Baking Tips for Using Convection
•When using glass bakeware, only lower the temperature by 25 degrees (Most glass cookware manufacturers also recommend lowering the temperature 25 degrees when using their products. It only needs to be lowered once).
PAN PLACEMENT TIPS:
•When placing pans on oven racks, make sure the long side of the pans run left to right and are parallel with the oven door.
•When using Standard Bake or Convection Bake mode, allow 2 inches of space around all sides of the pan to allow the heat to rise.
•When using the Convection modes, remember to keep the pans forward and away from the convection filter. This posi- tioning ensures proper airflow throughout the oven chamber.
•Aluminum foil can be used on the oven racks to catch overspill and can also be used to cover foods during the baking process in any mode. DO NOT, however, line the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil. Remove foil, along with the oven racks, during

ERD30/ERD48/ERD60 COMPANION OVEN NOTES
The ERD48 includes a companion
Following are a few notes about cooking with this oven:
•Since the oven’s capacity is much smaller, you may find that cook times are much faster. Items cook faster in this oven as far as roasting and baking.
•Follow the same guidelines as the large oven on selecting baking modes for best results.
•The broiler in this oven is electric. The broiler pan sent with the oven will fit with the shortest end front to back. To center it correctly, push it all the way to the back.
•Position the broiler pan
•Broil times will increase slightly with the electric broiler. It is also best to preheat the electric broiler for about 10 minutes for best results.
•The companion oven also offers Convection Broil. This mode works great for fish and broiled vegetables. It sears the fish beautifully without having to flip it, and vegetables will also sear quickly.
•Thicker cuts of steak or poultry should be cooked on Standard Broil. This will prevent the food from searing rare.
•Dacor’s ACS18 cookie sheets or a commercial half sheet pan, measuring 12 x 18” will fit in the ERD48 companion oven.
ERD30/ERD60 NOTES:
•A commercial sized sheet pan, measuring 18 x 25” will fit in the large cell of an ERD36 & ERD48. This type of pan will not fit in an ERD30/ERD60. Dacor’s ACS30- 30” cookie sheets should be used.
•The BTU’s in the broiler of an ERD30/ERD60 is slightly less than the ERD36 & ERD48. Broil times will slightly increase because of this.
•Baking and roasting times may slightly decrease due to the smaller oven capacity also.
