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 juices and make it easier to carve. • Dacor recommends turning the oven at 500°F to burn off any residual oils manufacturing process.

Use the timers to determine baking time. Uses only a heat source from below the food. This mode is the stand-by, non-convection mode. All baked items will turn out nicely in this mode. Baking Use the lowest rack position. Wait until the shortest recommended baking time before checking the food. For most baked goods, a wooden toothpick placed in the center should come clean when the food is done. Tips • Follow your recipe's original cooking time and temperature. • Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. Look through the oven door window to check the Cookies burn on the bottom, Oven door opened too often. Set timer to shortest recommended cooking time and check food when timer beeps.

Set the timer 15 minutes before the shortest stated time and add more time if necessary. For Pure Convection and Convection modes: • Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack positions #1 and #3 or #2 and #4 (counting from the bottom up). ° When adapting a single rack recipe to multiple rack baking, it may be necessary to add to the baking time due to the extra bulk of the food in the oven. Bake Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection baking. If you are unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe using the standard Bake settings. After achieving acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines in the Dacor cooking guide. If the food is not cooked to your satisfaction during this first convection trial, adjust one recipe variable at a time (such as cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the convection test. If necessary, continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time until you get satisfactory results. Pure Convection The uniform air circulation provided by Pure Convection allows you to use more oven capacity at once. Use this mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting, and preparation of complete meals. Many foods, such as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls and frozen convenience foods can be successfully prepared on two or three racks at a time. Pure Convection is also good for whole roasted duck, lamb shoulder and short leg of lamb. Convection Bake sssj Use this mode for single rack baking. The combination of the convection fan and bottom heat source is best for fruit crisps, custard pies, double-crusted fruit pies, quiches, yeast breads in a loaf pan and popovers. Also, items baked in a deep ceramic dish or earthenware clay pots are best in this mode. Most of these items cook in a deep pan and require browning on the top and bottom. AIR FLOW Continued... 13 Understanding the Various Oven Modes (Continued) Your Convection Roast Your oven's Convection Roast mode uses a combination of the convection fan and heat sources above and below the food. It is best for rib roasts, turkeys, chickens, etc. Roasting oven offers • Broil • Convection Broil two broil modes: WARNING Tips , All baking modes can be used to successfully roast in your oven. To avoid the damageto the meat probe, remove it from oven When using either of the broi_modesl it can be damaged by temperatures above 450 F. If the meat piobe is connected the broi! modes will not start.The meat probe symbol wi!! flash Whenyou attempt to start the oven in one However, the Convection Roast mode is recommended to produce meats that are deliciously seared on the outside and succulently juicy on the inside in record time. Foods that are exceptional, when prepared in the Convection Roast mode, include: beef, pork, ham, lamb, turkey, chicken and cornish hens. Ofthe broil modes with the meat probe connected. Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and fish. Always roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan, using a roasting rack. Always use a pan that fits the size of the food being prepared. The broiler pan and grill, accompanying the oven, can be used in most cases. No basting is required when the fat side is up. Do not add water to the pan. It will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry heat process. Broil sss-Uses a top heat source. It is best for broiling smaller amounts of food. Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan that fits the size of the food. Again, the broiler pan and grill accompanying the oven can be used. Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine or oil before and during roasting. Convection Broil This mode uses a combination of the convection fan and a top heat source. It is best for items that do not need to be flipped such as, thinner cuts of meat, fish and garlic bread. When using the roast mode, do not use pans with tall sides. They interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food. Broiling Tips If using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. For poultry, insert the thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh. To ensure an accurate reading, the tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat, or gristle. Check the meat temperature 2/3 of the way through the recommended roasting time. After reading the meat thermometer once, insert it 1/2inch further into the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature registers below the first, continue cooking the meat. Remove meats from the oven when the thermometer registers 5 to 10°F below the desired temperature. The meat will continue to carry-over. • It is normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor. • Setting the timer is recommended process. • Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage for excess fat and grease. Doing so will reduce spatter, smoke and flare-ups. • Start with a room temperature cooking. • Use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove meats. Never pierce meat with a fork because the natural juices will escape. • Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in order to make carving easier. to time the broiling broiler pan for even Broil food on the first side for a little more than half of the recommended time, then season and turn. Season the second side just before removing the food from the oven. Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape and quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in Bake mode and may require moist cooking techniques. Use your favorite cookbook recipes. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler grill. Excess grease will result in heavy smoke. For easier cleaning, remove the broiler pan and grill when removing the food. Reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil. 14 Timers Delay Timed Cooking Features If you want to set the oven to automatically turn itself on or off at a later time, you can use the delay timed features. Things to Know About Delay Timed Cooking: • The delay timed options work for all of the various cook modes, except Broil and Convection Broil.

Wash and remove excess moisture from all fruits and vegetables before dehydrating. 2. Cut fruits and vegetables 3. You can add honey, spices, lime juice, or orange juice to give the fruit a different flavor. You should water blanch items with tough grapes, prunes, dark plums, cherries, figs of berries. Water blanching these types of the skins so that moisture can escape and can be done more effectively. 4. It is best to dehydrate on a baking rack with a pan underneath to catch any juices. If the fruit is small, use cheesecloth over the rack. If you use a rack, it will allow for maximum air circulation around the fruit. into uniform pieces. To water The cheesecloth will prevent the fruit from sticking to the rack. 5. Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in a 4 quart sauce pot. 2. Drop the fruit in the water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the skin begins to crack. 3. Remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and dab dry with a paper towel before dehydrating. The pit can be left inside or removed half way through the dehydrating process. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack. Defrosting Tips To prevent darkening during dehydration and storage, you should steam blanch apples, apricots, peaches, nectarines, pears or foods that will oxidize. To steam • blanch: 1. Add 1 inch of water to a 4 quart sauce pot. Insert the steam basket and place the fruit in it. 2. Cover the pot and steam for 1 to 2 minutes. 3. Remove with a slotted spoon and dab with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before dehydrating. Food that takes an exceptional amount of time to defrost will not defrost well in a convection oven. You should not defrost anything that would normally take over 2 hours to thaw. The food will begin to spoil because the defrost temperature is not high enough to cook the food. Apples, pears, pineapples and some other fruits will brown or darken during dehydration. To prevent discoloration, dip fruits in pineapple juice or lemon juice after steam blanching. Creating a Candied blanch: 1. Solving Discoloration Problems: • skins such as and some types fruit will crack dehydration • If you have a partially defrosted turkey, rib roast or other large cut of meat, you may continue to defrost it in your convection oven. If wing tips and legs begin to dry out when you defrost poultry, you may wrap the tips with aluminum foil. • If you are defrosting a small cut of meat, lay it on a flat cookie sheet with a 1-inch rim to catch juices as the meat thaws. • Thick, frozen casseroles such as lasagna will not defrost well in your oven. Instead, defrost according to the food manufacturer's suggestions. You can defrost casseroles in the refrigerator overnight. You should leave the food in its original container and keep it covered. • You can bake some foods from frozen. Some examples are: pizza, frozen pastries, croissants, cookies, etc. Before baking frozen food, allow the oven to preheat. Effect To give the fruit a candied effect and to help retain color, blanch them in a simple syrup. You can candy the fruits mentioned above as well as figs and plums. The basic ratio for a simple syrup is 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water. Add these ingredients to a 4 quart stock pot and bring to a boil. Stir until all the sugar dissolves. Remove the saucepan from the cooktop and allow it to cool. Dip fruit into the simple syrup after it has cooled. lg Setting Up the Sabbath Feature Proofing You can use your oven to proof Feasted doughs at a low a and draft-free temperature using the Bake mode. 1.

Food Placement • Typically, when baking on two racks, use rack positions #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. 21 Press START, Repeat the steps above for any other cooking modes you need to offset. Press CANCEL to exit offset mode. The Best Use of Bake Ware High Altitude Cooking You should bake cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid old, darkened, warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans. Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. Therefore, recipe adjustments should be made in some cases. In general, no recipe adjustment is necessary for yeast-risen baked goods, although allowing the dough or batter to rise twice before the final pan rising develops a better flavor. Try making the adjustments below for successful recipes. Take note of the changes that work best and mark your recipes accordingly. You may also consult a cookbook on high altitude cooking for specific recommendations. They heat unevenly and will not give good baking results. Use medium gauge aluminum sheets with low sides when preparing cookies, biscuits and cream puffs. Dacor cookie sheets, with their low profiles, will give you the best results. Bake most frozen foods in their original foil containers, placed fiat on a cookie sheet. Follow the package recommendations. • • When using glass bake ware, reduce the recipe temperature by 25°I:, except when baking pies or yeast breads. Follow the standard recipe baking time for pies and yeast breads.

Your Oven's Self-Clean Feature CAUTION Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket: Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door sea! required for proper cooking and se!f-cleaning: About the Self-Clean Cycle • Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.), the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from the oven chamber. See page 25 for filter cleaning instructions. The oven will run better and produce better baked goods when it is clean. During self-cleaning, the oven is heated to very high temperatures which burn off any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. Selfcleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. The self-clean process takes about 2 to 4 hours. It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the first few self-clean cycles. It is also normal for the oven to emit popping sounds during self-cleaning. These sounds are caused by the expansion and contraction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and cools down. Self-Clean mode will not function if the meat probe is connected. 4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the Self-Clean cycle. 5. Make sure the oven door is shut. 6. Press the SELF CLEAN key. 7. Press the DURATION key, then the 2, 3 or 4 key to select the number of hours of self-clean time (2-light, 3-medium and 4-heavy).

Do not scrub it or it will become damaged. filter: When the oven is cool, put your fingers around the edges of the filter and gently push up. Oven Racks To clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. When you need to clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. You may also use a solution of one cup of ammonia to 2 gallons of water. If you accidentally leave the racks in the oven during self-cleaning, you can polish them to make them easier to slide. Polish the rack edges with a soapy steel wool pad. Then apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the edges so that the racks slide more easily. Be aware that polishing will not completely remove the discoloration. 25 Meat Probe Optional Baking Stone Wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub it clean before you use it for the first time. Do not use any soap or detergents to wash the stone. The stone is porous and soap will get trapped inside. The trapped soap will affect the flavor of the food cooked on it. Don't be alarmed if the stone gets stains on it after it is used for a while. Stains do not affect the stone's ability to bake properly. The meat probe is constructed of silicone handles, a wire, a plug and a stainless steel skewer. To clean the skewer, use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water. When you clean the handles, wipe them with a soft sponge soaked with a solution of detergent and warm water. When you need to remove large food particles from the baking stone, use warm water and a scrub brush. If there is a lot of oil build-up, it may smoke and create odors. If you need to remove the oily build up, use a scouring pad or brush to remove it. You may also use a paste of baking soda and water to scrub off small stains. Optional Cookie Sheets Clean the optional aluminum cookie sheets with a solution of detergent and warm water, Since aluminum can scratch, you need to use the soft side of a sponge. A way for you to keep cookie sheets cleaner is to use parchment paper over the cooking surface during baking. The parchment paper will also prevent food from sticking. Broil Pan Your broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. If your broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad with plenty of water.
