Baking Tips
Wait until the shortest recommended baking
•
time before checking food. For cakes, a wooden
pick placed in the center should come clean
when the food is done.
Measure ingredients carefully and follow tested
•
recipes for best baking results.
To Broil:
Adjust the rack position based on the food thick-
1.
ness. Dacor recommends rack levels 4 or 5.
Turn the oven control (center) knob on the con-
2.
trol panel to the
BROIL
setting. The oven ON
indicator light will illuminate to indicate the oven
is on. Within 60 seconds, the burner (on the ceil-
ing) will ignite. While the broil burner is on, the
bake burner is off.
Immediately place the food inside the oven and
3.
close the door completely.
IMPORTANT:
Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide
•
drainage for excess fat and grease. Doing so will
reduce spatter, smoke, and flare-ups.
The igniter for the IR broil burner on the ceiling
•
of the oven will glow orange periodically during
normal broil operation.
