Operating Your Oven - The Basics - Dacor DISCOVERY EO Use And Care Manual

Operating Your Oven - The Basics

Before You Cook
• If you have not used the oven for an extended period
of time the display will go to "sleep". When the display
is sleeping, it is not lit. To wake the display (make it
reappear), press one of the keys on the control panel
or open the oven door.
• 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 usually takes 7 to 14 minutes to preheat the oven,
depending on the temperature settings. pre-heat
times may be longer depending on the type of elec-
trical 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 is called carry-over. The larger the portion
of food, the longer it will carry-over. 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.
Standard Racks
rearrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
How to Insert 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.

How to Remove 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 out. Lift-
ing the rack releases the safety notches. The safety
notches prevent the rack from coming out of the oven
accidentally.
Glide Racks™
Your oven comes with a Dacor Gliderack. You can pull the
Gliderack out further than the standard racks and still
support heavy pots and pans full of food. It is great for
heavier foods and the baking stone.
rearrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
How to Insert Your GlideRack
• hold the Gliderack with the guides fully extended
away from you (see diagram below).
• Align both sets of safety clips (right and left) on the
back of the guides with the oven rack supports as
shown in the diagram below.
• Begin to slide the rack in, lifting the front safety clips
over the front of the oven rack supports.
