Replacing the Light Bulbs

•  To prevent electrical shock and/or personal injury, make 

certain that the oven and light bulb(s) are cool and that 

power to the oven has been turned off at the main power 

supply before replacing the light bulb(s).

•  Always make sure the lens covers are in place when using 

the oven. The lens covers protect the bulbs from breakage.

•  Replacing the lens cover without lining up the cutout with 

the light socket will damage the light fixture.

•  Do not use a screwdriver to remove the lens cover.

Light bulb replacement is considered to be a homeowner mainte-

nance operation. If the lights do not work, before replacing them, 

please consult the Problem Solution Guide on page 30.
IMPORTANT: Do not touch the replacement halogen light bulb 

with your fingers. Halogen bulbs are sensitive to the oils from 

your hand. The oils from your hand will stick to the bulb and may 

cause it to burn out faster than normal.

1.  Replace the light bulb only with Dacor part number 100429. 

See page 32 for ordering information.

2.  Turn off power to the range at the circuit breaker panel or 

fuse box.

3.  Hold your hand under the lens for support and gently pry 

it loose using a spatula or table knife. Pull the lens cover 

straight out.

4.  Grasp the old bulb and pull it straight out of the socket.
5.  Using a glove, insert the new bulb into the socket.
6.  As you reinstall the lens cover, line up the cutout on the 

inside rim with the light socket. Gently press it into its origi-

nal position.

7.  Turn the power to the range back on. Reset the clock (see 

page 10).

Adjusting the Oven Temperature 

Control

Even though your oven is adjusted at the factory to cook at the 

temperature shown on the display, it may cook faster or slower 

than your old oven.

Do not adjust the probe or self clean offset temperatures. The 

offset for the probe and self clean offsets must remain at 0 for 

proper and/or safe operation.

IMPORTANT: Do not measure the temperature inside the oven 

with a thermometer. Opening the door will cause an incorrect 

reading. Also, the temperature inside the oven will vary as the 

elements cycle on and off.
If you are not satisfied with the results from your oven, you can 

adjust the temperature offset as follows:
1.  With the oven off, press and hold the BAKE key 

for about six seconds. On model ER48D, press 

the BAKE key for the oven you wish to adjust.

2.  The current offset temperature will appear on the display, 

for example “0,” if you have not adjusted the temperature 

before.

3.  Enter the new offset temperature. 
4.  Within six seconds, enter the amount you want 

to increase or decrease the temperature on the 

number keypad. To enter a minus sign, press 

the SELF CLEAN key after the number(s). A 

minus sign means that the oven will be cooler by the amount 

shown. When there is no sign in front of the number, the 

oven will be hotter by the amount shown. You may enter a 

number between 35°F or -35°F (19°C or -19°C).

5.  Press CANCEL/SECURE to save the 

changes.
IMPORTANT: If you do not press CANCEL/SECURE, your 

changes will not be saved.

See the chart below for suggestions on the amount you need to 

adjust the oven for the results you want. The amount of food 

browning, moistness and rise time during baking will suggest the 

amount of adjustment you need.
