Operating the Cooktop To Light a Burner: Cooktop Tips Each burner control knob has a small diagram next to it to tell you which burner it operates.

Push in on the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the HIGH position. The igniter for the burner will spark repeatedly until it lights.
Operating the Cooktop 3. Turn the center front burner knob to the light (HIGH) position. Once lit, turn the knob to the MAX GRIDDLE position, or lower if desired. DO NOT keep the burner knobs higher than the MAX GRIDDLE setting after they are lit! Using the Griddle For best results, allow the griddle to preheat for about 10 minutes before you start to cook. 1. Before using the griddle for the first time, wash it in hot, soapy water. Rinse it and allow it to dry thoroughly. See page 51. 4.
Basic Oven Operation Preset Temperature Settings Important Things to Know Before Operation • Dacor recommends turning the ovens on for one hour at 500°F (260°C) 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 ovens are used. • When you use an oven in one of the convection, bake or roast modes, it preheats automatically.
Basic Oven Operation Oven Racks To insert a GlideRack oven rack... You may use either rack type on any level inside the oven. Your oven also comes with Dacor GlideRack oven racks. You can pull a GlideRack oven rack out further than a standard rack and still support heavy pots and pans full of food. It is great for heavier foods and the optional Dacor baking stone. WARNING To reduce the chance of burns, position the oven racks when the oven is cool.

Basic Oven Operation For multiple rack baking... Understanding the Various Oven Modes Your Oven's Two Pure Convection Modes • Pure Convection • Pure Convection Sear • Typically, when baking on two racks with your oven, use rack positions #3 and #5 (counting from the bottom up). When baking on three racks, use rack positions #2, #4 and #6. • When adapting a single rack recipe to multiple rack baking, it may be necessary to add to the baking time due to the extra bulk of the food in the oven.
Basic Oven Operation Surround Bake Your Oven's Three Bake Modes • Bake • Surround Bake • Convection Bake Surround Bake uses both the bake element and a broil element. This mode is best for angelfood cake, fruit cobblers, quick breads, soufflés and cheesecakes baked in a water bath. Egg-leavened items turn out best in this mode because they still get a nice rise without over-browning or curdling.
Basic Oven Operation Understanding the Various Oven Modes (cont.) • Broil food on the first side for a little more than half of the recommended time, then season and turn. Season the second side just before removing the food from the oven. Your Oven's Three Broil Modes • 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 removing the food.
Basic Oven Operation • When using the roast mode, do not use pans with tall sides. They interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food. • Remove meats from the oven when the thermometer registers 5 to 10°F (3 to 6°C) below the desired temperature. The meat will continue to carry-over. • If using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the center of the thickest portion of the meat.

Cooking Tips Food Placement The Best Use of Bake Ware • Typically, when baking on two racks with the oven, use rack positions #3 and #5 (counting from the bottom up). When baking on three racks, use rack positions #2, #4 and #6. • • Turn pans on the racks so that the long sides run left to right, as you face them. You should bake cakes, quick breads, muffins and cookies in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid old, darkened, warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans.
Cooking Tips High Altitude Cooking Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. Therefore, recipe adjustments should be made in some cases. In general, no recipe adjustment is necessary for yeast-risen baked goods, although allowing the dough or batter to rise twice before the final pan rising develops a better flavor. Try making the adjustments below for successful recipes. Take note of the changes that work best and mark your recipes accordingly.
