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 will 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:
Press the 1. CLOCK key. The time of day will flash, “AM” or
“PM” will be displayed, and “TIME” will flash in the display.
Press the key 2. “+” 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 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 key for three seconds. Three beeps will sound and
“OFF” will disappear from the display.

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 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.
GlideRack™ Oven Rack
Dacor’s GlideRack 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 will 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:
Fully extend the two side guides. Align the two small clips 1.
on the bottom at the rear of the rack with the black porcelain
rack guides in the oven.
Begin to slide the rack in, then lift up. The GlideRack oven 2.
rack must be in between the two clips on the upper and lower
side of the rack rear.
Push the rack all the way to the back.3.
Grasp the rack in the front center and pull. The rack should 4.
come forward while the side guides remain in place.
Oven Rack Positions
Helpful Hints When Using Your GlideRack Oven Rack
The GlideRack oven rack works particularly well 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 GlideRack 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.
Temperaturesmaybesetfrom135˚Fto555˚Fin5˚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
temperatureisadjustablefrom135˚F,tothe“HI”setting
(equivalentto555˚F)forgreatercookingflexibility.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
temperatureisadjustablefrom135˚Ftothe“HI”setting
(equivalentto555˚F)forgreatercookingflexibility.This
mode is available only on models ECD230, PCD230, and
MCD230. Convection broil is always performed with the
door closed.
PURE CONVECTION
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˚Fto555˚Fin5˚Fincrements.Usethismode
for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting and
preparation of complete meals.
CONVECTION BAKE – In this combination convectionradiant 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.Temperaturesmaybesetfrom135˚Fto555˚F
in5˚Fincrements.Usethismodeforsinglerackbaking,
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
thattheprobewillreadisfrom100˚Fto200˚F.
SELF-CLEAN – In the pyrolytic self-clean mode, the oven
reachestemperaturesof850˚F,therebyburningoffoven
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.

Oven Mode Selection
Follow these steps to manually operate the oven in standard
bake, Pure Convection or convection bake mode:
Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).1.
Press the 2. BAKE, PURE CONVECTION or CONVECTION
BAKE key. The oven will beep once, the selected cooking
mode will flash, and “– – –” will be displayed.
Press either the 3. “+” or “–” key. The default temperature of
350˚Fwillbedisplayed.
Toadjustthecookingtemperaturefrom350˚F,pressand4.
hold the TIME • TEMP key. (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 pre-heat. 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
with135˚F.Thetemperaturedisplaywillincreasein5˚F
increments until the desired temperature is reached. The
cooling fan will turn on when the oven temperature reaches
200˚F.Whenthedesiredtemperatureisattained,thepre-heat
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.)
Carefully place the food onto the desired rack(s) within the 5.
pre-heated oven.
It is recommended that you set a minute timer to time the 6.
cooking process (see page 11).
When the time expires and/or the food is done cooking, press 7.
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 will
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.

AIR FLOW
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 in Convection Modes
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 •
recipestoconvectionrecipes,reducetemperatureby25˚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 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.
When using glass bakeware, reduce the recipe temperature •
by25˚F,exceptwhenbakingpiesoryeastbreads.Followthe
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 is a 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˚Fincrementsfrom135˚Fuptothemaximumsettingof“HI”.The
“HI”settingisequivalentto555˚F.

ov e n op e r a t I o n
To operate the oven in standard broil or convection broil
modes:
Close the door tightly.1.
Press the 2. BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL key.
Press the 3. TIME • TEMP + or TIME • TEMP – key and the
default temperature setting “HI” will be displayed. “HI” is
equivalentto555˚F.
If a temperature other than 4. “HI” is desired, press the TIME
• TEMP – key to reduce the temperature. Six seconds after
setting the temperature, the “ON” indicator will light up in the
clock display, the broiler element will begin heating.
Dacor recommends that you set the minute timer(s) to time 5.
the broiling process (see page 11).
When the minute timer expires and/or the food is cooked, 6.
press the CANCEL • SECURE key 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:
Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage for 1.
excess fat and grease. Doing so will reduce spatter, smoke
and flare-ups.
Pre-heat the broiler for 10 minutes prior to cooking.2.
Begin with a room temperature broiler pan for even cooking.3.
Use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove meats. Never 4.
pierce meat with a fork. The natural juices will escape.
Broil food on the first side for slightly more than half of the 5.
recommended time, then season and turn. Season the
second side just before removing.
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler grill. Excess 6.
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.
Common Baking Problems

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 TIM• E 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 will not pre-maturely brown foods.
WARNING
Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed
cooking modes. To avoid potential sickness and spoiling of food,
take the following steps:
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.
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.
Do not allow foods to remain in the oven more than one •
hour after completion of the cooking cycle. When the
temperaturedropsbelow140˚,bacteriacandevelop.

NOTE:
For 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.
Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast in delay •
timed cooking mode. These foods will not rise properly.
Using the Meat Probe
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 •
lessthan55˚F,youneedtowaittoinsertthemeatprobefor
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 1.
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.
Meat Probe
Insert the probe into the meat to the point marked by your 2.
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 loaf or casseroles, insert the •
probe into the center of the dish. When cooking fish,

Setting the Oven When Using the Temperature Probe:
Pre-heat the oven to the desired temperature.1.
Insert the meat probe into the food. (See 2. Probe Placement).
After the oven cell has reached the desired temperature, 3.
place the food into the oven.
Wearing an oven mitt, lift the meat probe connector cover 4.
in the oven and plug in the meat probe. The connector is
located on the left inside oven wall near the front of the oven.
Make sure the plug is pushed all the way in.
Close the oven door.5.
Press the 6. PROBE key. The display will flash “PRB” and beep
if the probe is not connected properly.
Adjust the temperature to the desired setting using the 7.
TIME • TEMPERATURE keys. A "jump-in" temperature of
160˚willappearwhentheTIME • 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

The oven will go into hold mode for 2 hours after the internal 9.
temperature of the food has reached the desired temperature
andwillholdtheoventemperatureat150˚F.Theresidual
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 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. 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 will beep and flash "PRB" until the probe
is unplugged. Unplugging the probe from the oven turns the
oven off.

FINISH. Dry the control panel completely with a soft, lint-free
cloth.
Porcelain Surfaces
The oven interior and inner door liners are finished in •
porcelain enamel. Clean these surfaces with a solution of
mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasives or commercial oven cleaners.
Always remove excess grease and soil from the oven interior
and door prior to using the self-cleaning cycle.
Brass, Chrome and Copper
Surfaces
Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and •
warm water. Rinse, dry and polish with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Brass, chrome, and copper finishes are protected with a clear •
coat enamel and should not be cleaned with metal polishes.
Broiler Pan and 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.
Door Handle/Control Housing
Clean the door handle and control panel housing with a •
solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with
a soft cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR
SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE
FINISH.
Door Glass

hot water. Use a mild glass cleaner to remove fingerprints or
smears. Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
On stainless steel ovens, the control panel, door(s) and •
exhaust grill are covered with stainless steel panels. Clean
these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm
water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
IMPORTANT:
If commercially available stainless steel cleaners are used, •
it is important to read the labels for chlorine compounds.
Chlorine is a corrosive substance. If these compounds are
present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain.•
Convection Filter
WARNING
Remove the filter only when it is cool.•
Remove the filter during self-cleaning. If the filter is left in •
the oven during self-cleaning it will permanently discolor.
Re-install the filter before cooking in the oven again. Failure
to do so will expose the convection fan blade that rotates at
high speed during convection modes.
The convection filter is made of stainless steel. Remove the •
filter regularly for cleaning. A clogged filter will reduce the
effectiveness of the convection cooking modes.
12
Convection Filter Removal
ca r e a n d cl e a n I n g
Soak the filter in hot soapy water. •
Dry the filter completely before re-installing. •
To re-install the filter, orient the two mounting tabs towards •
the rear, open end down. Hook the two mounting tabs over
the center horizontal bar.
Remove the broiler pan and grill, all cookware, utensils and 2.
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 will discolor due to the high
heat, but the filtering capabilities will not be affected.
Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp 3.
cloth. This will minimize smoke and increase the efficiency of
the self-clean cycle.
Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the 4.
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:
Convection Filter Installation
Self-Cleaning
WARNING
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.
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
temperaturesof850˚Ftoburnoffsoilanddeposits.Apowderash
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:
Clean soil from the oven front frame area and the oven door 1.
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.
Close the oven door completely.1.
Press the 2. SELF-CLEAN key. The oven will beep once,
“CLEAN” will flash, and “– –:– –” will be displayed.
Press the 3. TIME • TEMP + key and the default time of “2:00”
hours will be displayed.
Increase the self-clean time up to 4 hours (depending upon 4.
the amount of oven soil) by holding the TIME • TEMP + key.
To delay the self-clean start to a more convenient time, press 5.
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.
Approximately 30 to 60 seconds after selecting self-clean, the 6.
automatic door latch will lock the door. “LOCK” and “ON”
will appear in the clock display. The oven will 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 will 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
lockeduntiltheoventemperaturefallsbelow390˚F.

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
