Basic Oven Operation

Important Things to Know Before 

Operation

•  Dacor recommends turning the ovens on for one hour 

at 500°F (260°C) to burn off any residual oils used 

during the manufacturing process. Any of these oils 

left on the inner parts can cause an undesirable smell 

the first few times the ovens are used.

•  When you use an oven in one of the convection, 

bake or roast modes, it preheats automatically. The 

preheat cycle rapidly brings the oven chamber up to 

the proper cooking temperature. Wait for the oven 

to finish preheating (

Insert Food

 appears on the 

display) before placing the food in the oven.

Excessive 

browning will occur if you put the food in the oven 

while it is preheating.

•  While an oven is preheating the actual oven tempera-

ture will appear on the display, next to the tempera-

ture setting.

It takes several minutes to preheat the 

oven. Preheat time depends on the temperature set-

tings. The time may be longer depending on the type 

of electrical supply in your community. There is no 

preheat cycle for any of the broil modes.

•  After you pull food out of the oven, it will continue to 

cook. This process is called “carry-over.” The larger 

the portion of food, the longer it will cook. It is best 

to let meat rest for 10 to 15 minutes after it comes 

out of the oven before carving. Doing so will allow the 

meat to retain its juices and make it easier to carve.

•  After you turn off an oven, the cooling fans may con-

tinue to run until the internal parts have cooled down.

•  Broil modes do not work with the meat probe con-

nected.

This unit has been tested and found to comply with 

the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to 

Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to 

provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-

ference in a residential installation. This unit gener

-

ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy 

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 

communications. However there is no guarantee that 

interference will not occur in a particular installation. 

If this unit does cause harmful interference to radio 

or television reception, which can be determined by 

turning the unit off and on, the user is encouraged to 

try to correct the interference by one or more of the 

following measures:

◊ 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

◊ 

Increase the distance between the unit and 

receiver.

◊ 

Connect the unit into an outlet or a circuit differ-

ent from that to which the receiver is connected.

Preset Temperature Settings

The oven has a suggested preset temperature setting for 

each of the cooking modes to reduce the need to always 

enter the temperature each time you cook. See the table 

below. You have the choice (in most cooking modes) of 

cooking at the preset cooking temperature or selecting a 

different one. See 

Starting the Oven
