If you want to set the oven to automatically turn itself on or off at a later time or day, you can use the
delay options feature. The delay options work for all of the various cook modes (except broil) and special
features, including Dacor
Delay/Timed Cooking Options
You can set the delay/timed cooking options to:
Start the oven immediately and turn it off at a certain time of day (stop time).
Start the oven immediately and turn it off after a set amount of time (duration time).
Start the oven at a later time (delay start) and turn it off at a certain time of day (stop time).
Start the oven at a later time (delay start) and turn it off after a set amount of time (duration time).
Start the oven at a later time (delay start) with no turn off time.
For the self-clean feature only: You may only use the delay options feature to set the start time and
day for the self-clean feature. You cannot change the stop time or duration of the self-clean cycle. The
duration time for self-cleaning is set automatically when you pick light, medium, or heavy cleaning.
WARNING: Food safety is an important consideration when using the delay options feature. To avoid
potential sickness and the spoiling of food, take the following steps:
•
Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the oven to start cooking. Typical foods to avoid
include: those containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups, and cooked or uncooked meats,
poultry, and fish.
• If cooking will not begin immediately, place only very cold or frozen food into the oven. Most unfro-
zen foods should never stand in the oven for more than 2 hours before cooking begins.
• Do not allow foods to remain in the oven after completion of the hold cycle. The hold cycle automati-
cally starts at the conclusion of timed cooking and keeps your food at 150°F for 2 hours ("HOLD"
appears on the screen). When the temperature drops below 140˚F, bacteria can develop.
NOTE: You may use the timers while using the delay options feature. The timers do not have an effect
on any of the delay options settings.
