11oven operatIonDehydrating/Defrostingthe oven can be used to dehydrate or defrost foods at low heatsettings in Pure Convection mode.follow these steps to dehydrate or defrost foods:Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).1.Place the food onto the center of the oven rack. For2.dehydrating, prepare food as recommended then place foodonto a drying rack.Press the3. pure ConveCtIon key.Set the temperature to 135˚F, the minimum temperature that4.can be set. For dehydrating, a higher temperature settingmay be required. Follow the recommended temperature forthe type of food being prepared.Dacor recommends that you set the minute timer(s) to time5.the process (see page 11).Using the Minute Timerthe clock features two timers that may be used to time cooking orother processes up to 11 hours 50 minutes in length.to use the minute timer:Press the key labeled1. tImer 1, or tImer 2. the clock willdisplay “00:00”, and “tImer 1” or “tImer 2” will flash.Press the2. + key repeatedly until the desired time is displayedon the clock.after3. tImer 1 has expired, the clock will sound off with onesecond beeps and “tImer 1” will appear in the display.after the tImer 2 minute timer has expired, the clock willsound alternating one and two second beeps and “tImer2” will appear in the display. the beeper can be silenced bypressing the tImer key while the beeper is sounding.Important: Cancellation of the minute timer does not turn offthe oven if it is operating.

(See2. Probe Placement).after the oven cell has reached the desired temperature,3.place the food into the oven.wearing an oven mitt, lift the meat probe connector cover4.in the oven and plug in the meat probe. the connector islocated on the left inside oven wall near the front of the oven.Make sure the plug is pushed all the way in.Close the oven door.5.Press the6. probe key. the display will flash “prb” and beepif the probe is not connected properly.adjust the temperature to the desired setting using the7.TIME • TEMPERATURE keys. a "jump-in" temperature of160˚ will appear when the TIME • TEMPERATURE key isfirst pressed. to change to a different temperature, pressthe TIME • TEMPERATURE key repeatedly until you reachthe desired temperature. the temperature can be set from100-200˚F. See the chart below for the Minimum Safe InternalTemperatures for Various Foods.after the temperature is set, the control panel temperature8.readout will default to 95˚F, even if the food has not reachedthat temperature. the temperature readout will increase in1˚F increments until the food reaches the set temperature.the oven will go into hold mode for 2 hours after the internal9.temperature of the food has reached the desired temperatureand will hold the oven temperature at 150˚F. The residualheat of the oven will cause the internal temperature of thefood to continue to climb. use hot pads to remove the meatprobe from the food.notes:after meat is pulled out of the oven, it will continue to cook.•Carry-over cooking affects all foods. the larger the item, thelonger the carry-over. it is best to let the meat rest after itcomes out of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Doing so allowsmeat to retain its juices and continue to set, making it easierto carve.if the probe is left attached to the connector when not in use,•the control panel will beep and flash "prb" until the probeis unplugged. unplugging the probe from the oven turns theoven off.minimum safe Internal temperatures for various foodstype and Cut Internaltemp.Pork, ham, sausage and bacon 180˚Fall foods previously served and cooled that arereheated165˚F*all poultry and game birds (turkey, chicken, cornishgame hen, duck, etc.)180˚FStuffed meats 165˚FStuffing 165˚FFish and most other potentially hazardous food notlisted in this table165˚FBeef steaks (rare) 145˚FBeef roasts (rare) 145˚F* Within two hours
