Oven Operation MRES Oven Features Getting Started Before using your range, become familiar with the features and control panel layout. The clock, CANCEL•SECURE, LIGHT and COOKTIME touch pads are located to the left of the clock display, while the cooking function touch pads are to the right of it. 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 completed within six seconds, the program selection displayed on the clock will disappear. Should this occur, repeat the initial function selection. 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. Oven Modes All oven modes are described below: STANDARD BAKE - In Standard Bake mode, the bottom heat element provides conventional baking heat. Temperatures may be set from 135˚ to 555˚F in 5˚F increments. Use Standard Bake for single rack baking and roasting. 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. 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. 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. TEMPERATURE PROBE - This oven function will allow you to plug a Dacor provided temperature probe into the oven receptacle and measure temperatures in your food via the oven control and display. 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 that you desire. The temperature range that the temperature probe will read is from 100°F to 200°F. SELF-CLEAN - In the pyrolytic Self-Clean mode, the oven reaches extreme high temperatures, 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. 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 improving 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 filter eliminates the transference of flavors when cooking entire meals and also keeps the oven cleaner. 4
