following:  
warnIng  
warnIng  
if you receive a damaged product, immediately contact  
your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged  
appliance.  
Do not use the oven for storage.  
Clean and maintain the oven regularly as instructed in this  
manual. Keep the entire oven free of grease that could  
catch fire. Clean only those parts listed in this manual.  
Make sure that the oven has been properly installed  
and grounded by a qualified installer according to the  
accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer  
show you the location of the fuse or junction box so that  
you know where and how to turn off power to the oven.  
Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the  
self-clean cycle. they will be hot.  
use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check the  
manufacturer’s recommendations before use to determine  
if a utensil is suitable for use in an oven. Certain types of  
glass, ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use in  
the oven. Personal injury or damage may result from the  
improper use of cookware.  
Do not install, repair or replace any part of the oven unless  
specifically recommended in the literature accompanying  
it. a qualified service technician should perform all other  
service.  
Before performing any type of service, make sure that  
the electrical power to the oven is turned off at the circuit  
breaker or fuse box.  
Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or  
steam escape before looking or reaching inside.  
use extreme caution if adding water to food in the oven.  
the steam can cause serious burns or scalds.  
only use the oven for cooking tasks expected of a home  
appliance as outlined in this manual. this oven is not  
intended for commercial use.  
use only dry pot holders when removing food and  
cookware from the oven. wet pot holders can cause steam  
burns.  
Do Not touCH tHE iNtERioR SuRFaCES oF tHE  
ovEN DuRiNG oR iMMEDiatELY aFtER uSE.  
For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the  
convection filter(s) installed. when the filter is not installed,  
the spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are  
exposed.  
Make sure individuals who use the oven are able to operate  
it properly.  
Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or climb  
on any part of the oven including the door. Doing so may  
cause tipping, damage, serious injury or death.  
Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one hour  
before or after cooking. Eating spoiled food can result in  
food poisoning.  
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area  
around the oven. Do not allow children to play with the  
controls, pull on the handle(s) or touch other parts of the  
oven. Do not store items of interest to children above the  
oven. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on  
the appliance.  
Do not leave metal objects, such as aluminum foil, the meat  
probe or cookie sheets on the bottom of the oven. Do not  
allow the broil elements on the ceiling of the oven chamber  
to be covered up. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or  
other materials. Doing so may cause the oven or the items  
in it to overheat, creating a fire hazard or causing property  
damage.  
Do not tamper with the controls.  
to prevent the unit from tipping forward and to provide  
stable installation, make sure the oven is secured to  
the cabinet according to the accompanying installation  
instructions.  
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds.

Getting Started  
Setting The Time Of Day  
Before using your oven, become familiar with the features and  
control panel layout (see pages 4 and 5).  
follow these two steps to set the correct time of day:  
1. Press the CloCK key. the time of day will flash, “am” or  
“pm” will be displayed, and “tIme” will flash in the display.  
Below the oven mode touch keys are three touch keys  
labeled CANCEL • SECURE, lIght and CooK tIme. the  
CANCEL•SECURE key enables the user to cancel the selection  
of an oven mode or delay timed program, or disable the control  
panel. the lIght key turns the interior oven light on and off. the  
lIght key will remain functional if the control panel has been  
disabled. the CooK tIme key is used to select the length of time  
for a cooking process in delay timed cooking mode.  
2. Press the key “+” or “–” until the correct time of day is  
displayed and release.  
Securing the Controls  
to avoid accidentally turning the oven on, activate the secure  
feature. Press and hold the CANCEL • SECURE key for  
approximately three seconds. Doing so will disable the control  
panel and allow cleaning the controls without accidentally starting  
any functions. three beeps will sound and “off” will appear in  
the display when the control panel has been secured.  
Clock functions are selected by pressing the keys located below  
the clock display and oven mode keys. oven functions are chosen  
by pressing the key for the desired mode. once a clock or oven  
function has been chosen, a description of the selection will flash  
in the clock display area.  
to re-activate the control panel, again push and hold the CanCel  
• SECURE key for three seconds. three beeps will sound and  
“off” will disappear from the display.  
Important: after choosing a clock function or oven mode, you  
have six seconds to perform the next programming step. if the  
next step is not complete within six (6) seconds, the program  
selection displayed on the clock will disappear. Should this occur,  
just repeat the initial function selection.

Oven Racks and Support  
three chrome-plated convection racks are provided in the oven.  
always remember to position the racks prior to heating the oven.  
also, remove the oven racks prior to self-cleaning to prevent  
permanent discoloration of the racks.  
the porcelain rack supports provide six heights for positioning of  
the oven racks.  
to install a rack, align the left and right edges of the rack with the  
horizontal guide rails of the rack supports, then slide the rack into  
the oven.  
GlideRack Oven Rack  
Dacor’s GlideRack oven rack is designed to install effortlessly  
and glide at a full extension. the full extension of the rack allows  
you to slide pizza on and off with great ease when using Dacor’s  
optional pizza stone (model number aBS20). it is also great for  
large roasts in large roasting pans. it will also allow you to baste  
more easily and check temperatures of the food more safely and  
quickly.  
oven rack positions  
helpful hints when using your gliderack oven rack  
the GlideRack oven rack works particularly well with heavier  
items, but you can use it during any type of baking, broiling or  
roasting in your Dacor oven.  
the GlideRack racks need to be spaced out when using more  
than one in the oven at a time. For instance, they should be  
used in rack positions 1, 3 and 5 or 2 and 4, counting up  
from the bottom, instead of positions 2, 3 and 4.  
note: when fully extending the rack while in the first position,  
the rack may rest on the inner door.  
Installation:  
1. Fully extend the two side guides. align the two small clips  
on the bottom at the rear of the rack with the black porcelain  
rack guides in the oven.  
when using the GlideRack rack with Dacor’s aBS20 baking  
stone, use rack position 1 for best results.  
Heavier roasting pans and dishes will also cook better on  
rack position 1.  
2. Begin to slide the rack in, then lift up. the GlideRack oven  
rack must be in between the two clips on the upper and lower  
side of the rack rear.  
Do not leave any of the racks in the oven during self-clean.  
they may be damaged and/or will become difficult to slide  
in and out if self-cleaned. in addition, remove the convection  
filter in the back of the oven before self-cleaning.  
3. Push the rack all the way to the back.  
4. Grasp the rack in the front center and pull. the rack should  
come forward while the side guides remain in place.  
to clean the racks, use hot, soapy water and the rough side  
of a sponge.

Oven Modes  
Oven Mode Selection  
all oven modes are described below:  
Follow these steps to manually operate the oven in standard  
bake, Pure Convection or convection bake mode:  
standard baKe in standard bake mode, the bottom  
heating element provides conventional radiant heat.  
Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F  
increments. use standard bake for single rack baking and  
roasting.  
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).  
2. Press the baKe, pure ConveCtIon or ConveCtIon  
baKe key. the oven will beep once, the selected cooking  
mode will flash, and “– – –” will be displayed.  
standard broIl the high wattage, top heating  
element supplies the heat in Broil mode. the broil  
temperature is adjustable from 135˚F, to the “HI” setting  
(equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. Broiling  
is always performed with the door closed.  
3. Press either the “+” or “–” key. the default temperature of  
350˚F will be displayed.  
4. To adjust the cooking temperature from 350˚F, press and  
hold the TIME • TEMP key. (Press “+” key to increase the  
temperature setting, “–” to decrease). “pre” and “on” will  
appear in the clock display, and the oven will begin to heat.  
the convection fan will turn on to help stabilize the oven  
temperature during pre-heat. in standard bake mode, the  
convection fan will turn off once the desired temperature  
is attained. if in a convection mode, the convection fan will  
turn on. also, the clock display will change from the desired  
cooking temperature to the actual oven temperature, starting  
with 135˚F. The temperature display will increase in 5˚F  
increments until the desired temperature is reached. the  
cooling fan will turn on when the oven temperature reaches  
200˚F. When the desired temperature is attained, the pre-heat  
cycle is complete. the clock will beep once and “pre” and  
“on” will disappear from the display. (From this time forward,  
the “on” display will cycle on and off with the heating  
elements.)  
ConveCtIon broIl the high wattage, top heating  
element supplies the heat in broil mode in combination with  
the convection fan for better heat distribution. the broil  
temperature is adjustable from 135˚F to the “HI” setting  
(equivalent to 555˚F) for greater cooking flexibility. This  
mode is available only on models ECD230, PCD230, and  
MCD230. Convection broil is always performed with the  
door closed.  
pure ConveCtIonin Pure Convection mode a third  
heating element, encircling the convection fan located in  
the rear of the oven chamber, acts as the heat source.  
the convection fan draws air from the oven chamber, then  
forces it across the hot convection heating element. the  
heated air is directed back into the oven chamber through  
the convection baffle. the baffle distributes the heated air  
evenly to ensure uniform results. temperatures may be  
set from 135˚F to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use this mode  
for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting and  
preparation of complete meals.  
5. Carefully place the food onto the desired rack(s) within the  
pre-heated oven.  
6. it is recommended that you set a minute timer to time the  
cooking process (see page 11).  
ConveCtIon baKe in this combination convection-  
radiant mode, the lower element provides the heat. as  
in Pure Convection mode, the convection fan and baffle  
combine to circulate heated air evenly throughout the oven  
chamber. Temperatures may be set from 135˚F to 555˚F  
in 5˚F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking,  
multiple rack baking and roasting.  
7. when the time expires and/or the food is done cooking, press  
the CANCEL • SECURE key to turn off the oven.  
pre-heating the oven  
the oven features an automatic pre-heat cycle that rapidly  
brings the oven chamber up to temperature. Simply by choosing  
a cooking mode and setting a temperature, the oven will  
automatically perform the pre-heat function. the pre-heat cycle  
operates in standard bake, Pure Convection and convection bake  
modes. there is no pre-heat cycle for the broil or convection broil  
modes.  
temperature probe the temperature probe can be  
used in combination with standard bake, Pure Convection,  
or convection bake modes. the temperature probe takes  
the guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the exact  
internal temperature you desire. the temperature range  
that the probe will read is from 100˚F to 200˚F.  
note:  
For faster heat up, the broil element comes on during  
pre-heat. For best results, allow the oven to pre-heat prior to  
placing food inside.  
self-Clean in the pyrolytic self-clean mode, the oven  
reaches temperatures of 850˚F, thereby burning off oven  
soil automatically. the self-clean time is adjustable up to  
four hours so that varying degrees of oven soil can be  
successfully removed. also, the self-clean cycle can be  
delayed to start at a later time if desired.

wait until the shortest recommended baking time before  
checking food. For baked goods, a wooden pick placed in the  
center should come clean when the food is done.  
What Is Pure Convection?  
Your new oven has the best cooking system available today,  
Pure Convection. Pure Convection is a total system approach to  
cooking. the heat source is a third element outside the cooking  
cell behind a baffle. Not only does the baffle separate the food  
from the heat source, it channels the air from the convection fan  
evenly into the cell eliminating any hot or cool spots in the oven.  
this system is what allows multi-rack cooking while achieving  
even results from one rack to another.  
Place pans carefully on the oven racks. turn pans on the  
racks so that the long sides run left to right, parallel to the  
door.  
adjustments to recipe times and temperatures need to be  
made when baking at high altitudes. Consult a cookbook on  
high-altitude cooking.  
bakeware tips:  
the other component in Pure Convection is the filter. the filter  
eliminates the transference of flavors when cooking entire meals  
and also keeps the oven cleaner.  
Cakes, quick breads, muffins and cookies should be baked in  
shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts.  
Medium gauge aluminum sheets with low sides should be  
used when preparing cookies, biscuits and cream puffs.  
Bake most frozen foods in their original foil containers placed  
on a flat cookie sheet. Follow the package recommendations.  
AIR FLOW  
when using glass bakeware, reduce the recipe temperature  
by 25˚F, except when baking pies or yeast breads. Follow the  
standard recipe baking time for pies and yeast breads.  
Multiple Rack Baking  
the uniform air circulation provided by Pure Convection cooking  
enables the full oven capacity to be utilized. Many foods, such  
as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls and frozen  
convenience foods can be successfully prepared on either two  
or three racks at the same time. additionally, complete meals  
can be prepared by using multiple racks. See below for specific  
recommendations. Follow the steps in the oven modes section  
to manually operate the oven, or refer to the delay timed  
Cooking section below for automatic operation.  
heated air Circulation in Convection modes  
Baking and Roasting Tips  
standard recipes or your own personal favorites.  
multiple rack baking tips:  
all modes can be used to successfully prepare meals using  
typically, when baking on two racks, use rack positions 2 and  
4 or 3 and 5. when baking on three racks, use rack positions  
1, 3 and 5.  
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and  
consistency, there are a few foods that may be prepared more  
successfully in the standard bake mode. For this reason, standard  
bake mode is recommended when preparing baked goods such  
as custard. the user may find other foods that are also prepared  
more consistently in standard bake mode. this is perfectly normal.  
when adapting a single rack recipe to multiple rack baking,  
it may be necessary to add to the baking time. this is due to  
the extra amount of food in the oven.  
Broiling  
as a general rule, to convert conventional Standard Bake  
recipes to convection recipes, reduce temperature by 25˚F  
and the cooking time by approximately 10%.  
Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods,  
including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and fish. Broiling  
in the oven is performed with the oven door completely shut. it is  
normal and necessary for some smoke to be present to give the  
food a broiled flavor. the broil temperature may be adjusted in  
5˚F increments from 135˚F up to the maximum setting of “HI”. The  
“HI” setting is equivalent to 555˚F.  
Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may  
require adjustment and testing when converting from  
standard to convection modes. if unsure how to convert  
a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe in standard bake  
mode. after achieving acceptable results this way, follow the  
convection guidelines listed. if the food is not prepared to  
your satisfaction during this first convection trial, adjust only  
one recipe variable at a time (such as cooking time, rack  
position or temperature) and repeat the convection test. if  
necessary, continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time  
until satisfactory results are achieved. See Common Baking  
Problems on the facing page for additional information.  
Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. Look  
through the door window to check the progress of baking  
whenever possible.

broIlIng tIps:  
to operate the oven in standard broil or convection broil  
modes:  
1. always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage for  
excess fat and grease. Doing so will reduce spatter, smoke  
and flare-ups.  
1. Close the door tightly.  
2. Press the broIl or ConveCtIon broIl key.  
2. Pre-heat the broiler for 10 minutes prior to cooking.  
3. Press the TIME • TEMP + or TIME • TEMP – key and the  
default temperature setting “hI” will be displayed. “hI” is  
equivalent to 555˚F.  
3. Begin with a room temperature broiler pan for even cooking.  
4. use tongs or a spatula to turn and remove meats. Never  
pierce meat with a fork. the natural juices will escape.  
4. if a temperature other than “hI” is desired, press the tIme  
• TEMP – key to reduce the temperature. Six seconds after  
setting the temperature, the “on” indicator will light up in the  
clock display, the broiler element will begin heating.  
5. Broil food on the first side for slightly more than half of the  
recommended time, then season and turn. Season the  
second side just before removing.  
5. Dacor recommends that you set the minute timer(s) to time  
the broiling process (see page 11).  
6. to prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler grill. Excess  
grease will result in heavy smoke. For easier cleaning,  
remove the broiler pan and grill when the food is removed.  
while the pan and grill are still warm, soak the pan and grill  
in a solution of hot water and dishwashing liquid, then scrub  
them with an abrasive pad.  
6. when the minute timer expires and/or the food is cooked,  
press the CANCEL • SECURE key to turn off the oven.  
the cooling fan will continue to run for 30 to 45 minutes  
depending upon the length and temperature of the broiling  
process.

Delay Timed Cooking  
warnIng  
Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed  
cooking modes. to avoid potential sickness and spoiling of food,  
take the following steps:  
this function allows the user to finish and/or start a cooking  
cycle automatically. it is especially useful for preparing meals in  
advance or cooking while you are at work or play. timed cooking  
can only be used with standard bake, Pure Convection and  
convection bake modes. timed cooking does not function in the  
broil modes.  
avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the  
cooking cycle to begin. typical foods to avoid include those  
containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups, and  
cooked or uncooked meats, poultry and fish.  
if cooking will not begin immediately, place only very cold  
or frozen food into the oven. Most unfrozen foods should  
never stand in the oven for more than two hours before  
cooking begins.  
Important:  
CooK tImE refers to the length of the cooking cycle. it does  
not refer to the start time.  
the time required to pre-heat the oven must be included in  
the CooK tIme. allow for about 8 to 12 minutes pre-heat  
time depending upon the temperature setting. the top  
element does not come on to pre-heat in the delay mode, so  
you will not pre-maturely brown foods.  
Do not allow foods to remain in the oven more than one  
hour after completion of the cooking cycle. when the  
temperature drops below 140˚, bacteria can develop.

Delay Timed Cooking (Continued) Using the Meat Probe  
to begin cooking immediately and turn off at the desired  
time:  
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food  
temperature is the best test for properly cooked food. the meat  
probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the  
exact temperature you desire.  
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).

Make sure the food is completely defrosted before inserting  
the meat probe to avoid breaking the probe.  
For fully defrosted meat: allow it to come to room temperature  
by leaving it out for at least 15 minutes, but no more than  
2 hours. Fully defrosted meat allowed to come to room  
temperature before cooking can improve cooking results for  
searing, roasting and meat cooked rare.  
For partially frozen meat: first fully defrost and follow the  
steps above.

have the same cook times and stop times.  
For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the side of  
the roast in the center. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert  
the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or  
joint.  
Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast in delay  
timed cooking mode. these foods will not rise properly.  
For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the  
probe into the center of the dish. when cooking fish,  
insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest  
area, parallel to the backbone.  
insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh  
from below, and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

settings in Pure Convection mode.  
1. Pre-heat the oven to the desired temperature.  
the oven can be used to dehydrate or defrost foods at low heat  
2. insert the meat probe into the food. (See Probe Placement).  
3. after the oven cell has reached the desired temperature,  
follow these steps to dehydrate or defrost foods:  
place the food into the oven.  
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).  
4. wearing an oven mitt, lift the meat probe connector cover  
in the oven and plug in the meat probe. the connector is  
located on the left inside oven wall near the front of the oven.  
Make sure the plug is pushed all the way in.  
2. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack. For  
dehydrating, prepare food as recommended then place food  
onto a drying rack.  
3. Press the pure ConveCtIon key.  
5. Close the oven door.  
4. Set the temperature to 135˚F, the minimum temperature that  
can be set. For dehydrating, a higher temperature setting  
may be required. Follow the recommended temperature for  
the type of food being prepared.  
6. Press the probe key. the display will flash “prb” and beep  
if the probe is not connected properly.  
7. adjust the temperature to the desired setting using the  
TIME • TEMPERATURE keys. a "jump-in" temperature of  
160˚ will appear when the TIME • TEMPERATURE key is  
first pressed. to change to a different temperature, press  
the TIME • TEMPERATURE key repeatedly until you reach  
the desired temperature. the temperature can be set from  
100-200˚F. See the chart below for the Minimum Safe Internal  
Temperatures for Various Foods.  
5. Dacor recommends that you set the minute timer(s) to time  
the process (see page 11).  
Using the Minute Timer  
the clock features two timers that may be used to time cooking or  
other processes up to 11 hours 50 minutes in length.  
8. after the temperature is set, the control panel temperature  
readout will default to 95˚F, even if the food has not reached  
that temperature. the temperature readout will increase in  
1˚F increments until the food reaches the set temperature.  
to use the minute timer:  
1. Press the key labeled tImer 1, or tImer 2. the clock will  
display “00:00”, and “tImer 1” or “tImer 2” will flash.  
9. the oven will go into hold mode for 2 hours after the internal  
temperature of the food has reached the desired temperature  
and will hold the oven temperature at 150˚F. The residual  
heat of the oven will cause the internal temperature of the  
food to continue to climb. use hot pads to remove the meat  
probe from the food.  
2. Press the + key repeatedly until the desired time is displayed  
on the clock.  
3. after tImer 1 has expired, the clock will sound off with one  
second beeps and “tImer 1” will appear in the display.  
after the tImer 2 minute timer has expired, the clock will  
sound alternating one and two second beeps and “tImer  
2” will appear in the display. the beeper can be silenced by  
pressing the tImer key while the beeper is sounding.  
notes:  
after meat is pulled out of the oven, it will continue to cook.  
Carry-over cooking affects all foods. the larger the item, the  
longer the carry-over. it is best to let the meat rest after it  
comes out of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Doing so allows  
meat to retain its juices and continue to set, making it easier  
to carve.  
Important: Cancellation of the minute timer does not turn off  
the oven if it is operating. You must manually shut the oven off  
by pressing the CANCEL • SECURE key. (See the Delay Timed  
Cooking section for automatic oven turn on and turn off.)  
notes:  
if the probe is left attached to the connector when not in use,  
the control panel will beep and flash "prb" until the probe  
is unplugged. unplugging the probe from the oven turns the  
oven off.
