Delay/Timed Cooking
If you want to set the oven to automatically turn itself on
or off at a later time or day, you can use the delay options
feature. The delay options work for all of the various cook
modes (except broil) and special features, including Dacor
Guide and self-clean. You can set the oven to turn on up
to a week later.
Delay/Timed Cooking Options
You can set the delay/timed cooking options to:
Start the oven immediately and turn it off at a certain •
time of day (stop time).
Start the oven immediately and turn it off after a set
•
amount of time (duration time).
Start the oven at a later time (delay start) and turn it
•
off at a certain time of day (stop time).
Start the oven at a later time (delay start) and turn it
•
off after a set amount of time (duration time).
Start the oven at a later time (delay start) with no
•
turn off time.
For the self-clean feature only: You may only use the
delay options feature to set the start time and day for the
self-clean feature. You cannot change the stop time or
duration of the self-clean cycle. The duration time for self-
cleaning is set automatically when you pick light, medium,
or heavy cleaning.
warning
Food safety is an important consideration when using
the delay options feature. To avoid potential sickness
and the spoiling of food, take the following steps:
Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the •
oven to start. 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 after
•
completion of the hold cycle. The hold cycle
automatically starts at the conclusion of timed
cooking and keeps food at 150°F for two hours
(“hOLD” appears on the screen). When the
temperature drops below 140˚F, bacteria can
develop.
