Adjusting The Oven Temperature - Dacor MCS130B Use And Care Manual

2. Remove the broiler pan and grill, all
cookware, utensils and other loose items
from the oven chamber. Also, remove all
oven racks and the convection fan filter to
prevent them from permanently discoloring.
However, to clean stubborn particles in the
convection filter you may elect to simply
leave it in place during self-clean. The filter
will discolor due to the high heat, but this
will not harm the filtering capabilities
3. Wipe up excess grease and other food
spills with a damp cloth. This will minimize
smoke and increase the efficiency of the
Self-Clean cycle.
4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help
remove odors during the Self-Clean cycle.
IMPORTANT:
If racks are left in the oven during a Self-
Clean cycle, it will affect their ability to slide
in and out easily. 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 will slide more easily.
Follow these steps to Self-Clean the oven:
1. Complete all steps listed above for
preparing the oven for Self-Cleaning.
2. Close the oven door completely.
3. Press the "SELF-CLEAN" touch pad. The
oven will beep once, "CLEAN" will flash,
and "– –:– –" will be displayed.
4. Press the "TIME•TEMP" "+" pad and
the default time of "2:00" hours will be
displayed.
5. Increase the self-clean time up to 4 hours
(depending upon the amount of oven soil)
by holding the "TIME•TEMP" "+" pad.
6. To delay the self-clean start to a more
convenient time, press the "STOP TIME"
touch pad. Then, press the "TIME•TEMP"
"+" pad to set the time of day for the
cycle to be complete. "DELAY TIMED" will
appear in the clock display. The cycle can
be delayed up to 11 hours and 50 minutes.
7. Approximately 30 to 60 seconds after
selecting Self-Clean, the automatic door
latch will lock the door. "LOCK" and "ON"
will appear in the clock display. The oven
will begin heating. The "ON" indicator will
cycle on and off with the burner.
NOTE:
If Delay Timed mode has been set, the "ON"
display and the oven heat will not turn
on until the programmed time has been
reached.
IMPORTANT:
If the door is not closed completely, the
automatic door latch will not be able to
lock the door when the Self-Clean mode
is selected. In this case, "door" will flash
in the clock display. If this occurs, press
the "CANCEL•SECURE" pad and wait
approximately 1 minute. Repeat the Self-
Clean steps from the beginning, being
certain to close the door completely. Do
not try to force the door open after it is
locked, as the automatic latch can be
damaged. If you need to unlock the door,
turn off the Self-Clean cycle by pressing the
"CANCEL•SECURE" pad. After approximately
1 minute, "LOCK" will disappear from the
clock display, and the door will unlock.
The door will remain locked until the oven
temperature falls below 390˚F. Do not select
any cooking function until the oven door is
unlocked.
8. About 50 to 60 minutes will be required
for the oven to reach the Self-Clean
temperature of 850˚F.
9. The Self-Clean cycle can be stopped at
any time by pressing "CANCEL•SECURE."
10. After completion of the Self-Clean cycle,
the oven will stop heating and the "ON"
and "CLEAN" indicators will disappear
from the clock display. Press the
"CANCEL•SECURE" pad.
11. After the interior oven temperature falls
below 390˚F, the door latch will release
and "LOCK" will disappear from the clock
display. The door can now be opened.
12. Open the door. After ensuring that the
oven has cooled sufficiently to be safe, use
a damp cloth or sponge to wipe out the
powder residue found in the bottom of the
oven. If white spots remain in the oven,
remove them with a non-scratch scouring
pad before using the oven again. These
spots are normally salt that cannot be
removed by a Self-Clean cycle.
13. Re-install the oven racks and convection
fan filter before cooking in the oven.
Clock Display in Self-Cleaning Mode
IMPORTANT:
With the oven at room temperature, if the
Self-Clean mode is accidentally selected and
the oven enters Self-Clean mode (indicated
by "LOCK" and "ON" in the clock display),
the user must cancel out of this mode before
attempting to select a different mode. To
cancel, press the "CANCEL•SECURE" pad.
Wait at least 60 seconds before attempting to
select another mode. This allows the door
latch time to unlock.
SELF-CLEANING TIPS:
1. If any soil remains in the oven after
completion of a Self-Cleaning cycle, repeat
the cycle if desired. Increase the cleaning
time during future cycles.
2. Clean the oven regularly to prevent
excessive soil build-up. This will increase
the efficiency of the Self-Clean cycle and
reduce the amount of smoke and odors
generated.

3. Self-Clean in the cooler evening hours after
cooking is complete and when electricity
rates are lower.
4. In the double oven, if one oven is in
the Self-Clean mode the other oven is
inoperable.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

IMPORTANT:
The user may find the temperature in their
new oven to be different from that of their
previously-owned appliance. Familiarity
with the old appliance sometimes makes it
difficult to get used to a new oven. If you feel
that the oven temperature is consistently
high or low, the temperature of the new oven
can be adjusted. The adjustment needs to be
done only once.
The oven temperature may be adjusted
(calibrated) by following these steps:
1. Press "BAKE" selector pad.
2. Press the "TIME•TEMP" "+" pad to set a
temperature of 500˚F or higher.
3. Press and hold the "BAKE" selector
pad. After approximately 5 seconds the
temperature display is replaced by "00".
The "BAKE" pad can now be released. The
calibration mode has been accessed.
4. Press the "TIME•TEMP" "+" or "–" pad to
set the amount of temperature adjustment.
The temperature can be changed a
maximum of 35˚F higher or lower. Set
the adjustment to positive (+) numbers
to increase the oven temperature; set
the adjustment to negative (–) numbers
to reduce the oven temperature.
Temperatures can be adjusted in
increments of 5˚F.
5. After setting the desired temperature
adjustment, press the "CANCEL•SECURE"
pad to exit the calibration mode and to
reset the clock display.
Clock Display When Adjusting (Calibrating) the Oven
Temperature
NOTES:
1. If "CANCEL•SECURE" is not pressed
after setting the adjustment, the clock
display will automatically reset in 6
seconds.
2. The amount of temperature adjustment
may be changed again by repeating
the calibration procedure. The oven
will only retain the amount of the most
recent temperature adjustment.
3. The temperature adjustment is not
affected by an electrical power failure
4. The temperature adjustment only
affects Standard Bake and Convection
Bake modes. Broil and Self-Clean
temperatures cannot be adjusted.
