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.
