Getting Started  
Before using your oven, become familiar with the features and control panel layout.  
Below the oven mode touch pads are three touch pads labeled “CANCEL•SECURE,” “LIGHT” and “COOK TIME”. The “CANCEL•SECURE”  
touch pad enables the user to cancel the selection of an oven mode or Delay Timed program, or disable the control panel by pressing and  
holding the pad for approximately three (3) seconds. Once the control panel is in the “SECURE” mode, “OFF” will be displayed on the clock.  
The “LIGHT” touch pad turns the interior oven light “on” and “off.” The “LIGHT” touch pad will remain functional if the control panel has been  
disabled. The “COOK TIME” touch pad is used to select the length of time for a cooking process in Delay Timed cooking mode.  
Clock functions are selected by pressing the touch pads located below the clock display and oven mode touch pads. Oven functions are  
chosen by pressing the touch pad 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.  
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.

What is Pure Convection  
™?  
Direction of Air Flow  
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.  
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.  
Setting the Time of Day  
Follow these two steps to set the correct time of day:  
1. Press the “CLOCK” touch pad. The time of day will flash, “AM” or “PM” will  
be displayed, and “TIME” will flash in the display.  
2. Press the touch pad “+” or “–” until the correct time of day is displayed  
and release.  
Figure 11: Heated Air Circulation  
Pattern in Convection Modes

Oven Modes  
All oven modes are described below:  
1. STANDARD BAKE – In Standard Bake mode, the bottom heating element provides conventional radiant heat. Temperatures may be set  
from 135˚ to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use Standard Bake for single rack baking and roasting.  
2. 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 performed with the door closed.  
3. 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. Only available in ECD 230, PCD 230, and MCD230 models. Broiling is performed with  
the door closed.  
4. PURE CONVECTION™ – In 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˚ to 555˚F in 5˚F increments.  
Use this mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting, and preparation of complete meals.  
5. 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.  
6. TEMPERATURE PROBE – The Temperature Probe can be use 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.  
7. 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.  
Oven Racks & Supports  
6
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.  
5

2
The porcelain rack supports provide six heights for positioning of the oven racks.  
1
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.  
Figure 12: Oven Rack Positions  
Oven Mode Selection  
Follow these steps to manually operate the oven in Standard Bake, Pure Convection™ or Convection Bake mode:  
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).  
2. Press the touch pad for “STANDARD BAKE”, “PURE CONVECTION™” or “CONVECTION BAKE”. The oven will beep once, the  
selected cooking mode will flash, and “– – –” will be displayed.  
3. Press either the “+” or “–” pad. The default temperature of 350˚F will be displayed.  
4. To adjust the cooking temperature from 350˚F, press and hold the “TIME•TEMP” pad. (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 preheat. 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 Preheat 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.)  
5. Carefully place the food onto the desired rack(s) within the preheated oven.  
6. It is recommended that a Minute Timer be set to time the cooking process.  
7. When the time expires and/or the food is done cooking, press the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad to turn off the oven.  
5
 
Preheating the Oven  
The oven features an automatic Preheat 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 Preheat function. The Preheat cycle operates in Standard Bake, Pure  
Convection™ and Convection Bake modes. There is no Preheat cycle for the Broil or Convection Broil modes.  
Typically, 7 to 10 minutes are required to preheat the oven to 350˚F, and 11 to 14 minutes are necessary to reach 425˚F. Preheat times will be  
greater in those areas in which the electrical supply is less than 240 volts or 208 volts  
NOTES:  
1. For faster heat up, the broil element comes on during Preheat. For best results, allow the oven to preheat prior to placing food inside.  
2. The Preheat cycle is disabled during “PROBE” cooking. For best results, allow the oven to preheat in the desired mode prior to  
pressing the “PROBE” key.  
Using the Minute Timers  
The clock features two timers that may be used to time cooking or other processes up to 11 hours, 50 minutes in length.  
To use the Minute Timer function, follow these steps:  
1. Press the touch pad labeled “TIMER 1”, or “TIMER 2”. The clock will display “00:00”, and “TIMER 1”, or  
“TIMER 2” will flash.  
2. Press the “+” pad 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” touch pad while the beeper is sounding.  
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” touch pad. (See the Delay Timed Cooking section for automatic oven turn on and turn off.)  
NOTES:  
1. To view the current time of day rather than the remaining time on the Minute timer, just press the “CLOCK” touch pad. To change back  
to a Minute Timer display, press the “TIMER 1” or “TIMER 2” touch pad.  
2. To cancel the Minute Timer while in progress, press the “TIMER 1 or 2” touch pad two times. The clock display will return to the time of  
day.  
3. The Minute timers may be used at the same time as Delay Timed Cooking or Self-Clean.  
4. The Minute Timers will beep for 2 minutes (if not cancelled) before automatically shutting off.  
5. Pressing the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad when the beeper is sounding will cancel both the beeper and the cooking function.  
Securing the Controls  
To avoid accidentally turning the oven on, activate the “SECURE” feature. Press and hold the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad for approximately three  
seconds. This 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.  
To re-activate the control panel, again push and hold the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad for three seconds. Three beeps will sound and the “OFF”  
will disappear from the display.  
Baking/Roasting  
In addition to the conventional radiant-heat Standard Bake mode, your DACOR oven offers two convection baking modes: Pure Convection™  
and Convection Bake. All modes can be used to successfully prepare meals using standard recipes or your own personal favorites.  
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.  
1. 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%.  
2. 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. Common  
Baking Problems, for additional information.  
3. Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. Look through the door window to check the progress of baking whenever  
possible.  
4. Use the Minute Timers to time baking functions

(Continued)  
Baking/Roasting  
5. 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.  
6. Bakeware Tips:  
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.  
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.  
7. 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.  
8. Adjustments to recipe times and temperatures will have to be made when baking at high altitudes. Consult a cookbook on  
high-altitude cooking.  
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE  
1. Cookies and biscuits burn on the bottom. Oven door opened too often  
CORRECTION  
Set Minute Timer to shortest recommended  
time and check food at this time. Use door  
window to check food.  
Incorrect rack position being used. Pan too  
close to bake element.  
Change rack position. Use Pure  
Convection™ mode.  
Standard Bake or Convection Bake mode  
being used.  
Use Pure Convection™ mode.  
Change rack position.  
2. Cookies and biscuits are too brown on top. Rack position being used is too high.  
Food was placed in the oven during pre-heat. Wait until oven is pre-heated  
3. Cakes burn on the sides or are not done  
in center.  
Oven was too hot.  
Reduce temperature.  
4. Cakes crack on top.  
5. Cakes are not level.  
Oven temperature was too high.  
Oven and/or oven rack was not level.  
Oven was too hot.  
Reduce oven temperature.  
Level oven and rack as needed.  
Reduce temperature.  
6. Pies burn around edges or are not done  
in center.  
Dark, heat absorbing pan is being used.  
Oven was not hot enough.  
Use shiny, reflective pans.  
Increase oven temperature.  
Reduce number of pans.  
7. Pies are too light in color on top.  
Oven and/or rack over crowded.  
Table 3: Common Baking Problems  
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.  
MULTIPLE RACK BAKING TIPS  
1. 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.  
2. 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  
mass of food in the oven.

Using the Temperature Probe  
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for properly cooked food. The Temperature Probe  
takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking food to the exact temperature you desire.

IMPORTANT  
1. Use of probes other than the one provide with your wall oven may result in damage to the probe  
and/or the wall oven.  
2. Use the handles of the Temperature Probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the  
food and outlet.  
Handles  
Figure 13: Temperature Probe  
3. Do not use tongs to pull the cable when removing the Probe. Do so could damage the Probe.  
4. Make sure the food is completely defrosted before inserting the Probe to avoid breaking the Probe.  
5. Never leave the Temperature Probe inside the oven during Self-Clean mode.  
6. To prevent the possibility of burns, unplug the Temperature Probe using hot pads.  
7. Do not store the Probe inside the oven.  
Proper Temperature Probe Placement:  
1.  
Lay the Probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the  
Probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.  
2.  
Insert the Probe to the point marked by your finger into the meat. The Probe should not touch the bone, fat, gristle or the bottom  
of the pan.  
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.  
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.  
Setting the Oven When Using the Temperature Probe:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Preheat the oven to the desired temperature. (Convection Roasting Guide for Meats, Poultry and Fish)  
Insert the Temperature Probe into the food. (See Proper Temperature Probe Placement above.)  
After the oven cell has reached the desired temperature, place the food into the oven.  
Wearing an oven mitt, lift the probe outlet cover and plug the Temperature Probe into the outlet in the oven. (The outlet is located on the  
left inside oven wall near the front of the oven.) Make sure it is pushed all the way into the outlet. Close the oven door.  
5.  
6.  
Press the “PROBE” button.  
The Display will flash and beep “PRB” if the Probe is not inserted properly.  
Adjust the temperature to the desired setting using the TIME•TEMPERATURE buttons. A jump-in temperature of 160˚ will appear when  
the TIME•TEMPERATURE key is first pressed. To change to the desired temperature, just press the TIME•TEMPERATURE key until you  
reach the desired temperature. The temperature can be set from 100-200˚.  
After the temperature has been 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.  
7.  
The oven will go to the “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 Temperature Probe from the food. Do not use tongs to pull on the Probe, it might be damaged.  
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. This will allow the meat to retain its juices  
and continue to set, making it easier to carve.  
If the Probe is left inserted in the oven outlet when not in use, the control will beep and flash PRB until the Probe is unplugged.  
Unplugging the Probe from the oven turns the oven off.

Timed/Delayed Timed Cooking  
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 Convections and Convection Bake modes.  
lt will not function in the Broil modes.  
NOTE  
For the double ovens, both the upper and lower chambers can be set for Delay Timed Cooking. However, both chambers must have  
the same “COOK TIMES” and “STOP TIMES”.  
WARNING  
Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed cooking modes. To avoid potential sickness and spoiling of food, take  
the following steps:  
1. 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 stand in the oven for  
more than two hours before cooking begins.  
2. 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.  
3. 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.  
To use Timed Cooking, follow these steps: (This mode will begin cooking immediately and turn off at the desired time.)  
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).  
2. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack(s).  
3. Select the desired cooking mode and temperature.  
4. Press the “COOK TIME” pad and “TIME” will appear in the clock display. Press the  
“TIME•TEMP” “+” pad to set the length of time that the food will be cooked. The “COOK  
TIME” can be set from 5 minutes to 11 hours, 50 minutes.

Timed/Delayed Timed Cooking  
DELAYED TIMED COOKING TIPS  
1. Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast in Delay Timed Cooking. These foods will not rise properly.  
2. Remember that “COOK TIME” refers to the length of the cooking cycle. It does not refer to the start time!  
3. The time required to preheat the oven must be included in the “COOK TIME.” Thus, the “COOK TIME” should be increased by about  
8 to 12 minutes depending upon the temperature setting. The top element does not come on to preheat in the Delay Mode, so you  
will not pre-maturely brown foods.  
Dehydrating/Defrosting  
The oven can be used to dehydrate or defrost foods at low heat settings in “Pure Convection™” mode.  
Follow these steps to dehydrate or defrost foods:  
1. Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).  
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™” pad.  
4. Set the temperature to 135˚F. This is 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.)  
5. It is recommended that the user set the Minute Timer(s) to time the process.  
Broiling  
Broiling is a quick and flavorful way to prepare many foods, including steaks, chicken, chops, hamburgers and fish. Broiling in the oven  
is completed 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.  
Follow these steps to operate the oven in Standard Broil or Convection Broil modes:  
1. Close the door tightly.  
2. Press the “BROIL” or “CONVECTION BROIL” pad.  
3. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” or “–” pad and the default temperature setting “HI” will be  
displayed. “HI” is equivalent to 555˚F.  
Figure 15:  
Clock displaying Broil (double oven)  
4. If a temperature other than “HI” is desired, press the “TIME•TEMP” “–” pad 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, and the cooling fan will turn on.  
5. It is recommended that the user set the Minute Timer(s) to time the broiling process.  
6.. When the Minute Timer expires and/or the food is cooked, press the “CANCEL•SECURE” touch pad 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.  
BROILING TIPS  
1. Always use a broiler pan and grill to provide drainage for excess fat and grease. This will reduce spatter, smoke and flare-ups.  
2. Pre-heat the broiler for 10 minutes prior to cooking.  
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 as this allows juices to escape.  
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.  
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.  
7. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the broiler grill. Excess grease will result in heavy smoke.

WARNING  
1. To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off all controls and ensure the oven is cool before cleaning.  
2. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, polishes, or commercial oven cleaners to clean the oven.  
Read and follow the CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS to ensure that proper oven operation and appearance will be maintained  
throughout the lifetime of the product. Several materials and finishes are used in the oven. Each material and finish must be properly cleaned  
according to the following recommendations. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in permanent damage to the oven.  
Control Panel  
To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the control panel, activate the “Secure” feature. Press and hold the  
“CANCEL•SECURE” pad for approximately three seconds. This will disable the control panel and allow cleaning the controls without  
accidentally starting any functions. “OFF” will appear in the display when the control panel has been secured.  
To re-activate the control panel, again push and hold the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad for three seconds. “OFF” will disappear from the display.  
Clean the control panel with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY  
WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH. Dry the control panel completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.  
Door Handle & Control Housing  
Clean the door handle and control panel housing with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT USE  
ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH.  
Door Glass  
Clean all glass surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Use a mild glass cleaner to remove fingerprints or smears. Dry  
completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.  
Stainless Steel Surfaces  
On stainless steel ovens, the control panel, door(s) and exhaust grill are covered with stainless steel panels. Clean these surfaces with a  
solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.  
If commercially available stainless steel cleaners are used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a  
corrosive substance. If these compounds are present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.  
Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain.  
Porcelain Surfaces  
The oven interior and inner door liners are finished in porcelain enamel. Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.  
Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or commercial oven cleaners. Always remove excess grease and soil from the oven  
interior and door prior to using the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Brass, Chrome and Copper Surfaces  
Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse, dry and polish with a soft, lint-free cloth.  
If a commercially available polish is used, it is important to read the label for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance and  
is not recommended for use with brass, copper or chrome finishes. If these compounds are present, rinse surface thoroughly and dry with  
a soft, lint-free cloth.  
Follow manufacturerʼs instructions for application of polish.  
Broiler Pan and Grill  
The oven broiler pan and grill is finished in porcelain enamel. Clean both components in a solution of detergent and hot water. For heavy soil  
conditions, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. Rinse well after cleaning  
Oven Racks  
Oven racks are chrome-plated. For everyday cleaning, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad  
such as steel wool with plenty of water, or use a solution of 1 cup ammonia to 2 gallons of water. Remove racks during Self-Cleaning. If racks  
are left in the oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently discolor.  
11  
 
Convection Fan Filter  
WARNING  
Remove the filter only when it is cool.  
The convection fan filter is made of stainless steel. Remove the filter regularly for cleaning, as a clogged filter will reduce the effectiveness  
of convection cooking modes. Soak the filter in hot soapy water. Dry the filter completely before re-installing. Remove the filter during  
Self-Cleaning. If the filter is left in the oven during Self-Cleaning it will permanently discolor. Re-install the filter before cooking in the oven  
again. Failure to do so will expose the convection fan blade that rotates at high speed during convection modes.  
Step 1: Orient the filter so  
that the two mounting tabs  
are towards the rear, open  
end down.  
Step 2: Hook the two  
mounting tabs over the  
center horizontal bar.  
Figure 16: Removing and Installing the Convection Fan Filter  
Self-Cleaning  
The electric door latch is a convenient safety feature. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the Self-Clean mode. The latch  
ensures that the oven door cannot be opened while the interior oven temperatures are unsafe to the user.  
The oven features an automatic pyrolytic Self-Cleaning cycle to eliminate the need for difficult and time-consuming manual scrubbing of interior  
surfaces. During this cycle, the oven reaches temperatures of 850˚F to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom  
of the oven after completion of the Self-Clean cycle.  
The Self-Clean time is variable from 2 to 4 hours to offer flexibility in handling various soil conditions. A 2-hour cycle normally handles a  
moderately soiled oven, whereas a 4-hour cycle is recommended for a heavily soiled condition. The Self-Clean cycle can also be delayed  
to start at a later time if desired.  
IMPORTANT:  
1. It is normal for some smoke to be emitted during the first few Self-Clean cycles.  
2. Popping sounds are normal during Self-Clean cycles. These sounds are caused by the expansion and contraction of metal surfaces  
during heat-up and cool-down.  
3. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn during a Self-Clean  
cycle, causing permanent damage to the oven  
WARNINGS:  
1. DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN LIGHTS IN THE SELF-CLEAN MODE.  
2. Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the Self-Clean cycle  
3. Do not use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or  
can permanently damage the porcelain finishes.  
Prepare the oven for Self-Cleaning by following these steps:  
1. Clean soil from the oven front frame area and the oven door outside of the door gasket. Do not clean the door gasket. Cleaning the door  
gasket by hand can cause it to bend or move. A tight door seal is essential for proper baking and Self-Cleaning. Rinse surfaces well with a  
solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heavily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching scouring pad.  
2. Remove the broiler pan and grill, all cookware, utensils and other loose items from the oven chamber. Also, remove all oven racks and the  
convection fan filter to prevent them from permanently discoloring. However, to clean stubborn particles in the convection filter you may  
elect to simply leave it in place during self-clean. The filter will discolor due to the high heat, but this will not harm the filtering capabilities  
3. Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp cloth. This will minimize smoke and increase the efficiency of the Self-Clean  
cycle.  
4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the Self-Clean cycle.  
IMPORTANT  
If racks are left in the oven during a Self-Clean cycle, it will affect their ability to slide in and out easily. Polish the rack edges with a  
soapy steel wool pad, then apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the edges so that the racks will slide more easily.

(Continued)  
Self-Cleaning  
Follow these steps to Self-Clean the oven:  
1. Complete all steps listed above for preparing the oven for Self-Cleaning.  
2. Close the oven door completely.  
3. Press the “SELF-CLEAN” touch pad. The oven will beep once, “CLEAN” will flash, and “– –:– –” will be displayed.  
4. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad and the default time of “2:00” hours will be displayed.  
5. Increase the self-clean time up to 4 hours (depending upon the amount of oven soil) by holding the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad.  
6. To delay the self-clean start to a more convenient time, press the “STOP TIME” touch pad. Then, press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad  
to set the time of day for the cycle to be complete. “DELAY TIMED” will appear in the clock display. The cycle can be delayed up  
to 11 hours and 50 minutes.  
7. Approximately 30 to 60 seconds after selecting Self-Clean, the automatic door latch will lock the door. “LOCK” and “ON” will appear in the  
clock display. The oven will begin heating. The “ON” indicator will cycle on and off with the burner.  
NOTES:  
If Delay Timed mode has been set, the “ON” display and the oven heat will not turn on until the programmed time has been reached.  
IMPORTANT  
If the door is not closed completely, the automatic door latch will not be able to lock the door when the Self-Clean mode is selected. In  
this case, “door” will flash in the clock display. If this occurs, press the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad and wait approximately 1 minute. Repeat  
the Self-Clean steps from the beginning, being certain to close the door completely. Do not try to force the door open after it is locked,  
as the automatic latch can be damaged. If you need to unlock the door, turn off the Self-Clean cycle by pressing the “CANCEL•SECURE”  
pad. After approximately 1 minute, “LOCK” will disappear from the clock display, and the door will unlock. The door will remain locked until  
the oven temperature falls below 390˚F. Do not select any cooking function until the oven door is unlocked.  
8. About 50 to 60 minutes will be required for the oven to reach the Self-Clean temperature of 850˚F.  
9. The Self-Clean cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing “CANCEL•SECURE.”  
10. After completion of the Self-Clean cycle, the oven will stop heating and the “ON” and “CLEAN” indicators will disappear from the clock  
display. Press the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad.  
11. After the interior oven temperature falls below 390˚F, the door latch will release and “LOCK” will disappear from the clock display. The  
door can now be opened.  
12. Open the door. After ensuring that the oven has cooled sufficiently to be safe, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe out the powder residue  
found in the bottom of the oven. If white spots remain in the oven, remove them with a non-scratch scouring pad before using the oven  
again. These spots are normally salt that cannot be removed by a Self-Clean cycle.  
13. Re-install the oven racks and convection fan filter before cooking in the oven.  
IMPORTANT  
With the oven at room temperature, if the Self-Clean mode is accidentally selected and the oven enters Self-Clean mode (indicated  
by “LOCK” and “ON” in the clock display), the user must cancel out of this mode before attempting to select a different mode. To  
cancel, press the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad. Wait at least 60 seconds before attempting to select another mode. This allows the door  
latch time to unlock.  
Figure 20: Clock Display in Self-cleaning Mode  
SELF-CLEANING TIPS  
1. If any soil remains in the oven after completion of a Self-Cleaning cycle, repeat the cycle if desired. Increase the cleaning  
time during future cycles.  
2. Clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. This will increase the efficiency of the Self-Clean cycle and  
reduce the amount of smoke and odors generated.  
3. Self-Clean in the cooler evening hours after cooking is complete and when electricity rates are lower.  
4. In the double oven, if one oven is in the Self-Clean mode the other oven is inoperable.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(Continued)  
Adjusting the Oven Temperature  
IMPORTANT  
The user may find the temperature in their new oven to be different from that of their previously-owned appliance. Familiarity with the old  
appliance sometimes makes it difficult to get used to a new oven. If you feel that the oven temperature is consistently high or low, the  
temperature of the new oven can be adjusted. The adjustment needs to be done only once.  
The oven temperature may be adjusted (calibrated) by following these steps:  
1. Press “BAKE” selector pad.  
2. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad to set a temperature of 500˚F or higher.  
3. Press and hold the “BAKE” selector pad. After approximately 5  
seconds the temperature display is replaced by “00”. The “BAKE”

4. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+“ or “–” pad to set the amount of temperature  
adjustment. The temperature can be changed a maximum of 35˚F higher or lower. Set the adjustment to positive (+) numbers to  
increase the oven temperature; set the adjustment to negative (–) numbers to reduce the oven temperature. Temperatures can be  
adjusted in increments of 5˚F.  
5. After setting the desired temperature adjustment, press the “CANCEL•SECURE” pad to exit the calibration mode and to reset the  
clock display.  
NOTES:  
1.  
If “CANCEL•SECURE” is not pressed after setting the adjustment, the clock display will automatically reset in 6  
seconds.  
2.  
The amount of temperature adjustment may be changed again by repeating the calibration procedure. The oven will  
only retain the amount of the most recent temperature adjustment.  
3.  
4.  
The temperature adjustment is not affected by an electrical power failure  
The temperature adjustment only affects Standard Bake and Convection Bake modes. Broil and Self-Clean  
temperatures cannot be adjusted.  
Replacing the Oven Light(s)  
The light assembly consists of a removable lens cover and 10-watt 120VAC halogen bulb, as well as a light fixture housing. Light bulb  
replacement is considered to be a homeowner maintenance operation.
