To operate the oven in standard broil or convection broil
modes:
1. Close the door tightly.

BROILING TIPS:
Press the BROIL or CONVECTION BROIL key.
Press the TIME • TEMP + or TIME • TEMP - key and the
default temperature setting "HI" will be displayed. "HI" is
equivalent to 555°F.
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.
Dacor recommends that you set the minute timer(s) to time
the broiling process (see page 11).
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.
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.

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.
