Operating the Oven
Before You 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.
Racks
You may use either rack type on any level.
WARNING
To reduce the chance of burns, position the oven racks
when the oven is cool. If you must reposition a rack when
the oven is hot, use potholders.

To Insert the Standard Oven Racks:
Insert the end of the rack with the safety notches into the oven
first.
Attach both sides of the rack to the rack supports in the oven
as shown in the diagram below.
Begin to slide the rack in, and then, lift up so that the safety
notches clear the ends of the rack supports.
Push the rack all the way in with both hands.

To Insert Your GlideRack Oven Rack:
Your oven comes with a Dacor GlideRack oven rack. You can pull
the GlideRack oven rack out further than the standard racks and
still support heavy pots and pans full of food. It is great for heavier
foods and the optional Dacor baking stone.
Hold the GlideRack oven rack with the guides fully extended
away from you (see the diagram below).
Align both sets of safety clips (right and left) on the back of the
guides with the oven rack supports as shown.
Begin to slide the rack in, lifting the front safety clips over the
front of the oven rack supports.
Push the rack all the way to the back.
Grasp the rack in the center of the front and pull. The rack
should come forward while the guides remain in place.

To Remove the Standard Oven Racks:
If you want to remove an oven rack, grasp it with both hands
and pull gently straight out toward you until it stops.
To remove the rack completely, lift the front of the rack up about
six inches and continue to pull it out. Lifting the rack releases
the safety notches. The safety notches reduce the chances of a
rack coming out of the oven accidentally.
