perature scale.

Turning the Control Panel “Beep” Off/On

The control panel beeps any time you touch any of the 

keys or when various error conditions exist. It also beeps 

when a timer is done counting down (page 14) or 

whenever the oven performs certain preset functions, for 

example, pre-heat is complete. The tone may be silenced 

so that it does not function under the above conditions.

until “beep” appears on the display.

and “Off”.

appears on the display.

mode, repeat the above steps.

Lock-Out Feature

SECURE key for about 

four seconds. The control panel keys will stop work-

ing and “OFF” will appear on the display. Only the 

SECURE and oven light keys remain func-

tional.

•  To reactivate the control panel, touch and hold the 

SECURE key for four seconds.

Before Using the Oven...

•  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.

•  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 preheat the oven. Preheat 

time depends on the temperature 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 natural juices and make it easier to 

carve.
