Partsof the Oven
[] Control Panel Your oven's control panel consists of keys and a display. Use the control panel to
control all the oven's features (sometimes called modes.)
[] Air Intake/Exhaust The oven draws air in through the intake slots to cool its internal parts. The air
Slots comes out through the exhaust slot at the bottom of the oven. Do not block or
cover the air intake or exhaust slots.
[] Meat Probe Connector When you use the meat probe, insert the skewer into the meat and plug the other
end into this connector. See the Using the Meat Probe section on page 17 for
proper operation. On double ovens, only the upper oven is equipped with a meat
probe connector.
[] Oven Lights There are two oven lights inside the oven chamber so that you can easily see the
food inside. Press the light key on the control panel to turn them on. The bulbs are
12 volt, 20 watt, halogen.
[] Rack Supports There are six sets of rack supports inside each oven chamber. They support the
adjustable oven racks. They are numbered from the bottom up.

[] Broil Elements The broil elements are located on the ceiling of the oven chamber. On some
models, they are hidden behind a glass panel. They are the source of top heat.

cooking process. The convection filter covers it.
[] Convection Element* The convection element heats the air that is blown into the oven chamber by the
convection fan during the convection cooking process. The convection filter covers
it.
[] Convection Filter* The convection filter covers the convection fan. It helps prevent the transfer of
taste from one food to another when you are cooking a whole meal. It also keeps
the oven cleaner and covers the moving fan blades for safety purposes.

total number of racks depends on the model.

4. Press CANCEL • SECURE. The control panel will go

Before Your Cook...
•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 juices and make it easier to carve.
• 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.
