Operating Your Oven

Starting Your Oven

1.Adjust the racks to the appropriate level.

2.Determine the best cooking mode for the type of food to be cooked.

Select from the following...

•CONVECTION BAKE - A combination of the

convection fan and a bottom heat source. Good for single rack items in a deep pan.

• CONVECTION BROIL - A combination of the convection fan and a top heat source. Good for items that do not need to be flipped, such as thinner cuts of meat, fish, and garlic bread.

• PURE CONVECTION™ - Uses convection cook- ing only for even heat. Use for baked goods and multiple rack cooking.

• BAKE - Cooks with a bottom heat source only. Commonly used for basic recipes.

•BROIL - Cooks using a top heat source alone. Use for grilling smaller cuts of meat or toasting bread.

•CONVECTION ROAST - Combines top and

bottom heat sources with the convection

fan. Best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens, etc.

important

The broil modes will not work when the meat probe is connected.

See pages 12 to 14 for detailed descriptions of the various cooking modes.

1.Press the key for the desired cooking mode. The preset (jump-in) temperature will appear on the dis- play along with the symbol(s) for the selected cook- ing mode (see above). On double ovens, select the desired oven by pressing the cooking mode key under UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN on the control panel.

2.To cook at the preset temperature, press START. To cook at a different temperature enter it (for example

4-2-5) on the number keypad, then press START. You can enter any temperature between 100°F and 555°F. The suggested broil temperature is 555°F. Double ovens have only one START key, on the left side of the control panel. Use it to start both ovens.

3.If you are using Pure Convection or one of the bake or roast modes, “PRE-” for preheating, along with the current oven temperature will appear on the display until the oven reaches the set temperature. Once the oven reaches the set temperature (usually in 15 to 20 minutes), it will beep and “PRE-” will disappear. Care- fully place your food in the oven. Excessive browning will occur if you put the food in too soon.

Turning Off Your Oven

To turn the oven off, press the CANCEL · SECURE key. On double ovens, press the CANCEL · SECURE key under UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

note

After you turn off the oven, the cooling fans may continue to run until the oven’s internal parts have cooled down.

Changing the Temperature

To change to a different temperature while the oven is on:

1.Press the key for the current cooking mode. The cur- rent cooking mode appears on the display (for exam- ple BAKE).

2.Enter the temperature on the keypad (for example 3-7-5) and press START.

important

If you increase the temperature by 50°F or more, the oven will go into preheat mode to raise the temperature rapidly to the new setting. “PRE-” will appear on the display. To prevent excessive browning Dacor recom- mends that you remove the food from the oven when “PRE-” appears on the display.

Changing the Oven Cooking Mode

To change to a different cooking mode while the oven is on, for example to change from Convection Bake to Bake:

1.Press the key for the new cooking mode, for example BAKE.

2.Press START.

Preset (Jump-in) Temperature Settings

Your oven has a preset “jump-in” temperature setting for each of the cooking modes to reduce the need to always enter the temperature. See the table below. See Starting Your Oven for directions on how to cook at the preset temperature.

Cooking Mode	Preset Temperature
Bake	350°F
Convection Bake	325°F
Pure Convection	325°F
Convection Roast	375°F
Broil	555°F
