BACKGUARD: The range comes with the standard island trim
package. The optional backguard comes in three sizes, 3, 9" or
24". It is attached by the installer if the wall behind your range
is combustible. It protects the wall from the effects of heat and
splattering grease. See the installation instructions..
BURNERS: The size and location of each burner depends on the
range model. The range generates a spark to light the burner
when you turn the knob to ON. Gaskets around the underside
of the burner bases prevent spilled liquids from leaking into the
range's internal parts.
SPILL TRAY: The spill tray catches any food that falls through
the cooktop grates.
BURNER CONTROL KNOBS: Use the knobs to turn on the
burners and adjust the flame size. The corresponding knob
illuminates when a burner is on.
GRATES: The porcelain coated cast iron grates support the
cooking utensils during cooking. They are removable to allow the
area below and around the burners to be cleaned easily. The size
and location of the grates depends on the model of the range.
TRIM RINGS: Located behind each knob. They prevent liquids
from getting into the range's internal parts.

CONTROL PANEL: Your oven's control panel consists of a touch
pad and a display. Use the control panel to operate all the oven's
features (sometimes called modes).
CONVECTION
OVEN RACKS: Each oven comes with chrome-plated adjustable
oven racks. See the table below for the number and type provided
with your model. Page 13 describes the difference between rack
types.
CONVECTION ELEMENT: The convection element heats the air
that is blown into the oven chamber by the convection fan during
the convection cooking process. The convection filter covers it.
RACK SUPPORTS: There are five rack positions inside each
oven chamber. The rack positions are numbered from the bottom
counting up.
MEAT PROBE CONNECTOR: When you use the meat probe,
insert the skewer into the meat and plug the other end into the
connector. The left oven on model ER48D does not have the meat
probe feature. See the Meat Probe section on pages 20 - 21 for
proper operation.
BAKE ELEMENT: The source of bottom heat, attached to the floor
of the oven. The bake element for the model ER36D oven and the
large oven on model ER48D are hidden below the glass panel on
the floor of the oven chamber.
BROIL ELEMENT: The source of top heat, attached to the oven's
ceiling. The broil element for the model ER36D oven and the large
oven for model ER48D are hidden above the glass panel on the
ceiling of the oven chamber.
FAN: The convection fan blows heated air into
the oven chamber during the convection cooking process. The
convection filter covers it.
CONVECTION FILTER: The convection filter covers the
convection fan. It helps prevent the transfer of taste from one
food to another when you are cooking a whole meal. It also keeps
the oven cleaner, especially when convection roasting or
convection broiling. In addition, it covers the moving convection
fan blades for safety purposes.
OVEN LIGHTS: There are two oven lights inside the oven chamber so that you can easily see inside (the left oven on model
ER48D has only one). You can use the lights when the door is
open or to see inside through the window when the door is closed.
The lights turn on or off only when you press the light key on the
control panel. The bulbs are 12 Vac, 20 Watt, halogen.
DOOR GASKET: The door gasket prevents heat from escaping
when the door is closed.
Self clean LATCH: The self clean latch automatically locks the
oven door during the self clean cycle. The door latches for your
safety. There are very high temperatures inside the oven during
the self clean cycle.
DISPLAY: The control panel display provides various types of
information about the oven, including the current time (once the
clock is set), the current cook settings and the cooking temperature. The control panel can pivot up for easier access.
NUMBER KEYPAD: When you want to set the temperature,
time or the time, use the number keypad.

The flame should burn evenly around the perimeter of the
burner, except underneath each grate support finger, where
the flame height is reduced by Dacor's Smart Flame feature.
A normal flame is steady and blue in color. Foreign material
in the gas line, especially in new construction, may cause an
orange flame during initial operation. This will disappear with
further use. Small yellow tips on the ends of the flames are
normal when using LP gas.

Place the cooking utensil on the grate.
5.
Adjust the flame to the level necessary to perform the desired
cooking process.
IMPORTANT: When the cooktop is cool, the igniter may continue to
spark if the control knob is set to the low position. The burner will stop
sparking when warm. The tendency to spark when cold can be reduced by
operating the burner at a higher flame setting for about 60 seconds. After
60 seconds, lower the flame to cook. The burner will also warm up faster
if a utensil is placed on the grate. The igniter will also spark automatically
if the flame is distorted by a draft or by the household ventilation system.
Eliminate any drafts or reduce the ventilation blower speed to reduce this
type of problem.

Dacor's SimmerSear feature allows you precision control of
the flame. The larger the burner size, the wider the range of
control. See page 5 for the heat ranges of the different burners.

To Remove the Standard Oven Racks:
When you use your oven to bake or roast, it preheats automatically. The preheat cycle rapidly brings the oven chamber up to the proper cooking temperature. It takes several
minutes to preheat the oven. Preheat time depends on the
temperature settings. The time may be longer depending on
the type of electrical supply in your community. There is no
preheat cycle for any of the broil modes.
After you pull food out of the oven, it will continue to cook.
This process is called "carry-over". The larger the portion of
food, the longer it will cook. It is best to let the meat rest
after it comes out of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes before
carving. Doing so will allow the meat to retain its juices and
make it easier to carve.

You can add honey, spices, lime juice or orange juice to give
the fruit a different flavor.
4.
It is best to dehydrate on a baking rack with a pan underneath to catch any juices. If the fruit is small, use cheesecloth
over the rack. If you use a rack, it will allow for maximum air
circulation around the fruit. The cheesecloth will prevent the
fruit from sticking to the rack.
5.
Place the food onto the center of the oven rack.
NOTE: The minimum safe internal cooking temperatures are subject to
change. There are changes in bacteria and the temperatures required to
eradicate them. For the most current information, contact the USDA.

Effect
To give fruit a candied effect and to help retain color, blanch them
in a simple syrup. You can candy the fruits mentioned above as
well as figs and plums. The basic ratio for a simple syrup is 1 cup
of sugar to 1 cup of water. Add these ingredients to a 4 quart
stock pot and bring to a boil. Stir until all the sugar dissolves.
Remove the saucepan from the cooktop and allow it to cool. Dip
fruit into the simple syrup after it has cooled.

Skins
You should water blanch items with tough skins such as grapes,
prunes, dark plums, cherries, figs, and some types of berries.
Water blanching these types of fruit will crack the skins so that
moisture can escape and dehydration can be done more effectively.
To water blanch:
1.
Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in a 4 quart sauce pot.
2.
Drop the fruit in the water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the skin
begins to crack.
3.
Remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and dab dry with a
paper towel before dehydrating. The pit can be left inside or
removed half way through the dehydrating process.
Defrosting Tips
•
Food that takes an exceptional amount of time to defrost will
not defrost well in a convection oven.
•
You should not defrost anything that would normally take
over 2 hours to thaw. The food will begin to spoil because the
defrost temperature is not high enough to cook the food.
•
If you have a partially defrosted turkey, rib roast or other
large cut of meat, you may continue to defrost it in your convection oven. If wing tips and legs begin to dry out when you
defrost poultry, you may wrap the tips with aluminum foil.
•
If you are defrosting a small cut of meat, lay it on a flat
cookie sheet with a 1 inch rim to catch juices as the meat
thaws.
•
Thick, frozen casseroles such as lasagna will not defrost well
in your oven. Instead, defrost according to the food manufacturer's suggestions. You may also defrost casseroles in the
refrigerator overnight. You should leave the food in its original
container and keep it covered.
•
You can bake some foods from frozen. Some examples are:
pizza, frozen pastries, croissants, cookies, etc. Before baking
frozen food, allow the oven to preheat.

Self Cleaning Tips
