General Safety Precautions  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your range, follow basic safety precautions,  
including the following:  
danger  
warning  
IMPORTANT: To avoid the possibility of explosion  
or fire, do not store or use combustible, flammable  
or explosive vapors and liquids (such as gasoline)  
inside or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.  
Also keep items that could explode, such as aerosol  
cans away from the cooktop and oven. Do not store  
flammable or explosive materials in adjacent cabinets  
or areas.  
Do not store flammable items in the oven on the  
cooktop.  
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.  
Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects  
over the range. If the range is near a window, do  
not use long curtains as window treatment. The  
curtains could blow over the cooktop and create a  
fire hazard.  
When deep fat frying:  
Be certain thathe pan is large enough to  
contain the ed volume of food without  
overflow the bubbling of the fat.  
Never t fryer unattended.

according to the accompanying installation  
instructions. Have the installer show you the  
location of the circuit breaker panel or fuse box so  
that you know where and how to turn off power to  
the range.

Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check  
the manufacturer’s recommendations before use  
to determine if a utensil is suitable for use on  
a cooktop or in an oven. Certain types of glass,  
ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use  
on a cooktop. Personal injury or damage may result  
from the improper use of cookware.  
Never allow anyone, includin
or climb on any part of the
door. Doing so may causrious  
injury or death.  
CAUTION - Do not store itemt to  
children in cabinets above the r on the  
backguard of the range. Children mbing on the  
range to reach items could be seriously injured.  
Glazed cookware not designed for high heat use  
may crack or break, causing a spill or burn hazard.  
Before using glazed cookware, such as glass,  
ceramic or earthenware, check the manufacturer’s  
temperature and usage recommendations.  
Do not tamper with the controls.  
Do not operate the cooktop without the knobs and  
trim rings in place.  
Do not allow pans to boil dry.  
Never leave cooktop elements unattended at high  
heat settings. Boil-over causes smoking and greasy  
spill-overs that may ignite.  
This appliance is equipped with heating elements of  
different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms  
large enough to cover the heating element. The use  
of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the  
heating element to direct contact and may result in  
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to  
element will also improve efficiency.  
Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to  
removing them for cleaning.  
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,  
plastic, cloth (including potholders) away from hot  
surfaces. Do not place such items in the oven.  
Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let  
hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching  
into the oven.  
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel when  
using the range. Do not allow clothing to come  
into contact with the cooktop, oven interior or  
surrounding areas during and immediately after  
use.  
Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a  
hot cooktop or in the oven. The steam can cause  
serious burns or scalds.

are finished cooking.  
1. Clean the glass cooking surface with Dacor Cooktop  
Cleaning Creme (see page 27) before using it for  
the first time.  
2. The cooktop is cleaned with solvents at the factory to  
remove remaining oil and grease from the manufac-  
turing process. Any remaining solvent may cause a  
slight odor during the first several uses.

Cooktop Tips  
For superior cooking performany:  
Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use can-  
ners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in  
enamelware) because they don’t make good contact  
with the cooktop surface and take a long time to boil  
water.  
Reduce the heat setting to ces-  
sary to perform the desirood  
cooks just as quickly at a ges at a  
vigorous, rolling boil. A highenecessary  
wastes energy, cooks away moind causes a  
loss in food flavor and nutrients.  
When canning, use recipes and procedures from  
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are  
available from the manufacturer of your canner, man-  
ufacturers of glass jars for canning, and the United  
States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.  
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking  
times.  
Use a timer rather than repeatedly removing the lid to  
check food. Doing so will decrease cooking time and  
save energy.  
Thaw foods prior to cooking to reduce cooking time.

straight out toward you until it stops.  
Your oven comes with Dacor’s deluxe GlideRack oven  
racks. You can pull them out further than other types of  
oven racks and still support heavy pots and pans full of  
food. They are great for heavier foods and the optional  
Dacor baking stone.  
Lift up until the front safety clips just clear the front  
of the rack supports on the oven. Continue to pull out.  
Moving the end of the rack back and forth slightly, left  
to right, as you pull, will make it easier to remove.  
to install an oven rack:  
1. Align both sets of safety clips (right and left) on the  
back of the rack guides with the oven rack supports as  
shown below. NOTE: The diagram below shows instal-  
lation with the rack guides extended but, the rack  
may be installed with or without the guides extended,  
whichever is easier.

Understanding the Various Oven  
Cooking Modes  
The three basic styles of cooking in an oven:  
BAKING - The gentle cooking of dry goods such as  
cookies, cakes, soufflés, etc.  
ROASTING - The cooking of meats or vegetables  
over a period of time.  
BROILING - Cooking with an intense heat for
amount of time.

Multiple rack baking in pure convection Mode  
Your range offers three convection cooking  
modes:  
Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack posi-  
tions #1 and #3 or #2 and #4 (counting from the  
bottom up) for best results. When cooking a full meal,  
use rack positions #1, #3 and #5 for best results.  
Pure Convection  
Convection Bake  
Convection Roast  
When adapting a single rack recipe to multiple rack  
baking, it may be necessary to add to the baking time  
due to the extra bulk of the food in the oven.  
As a general rule, in the convection modes, the cook-  
ing time is about 25% shorter. Set the timer 15 minutes  
before the shortest stated time and add more time if  
necessary.  
For pure convection and convection bake Modes:  
Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may  
require adjustment and testing when converting from  
standard 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  
in standard bake mode, adjust the convection cooking  
times according to the guidelines above. 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 con-  
vection test. If necessary, continue adjusting one recipe  
variable at a time until you get satisfactory results.

nvection Bake  
Use this mode for single rack baking. The combination of  
the convection fan and bottom heat source 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. Most of these items cook in a deep pan  
and require browning on the top and bottom.

Operating the Oven  
Convection Roast  
Your range offers two broil modes:  
Your range’s convection roast mode uses a combination of  
the convection fan and heat sources above and below the  
food. It is best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens, etc.  
Broil  
Convection Broil  
Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many  
foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and  
fish.  
roasting tips  
All baking modes can be used to successfully roast  
in your oven. However, the convection roast mode is  
recommended to produce meats that are deliciously  
seared on the outside and succulently juicy on the  
inside in record time. Foods that are exceptional,  
when prepared in the convection roast mode, include:  
beef, pork, ham, lamb, turkey, chicken and cornish  
hens.  
warning  
To avoid burns, keep the oven door completely shut  
when using the broil modes.  
To avoid damage to the meat probe, remove it from  
the oven when using either of the broil modes.  
Always roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan, using  
a roasting rack. Always use a pan that fits the size of  
the food being prepared. No basting is required when  
the fat side is up. Do not add water to the pan. It will  
cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry heat pro-  
cess.

Roasting times always vary accordg to the size,  
shape and quality of meats and poultry. Less tender  
cuts of meat are best prepared in bake mode and may  
require moist cooking techniques. Follow your favorite  
cookbook recipes.  
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.  
Reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting  
pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

Using the Meat Probe  
occur if the meat is placed in the oven during preheat  
mode (when “PRE-” appears on the display).  
When you cook foods like roasts and poultry, the internal  
temperature is the best way to tell when the food is prop-  
erly cooked. Your oven’s meat probe 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 probe can  
be set from 100°F to 200°F.

Creating a Candied Effect  
To give fruit a candied effect and to help retain color,  
blanch them in a simple syrup. You can candy the fruits  
mentioned above as well as figs and plums. The basic  
ratio for a simple syrup is one cup of sugar to one cup of  
water. Add these ingredients to a four quart stock pot and  
bring to a boil. Stir until all the sugar dissolves. Remove  
the saucepan from the cooktop and allow it to cool. Dip

Defrosting Tips  
Food that takes an exceptional amount of time to  
defrost will not defrost well in a convection oven.  
Sabbath mode will not work with the meat probe  
You should not defrost anything that would normally  
take over two hours to thaw. The food will begin to  
spoil because the defrost temperature is not high  
enough to cook the food.  
connected (the meat probe symbol will flash).  
Delay-timed cooking cannot be used in Sabbath  
mode.  
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.  
In the event of a power outage, the oven will return  
to Sabbath mode at the temperature it was last set  
to when power is restored.  
If one or both timers are running, the oven cancels  
timer operation when Sabbath mode is selected.  
If you are defrosting a small cut of meat, lay it on a  
flat cookie sheet with a one inch rim to catch juices as  
the meat thaws.  
You may want to use a rack thermometer to keep  
track of the oven temperature.

Cooking Tips  
Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe  
for best results.  
Food Placement  
NOTE: The rack positions mentioned below are counting  
For roasting, Dacor’s optional “V” shaped rack and  
broil/roast pan works best to allow air circulation  
around the food. Dacor’s roasting pan works particu-  
larly well and two of them will fit side by side in a  
30-inch oven. The kit also comes with a grill that fits  
inside the pan to cook flat cuts of meat.  
from the bottom up.  
For best results when baking on two racks, use rack  
positions #2 and #4 or #1 and #3 with the oven set  
to Pure Convection or convection bake mode. For best  
results when baking on three racks, use rack positions  
#1, #3 and #5 with the oven set to Pure Convection  
mode.  
Turn pans on the racks so that the long sides run left  
to right, as you face them.  
Your Dacor GliderRack oven racks are good for cook-  
ing heavy food items. You can pull them out further  
than standard racks, 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 the optional Dacor baking stone, use rack  
position #1 for best results.

Altitude Cooking  
e to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher alti-  
udes, 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 adjustments below for successful recipes. Take  
note of the changes that work best and mark your reci-  
pes accordingly. You may also consult a cookbook on high  
altitude cooking for specific recommendations.

Care and Cleaning  
Your Oven’s Self Clean Feature  
About the Self Clean Cycle  
warning  
Clean only the parts of the range listed in this  
manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.  
The oven will run better and produce better baked  
goods when it is clean. During self cleaning, the oven  
is heated to very high temperatures which burn off  
any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. Self cleaning  
eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior  
surfaces. The self clean process takes about three  
hours.  
To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your  
range’s surfaces and accessories, use only the types  
of cleaning solutions specified in this manual. Some  
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a  
hot surface.  
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or  
cloth is used to up wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be  
careful to avoid steam burns.  
It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the  
first few self clean cycles. It is also normal for the  
oven to emit popping sounds during self cleaning.  
These sounds are caused by the expansion and con-  
traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and  
cools down.  
To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or  
corrosive cleaners or applicators such as steel wool  
or scouring pads, on any part of the range unless  
instructed to do so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth,  
fibrous or plastic brush or nylon cleaning pad for  
cleaning the surfaces of your range.  
Self clean mode not function if the meat probe is  
connected.  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range.  
Steam could penetrate the electrical components  
and cause a short circuit.

cycle. Doing so will minimize smoke and increase  
efficiency. See the proper cleaning instructions on  
this page.

6. Press the SELF CLEAN key, then press START.  
The control panel automatically locks the oven door  
during self cleaning. The latch prevents the door from  
being opened since the high interior oven temperatures  
can easily cause injury. If the door is not shut, an error  
message will appear on the display. To correct the prob-  
lem, press CANCEL·SECURE and wait approximately one  
minute, then close the door. When the door is properly

Cleaning the Cooktop Glass  
The door latch will release when the inside has cooled  
down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON” will disap-  
pear from the display. Exercise caution because the  
oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the  
door lock is released.  
warning  
Be sure all surfaces are cool before cleaning the  
cooktop.  
Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before  
using your oven.  
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while  
the surface is hot. The resulting fumes can be  
hazardous. Heating the cleaner can also chemically  
attack and damage the surface. Use only the  
included razor blade scraper when the cooking  
surface is hot.  
You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom  
of the oven after self cleaning. This is normal. Use a  
damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the  
oven cools down.  
Clean the cooking surface daily. The cooking surface must  
be completely cool during cleaning, except when using the  
included razor blade scraper. Use the razor blade scraper  
to remove dryed sugar, sugar syrups, tomato products  
and milk.  
Self Cleaning Tips  
If any soil remains in the oven after the self clean  
cycle is done, you may repeat the cycle if you want.  
Self clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil  
build-up. Doing so will make the self clean cycle work  
better and reduce smoke and odors.

Using Dacor Cooktop Cleaning Creme  
If the oven is in the middle of the self clean process,  
the door will unlock when the oven has cooled down  
enough to open safely. The oven will still be hot  
(about 400 °F).  
Apply (only) a small amount of Dacor Cooktop Cleaning  
Creme on a daily basis. It provides a protective film that  
makes it easy to remove water spots or food spatters. The  
temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective  
qualities of this cleaner over time. It must be reapplied  
before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply cooktop  
cleaning crème to remove dust or metal marks that can  
occur on the counter level surface between uses.

Care and Cleaning  
to replace a light bulb, follow these steps:  
Cleaning the Oven Interior (cont.)  
Optional Cookie Sheets  
Clean the optional aluminum cookie sheets with a solu-  
tion 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 parch-  
ment paper will also prevent food from sticking.  
1. Turn off power to the range at the circuit breaker  
panel or fuse box.  
2. Hold your hand under the lens for support and gently  
pry it loose using a spatula or table knife. Pull the lens  
cover straight out.  
3. Grasp the old bulb and pull it straight out of the  
socket.  
4. Using a glove, insert the new bulb into the socket.  
Optional Baking Stone  
5. As you reinstall the lens cover, line up the cutout on  
the inside rim with the light socket. Gently press it  
into its original position.  
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 it. The stone is porous and  
soap will get trapped inside. The trapped soap will affect  
the flavor of the food cooked on it. Do not 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.  
6. Turn the power to the range back on. Reset the clock  
(see page 9).  
Light fixture  
in oven wall  
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 off small stains.
