the uniform air circulation provided by Pure convection™ cooking
enables the full oven capacity to be utilized. Many foods, such
as pizzas, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls and frozen
convenience foods can be successfully prepared on either two or
three racks at the same time. additionally, complete meals can be
prepared by using multiple racks.
See below for specific recommendations. follow the steps in the
oven modes section to manually operate the oven,
or refer to the Delay timed Cooking section below for
automatic operation.
multiple rack Baking tips:
1. typically, when baking on two racks, use rack positions
# and #4 or #3 and #5. when baking on three racks,
use rack positions #1, #3 and #5.
. when adapting a single rack recipe to multiple rack
baking, it may be necessary to add to the baking time.
this is due to the extra mass of food in the oven.

dacor’s oven GlideRack™ is designed to install effortlessly and
glide at a full extension. especially when using dacor’s pizza
stone (model number aBS0), the full extension of the rack allows
you to slide the pizza on and off the stone with great ease. it is
also great for large roasts in large roasting pans. this easy- slide
rack will allow you to baste more easily and check temperatures
of the food more safely and quickly.
proper Installation of the easy slide oven rack:
1. fully extend the two side guides. align two small clips on the bottom
at the rear of the oven GlideRack™ with the black porcelain rack
guides in the oven.
. Begin to slide the rack in, then lift up. the oven GlideRack™ must
be in between the two clips on the upper and lower side of the rack
rear.
3. Push the rack all the way to the back.
4. Grasp the rack in the front center and pull. the rack should come
forward while the side guides remain in place.
