil. The 3 settings are light (2 hours), medium (3 hours), and heavy (4 hours).
If you only use your oven to bake cookies occasionally, it may require only a light cleaning. If you use
your oven to broil or roast on a frequent basis, it may require heavy cleaning.
It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the first few self-clean cycles.
It is normal for the oven to emit popping sounds during self-cleaning. These sounds are caused by
the expansion and contraction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and cools down.
When you self-clean your oven, it will automatically activate the electric door latch. The latch pre-
vents the oven door from being opened while the interior oven temperatures can easily cause injury.
You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of the oven after self-cleaning. This is normal.
Sponge the residue up after the oven completely cools.

Cleaning the Surfaces of the Oven
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the oven and be sure that it is cool before clean-
ing.
WARNING: Use only the cleaning solutions specified in this manual to clean your oven. Do not use ANY cleaners that are not specified to clean the inside or outside of the oven. Use of other cleaners could pro­duce hazardous fumes, cause corrosion of the metal parts, and could permanently damage the finishes.
WARNING: Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing, moving, or in any way dam­aging the door gasket may eliminate the required tight door seal for self-cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces with the grain.
NOTE: If you want to avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the control panel, activate
the lock-out feature on your oven. Press the CANCEL/SECURE key for 5 seconds. The lock-out feature will disable the control panel on your oven so that you can clean the keys and display.
When you want to re-activate the control panel on your oven, press the CANCEL/SECURE key for 5 seconds. The word “LOCKED” will disappear from the display.
NOTE: Your oven’s self-clean feature eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. The steps below are for cleaning surfaces and items that are not covered by the self-clean process. To use the self-clean feature see page 51.
Glass and Porcelain Surfaces
When you want to clean the glass and porcelain surfaces on your oven, use a non-abrasive, sponge with warm, soapy water. Dry the surfaces of your oven completely with a soft, lint-free cloth. You may scrub the oven light lens with the rough side of a sponge and warm, soapy water. Be careful not to scratch the lens.
Glass surfaces may also be cleaned with Dacor
according to the directions on the package.

Cleaning the Convection Filter
The convection filter is located in the back of the oven chamber. If you have a vection filters, one in the back of each oven chamber. The control panel will remind you to clean the filter based on the amount of use the oven receives. You also need to remove the filter during the self-clean cycle.
WARNING: Remove the filter(s) only when the oven is cool.
WARNING: For your safety, re-install the filter(s) before using the oven to cook. If you don’t, the spin-
ning fan blades at the back of the oven will be exposed.
Removing your oven’s filter(s):
Put your fingers around the edges of the filter and gently push up.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Oven
Installing your oven’s filter(s):
The metal clips on the back of the filter hook over the metal bar across the fan hole. Place the filter flat against the back of the oven above the hole with the clips on the back of the filter pointing down. Be careful not to push the filter too hard against the back wall because the clips can scratch the sur­face. Gently push the filter straight down over the hole until the clips catch on the metal bar.

Cleaning the Accessories
IMPORTANT: You must remove all accessories from the oven during the self-clean cycle. If you leave
accessories in the oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently discolor and/or become permanently damaged. Racks will become difficult to slide.
Oven Racks
To clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. When you need to clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. You may also use a solution of 1 cup of ammonia to 2 gallons of water.
Meat Probe
IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the meat probe in water. It will become damaged.
The meat probe is constructed of vinyl handles, a wire, a plug, and a stainless steel skewer. To clean the skewer, use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water. When you clean the handles, wipe with soft sponge soaked with a solution of detergent and warm water.
Broil Pan
Your broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If your broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad with plenty of water. Rinse it well after cleaning.
Optional Roast/Broil Pan with V-shaped Rack
Your roast/broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If your roast/broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad and plenty of water. Rinse it well after cleaning.
The optional V-shaped rack is finished with an Excalibur
coating. When you clean it, use a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Use the side of a sponge to scrub it and dry it with a lint-free cloth.
non-stick
Optional Baking Stone
Wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub it clean before you use it for the first time.
Do not use any soap or detergents to wash the stone. The stone is porous and soap will get trapped inside. The trapped soap will affect the flavor of the food cooked on it. Don’t be alarmed if the stone gets stains on it after it is used for a while. Stains do not affect the stone's ability to bake properly.
When you need to remove large food particles from the baking stone, use warm water and a scrub brush. If there is a lot of oil build-up, it may smoke and create odors. If you need to remove the oily build up, use a scouring pad or brush to remove it. You may also use a paste of baking soda and wa­ter to scrub small stained spots off.
Optional Cookie Sheets
Clean the optional aluminum cookie sheets with a solution of detergent and warm water. Since alu­minum can scratch, you need to use the soft side of a sponge. A way for you to keep cookie sheets cleaner is to use parchment paper over the cooking surface during baking. The parchment paper will also prevent food from sticking.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Oven
Replacing the Light Bulbs
Light bulb replacement is considered to be a homeowner maintenance operation.
NOTE: If the lights do not work, before replacing them, please consult the Problem Solution Guide page 59.
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock and/or personal injury, make certain that the oven and light bulb(s) are cool and that power to the oven has been turned off at the main power supply before replac­ing the light bulb(s).
WARNING: Always ensure that the lens cover is in place when using the oven. The lens cover protects the bulbs from breakage that can be caused by high temperatures or being bumped.
on
To Replace the Light Bulb(s), Follow These Steps:
NOTE: Do not touch the halogen light bulbs with your fingers. Halogen light bulbs are sensitive to the
oils from your hand. The oils from your hand will stick to the bulb and cause it to burn out faster than normal. Use a glove when handling them.
Turn off power to the oven at the main power supply.
Each light assembly consists of a light fixture housing, a removable lens cover, and a 12 Volt halogen
light bulb. See page 7 for the location of the light fixtures.
Gently insert the pointed end of the supplied pry stick under the center edge of the lens cover on the side facing the oven door. Hold your hand under the lens for support, then pry out, pulling the lens cover straight out.
IMPORTANT: Use the pry stick with caution. Do not cause uneven stress on the lens cover.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
Pull the light bulb straight out of the light socket (do not turn).
Using a glove, insert the new bulb into the socket. Replace the bulb only with Dacor
available from any authorized Dacor
Reinstall the lens cover by aligning the cover over the opening and gently pressing it into its original position. Be sure that the side of the lens cover with the cutaway is in the front, by the socket.
Turn the power to the oven back on at the main power supply.
