Before Using the Oven...
•
Dacor recommends turning the oven on for one hour
at 500°F 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 oven is used.
•
When you use your oven to bake or roast, it preheats
automatically. The preheat cycle rapidly brings the
oven chamber up to the proper cooking temperature.
It takes several minutes to preheat the oven. Preheat
time depends on the temperature settings. 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 the meat rest after it comes out of the oven for 10
to 15 minutes before carving. Doing so will allow the
meat to retain its natural juices and make it easier to
carve.
