Before You Cook...
• Dacor recommends turning the oven on for one hour
at 500°F to burn off any residual oils used during the
manufacturing process. Any of these oils left on the
inner parts can cause an undesirable smell the first
few times the oven is used.
• PRE-HEAT: 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 takes several minutes to pre-
heat the oven. Preheat time depends on the tempera-
ture settings. The time 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 process is called “carry-over.” The larger
the portion of food, the longer it will cook. 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.
CAUTION
Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain
on the oven’s surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain or pit.
