Operating Your Oven
Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Your oven is equipped with a feature that allows you to calibrate the temperature inside the oven to match the display value without the help of a service technician. Due to various conditions, the actual temperature inside may vary somewhat from the displayed temperature. The setting may also vary from mode to mode.
To change the offset temperature:
1.Place an oven thermometer inside the oven.
2.Check the temperature variance by running the oven for one hour in each mode at 350°F (except broil mode). In broil the normal operating temperature is 555°F. Take note of the temperature variance in each mode.
3.With the oven off, press and hold the 0 and # keys on the number keypad at the same time. The oven will beep and “PASS” will appear on the display.
4.Enter 6428 on the number keypad, then START.
5.Press the cooking mode key for which you want to change the offset.
6.Enter an offset temperature value from 1 to 35°F (1 to 18 for ovens set to Celsius). Press the # key if you want the offset to be a negative
7.Press START.
8.Repeat the steps above for any other cooking modes you need to offset.
9.Press CANCEL to exit offset mode.
Cooking Tips
Food Placement
•Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack posi- tions #2 and #4 or #1 and #3. When baking on three racks, use rack positions #1, #3 and #5.
•Turn pans on the racks so that the long sides run left to right, as you face them.
•When you are cooking a food item that is very heavy, use the Dacor GlideRack oven rack. You can pull it out 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.
•If you put a baking stone on the GlideRack oven rack, instead of one of the standard oven racks, you can pull the stone out of the oven further, making pizza easier to remove.
