Standard Racks

WARNING:
Rearrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.

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 6 inches and
continue to pull out. Lifting the rack releases the safety notches.
The safety notches prevent the rack from coming out of the oven
accidentally.

GlideRacks™

WARNING:
Rearrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
Your oven comes with a Dacor
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.
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.
• Push the rack all the way to the back.

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 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 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.
