Dacor EpicureTM manual Multiple Rack Baking, Oven GlideRack, Delay Timed Cooking

Multiple Rack Baking

The uniform air circulation provided by Convection™ cooking enables the more 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

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

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.

Helpful Hints When Using Your Oven GlideRack™:

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

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˚F, bacteria can develop.

Setting the Oven for Delay Timed Cooking

To use Delay Timed Cooking, follow these steps:

1.	Position oven rack(s) at the proper
	height(s).
2.	Place the food onto the center of the oven
	rack(s).

Oven GlideRack™

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

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

Delay Timed Cooking

This function allows the user to start and finish a cooking cycle automatically. It is especially useful for preparing meals in advance, cooking while you are at work or play. Delay Timed Cooking can only be used with Standard Bake (ERD model only), Convection Bake, or Pure Convection modes. lt will not function in Broil mode.

WARNING:

Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed cooking modes. To avoid potential sickness and spoiling of food, take the following steps:

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.

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.	The oven can be set to start now or later
	in the day. To start cooking now, do not
	perform any more programming steps. After
	six seconds “PRE”, “ON” and “TIMED” will
	appear in the clock display, and the oven
	will begin heating. After the “COOK TIME”
	has expired, the clock will beep three
	times, and “Hold” will be displayed. The
	cooling fan will continue to run, depending
	upon the length and temperature of the
	cooking process.
6.	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”
