Operating Your Range Broiling Tips (Continued) 5. Dacor recommends that you 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 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. NOTE: For broiling and top grill tips refer to your complimentary Dacor cookbook. Delay Timed Cooking WARNING • 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. • 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˚F, bacteria can develop. Delay timed cooking allows you to start and finish a cooking cycle automatically. It is especially useful for preparing meals in advance or cooking while you are at work or play. Delay timed cooking can only be used with standard bake (ERD models only), convection bake or Pure Convection modes. lt will not function in broil mode.

After six seconds "PRE", "ON" and "TIMED" will appear in the clock display, and the oven will begin heating. After the COOK TIME has expired, the clock will beep three times, and "Hold" will be displayed. The cooling fan will continue to run, depending upon the length and temperature of the cooking process. 6. Press the STOP TIME key, and "STOP" will appear in the clock display. 7. Press the TIME • TEMP + key to enter the time of day that you wish the oven to shut off. "DELAY" will be displayed. 8. The oven will calculate the correct "START TIME." After the "COOK TIME" has expired, the clock will beep three times, and "Hold" will be displayed. If cooking in a convection mode, the convection fan will also turn off. 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 touch key. The cooling fan will continue to run depending upon the length and temperature of the cooking process. Delay Timed Cooking Tips • Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast in delay timed cooking. These foods will not rise properly. • Remember that "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. Increase the cook time about 8 to 12 minutes, depending upon the temperature setting, to allow for pre-heat time. • The broiler does not pre-heat in delay timed mode, so you will not pre-maturely brown foods. NOTE: The gas broilers (ERD models only) are not activated for pre-heat in the delay-time cooking mode, so pre-heat times are increased, but dishes will not pre-maturely brown. 10
