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 Jnstalt 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.
GlideRackTMOvenRack
Dacor’s GtideRack 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 wilt also allow you to baste more easily and check temperatures of the food more safely and quickly.
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.
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.
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.

Oven Rack Positions
Helpful Hints When Using Your GlideRack Oven Rack · The GtJdeRack oven rack works particularly welt 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. · When using the GtideRack 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. · 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 · To clean the racks, use hot, soapy water and the rough side of a sponge.

Oven Modes
All oven modes are described below:
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.
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.
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 CONVECTION TM – 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°F to 555°F in 5°F increments. Use this mode for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting and preparation of complete meals.
CONVECTION BAKE – In this combination convectionradiant 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.
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.
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 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 BAKE, PURE CONVECTION or CONVECTION BAKE key. The oven will beep once, the selected cooking mode wilt flash, and “- – -” will be displayed.
3. Press either the “+” or “-” key. The default temperature of 350°F wilt 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” wilt 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 wilt 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 wilt 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” wilt 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 pre-heated oven.
6. It is recommended that you set a minute timer to time the cooking process (see page 11).
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 wilt 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.
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.

iiiii OVEN

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 celt 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 celt 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.
C
AIR FLOW

• 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.
  · 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:
  · Cakes, quick breads, muffins and cookies should be baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts.
  · Medium gauge aluminum sheets with tow 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.

Heated Air Circulation in Convection Modes
Baking and Roasting Tips
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.
· 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%.
· 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.
· Use the minute timers to time baking functions (see page 11).

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:
· 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.
· 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
Broiling Js 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.

Clock Displaying Broil (double oven)

To operate the oven in standard broil or convection broil modes:
1. Close the door tightly.
2. Press the BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL key.
3. Press the TIME · TEMP + or TIME · TEMP – key and the default temperature setting “HI” will be displayed. “HI” is equivalent to 555°F.
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 wilt light up in the clock display, the broiler element wilt begin heating.
5. Dacor recommends that you set the minute timer(s) to time the broiling process (see page 11).
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 wilt continue to run for 30 to 45 minutes depending upon the length and temperature of the broiling process.
Common Baking Problems

BROILING TIPS:
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.
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. The natural juices wilt 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 wilt 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.

PROBLEM Cookies and biscuits burn on the bottom.
Cookies and biscuits are too brown on top.
Cakes burn on the sides or are not done in center. Cakes crack on top. Cakes are not level. Pies burn around edges or are not done in center. Pies are too light in color on top.

PROBABLE CAUSE Oven door opened too often
Incorrect rack position being used. Pan too close to bake element. Standard bake or convection bake mode being used. Rack position being used is too high. Food was placed in the oven during pre-heat. Oven was too hot.
Oven temperature was too high. Oven and/or oven rack was not level. Oven was too hot. Dark, heat absorbing pan being used. Oven was not hot enough. Oven and/or rack over crowded.

CORRECTION Use door window to check food or set minute timer to shortest recommended time and check food when timer beeps. Change rack position. Use Pure Convection mode. Use Pure Convection mode.
Change rack position. Wait until oven is pre-heated
Reduce temperature.
Reduce temperature. Level oven and rack as needed. Reduce temperature. Use shiny, reflective pans. Increase oven temperature.

Delay 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 Convection and convection bake modes. Timed cooking does not function in the broil modes.
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 wilt not pre-maturely brown foods.

Delay Timed Cooking (Continued) Using the Meat Probe

To 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 key and “TIME” will appear in the clock display. Press the TIME · TEMP + key to set the length of time that the food witt be cooked. The cook time can be set from 5 minutes to 11 hours, 50 minutes.

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.
Important things to know about the meat probe:
· Double oven models have a meat probe connector in the upper oven only.
· If the internal temperature of the meat you are cooking is less than 55°F, you need to wait to insert the meat probe for proper operation.

1. Foltow steps 1 thru 4 in the previous instructions for timed cooking.
2. Press the STOP TIME key.
3. “STOP” will appear in the clock display. Press the TIME ° TEMP + key to enter the time of day that you wish the oven to shut off. “DELAY” wilt appear on the display. The oven will calculate the correct start time. After the cook time has expired, the clock wilt beep three times, and “Hold” wilt appear on the display. If cooking in a convection mode, the convection fan will also turn off at this time. While in hold mode, the oven temperature will be maintained at 150°F for a period of two hours. Hold mode can be cancelled by pressing the CANCEL ° SECURE key. The cooting fan wilt continue to run depending upon the length and temperature of the cooking process.

• 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.
  · To avoid the possibility of burns, unplug the meat probe using hot pads.
  · To prevent damage, use the handles of the meat probe and plug to insert and remove them from the food and connector. Do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing the probe.
  · Never leave the meat probe inside the oven when the oven is not in use and especially during self-clean mode.
  · To prevent damage to the oven, do not use probes other than the one provided with your wall oven.
  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 the probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.

NOTE: · For 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.
· Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast in delay timed cooking mode. These foods will not rise properly.

2. Insert the probe into the meat to the point marked by your finger. 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 toaf 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 teg of a whole turkey.

Setting the Oven When Using the Temperature Probe:
1. Pre-heat the oven to the desired temperature.
2. Insert the meat probe into the food. (See Probe Placement).
3. After the oven celt has reached the desired temperature, place the food into the oven.
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 walt near the front of the oven. Make sure the plug is pushed all the way in.
5. Close the oven door.
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.
8. After the temperature is set, the control panel temperature readout wilt default to 95°F, even if the food has not reached that temperature. The temperature readout wilt increase in I°F increments until the food reaches the set temperature.
9. The oven will go into hold mode for 2 hours after the internal temperature of the food has reached the desired temperature and wilt 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.
NOTES:
After meat is pulled out of the oven, it wilt 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.
If the probe is left attached to the connector when not in use, the control panel wilt beep and flash “PRB” until the probe is unplugged. Unplugging the probe from the oven turns the oven off.

ReadandfollowtheseCare and Cleaning instructions completely
to maintain proper oven operation and appearance throughout the life 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 key for approximately three seconds. This wilt 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 key 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.
IMPORTANT:
· 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.
· Brass, chrome, and copper finishes are protected with a clear coat enamel and should not be cleaned with metal polishes.
Broiler Pan and Grill
The oven broiler pan and grill are 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
The 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 the racks during self-cleaning If the racks are left in the oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently discolor.
Convection Filter
· The convection filter is made of stainless steel. Remove the filter regularly for cleaning. A clogged filter wilt reduce the effectiveness of the convection cooking modes.

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 wilt discolor due to the high heat, but the filtering capabilities will not be affected.
3. Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp cloth. This wilt minimize smoke and increase the efficiency of the self-clean cycle.
4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the process.
   IMPORTANT:

If racks are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, it will affect their ability to slide in and out easily. If damage occurs, 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.

Convection Filter Installation

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle: 1. Close the oven door completely.

Self Cleaning

2. Press the SELF-CLEAN key. The oven wilt beep once, “CLEAN” will flash, and ” : ” will be displayed.
   3. Press the TIME · TEMP + key and the default time of “2:00” hours will be displayed.

3. Increase the self-clean time up to 4 hours (depending upon the amount of oven soil) by holding the TIME · TEMP + key.

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 heavy soil. The self- clean cycle can also be delayed to start at a later time if desired.
IMPORTANT:
· It is normal for some smoke to be emitted during the first few self-clean cycles.
· Popping sounds are normal during self-clean. These sounds are caused by the expansion and contraction of metal surfaces during heat-up and cool-down.
· 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.
To Prepare the Oven for Self-Cleaning:
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 welt with a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heavily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching scouring pad.

5. To delay the self-clean start to a more convenient time, press the STOP TIME key. Then, press the TIME · TEMP + key 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.
6. Approximately 30 to 60 seconds after selecting self-clean, the automatic door latch wilt lock the door. “LOCK” and “ON” wilt appear in the clock display. The oven wilt begin heating. The “ON” indicator will cycle on and off with the burner.
   NOTE:

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.

Self-Cleaning (Continued)
7. About 50 to 60 minutes is required for the oven to reach the self-clean temperature of 850°F.
8. The self-clean cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing CANCEL · SECURE.
9. After completion of the self-clean cycle, the oven wilt stop heating and the “ON” and “CLEAN” indicators wilt disappear from the clock display. Press the CANCEL · SECURE key.
10. After the interior oven temperature falls below 390°F, the door latch wilt release and “LOCK” wilt disappear from the display. The door can be opened. Do not select any cooking function until the oven door is unlocked.
11. 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 the self-clean cycle.
12. Re-install the oven racks and convection filter before cooking in the oven.
Self-Cleaning Tips:
· If any soil remains in the oven after completion of a self-clean cycle, repeat the cycle if desired. Increase the cleaning time during future cycles.
· Clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. Doing so will increase the efficiency of the self-clean cycle and reduce the amount of smoke and odors generated.
· Self-clean in the cooler evening hours after cooking is complete and when electricity rates are lower.
· On double oven models, if one oven is in the self-clean mode the other oven is inoperable.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature
IMPORTANT:
You 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 tow, the temperature of the new oven can be calibrated, The calibration needs to be done only once,
