Timer

The timer is a minute timer only. 

The timer does not control oven

on the timer is 11 hours and 59
minutes.

1. Press the TIMER

ON/OFF pad.

2. Press the HOUR and MIN. pads

until the amount of time you
want shows in the display. The
timer will start automatically
within a few seconds of
releasing the pad.

If the display is still showing the
time remaining, you may change it
by pressing the HOUR and MIN.
pads until the time you want
appears in the display.
If the remaining time is not in the
display, recall the remaining time
by pressing the TIMER ON/OFF

End of Cycle Tones 

(on some models)

To cancel the timer, the remaining time must be in
the display. To recall the time remaining, press the
TIMER ON/OFF pad once. To cancel the timer press
the TIMER ON/OFF pad again.

The end of cycle tone can be cleared by pressing the
TIMER ON/OFF pad or, on some models, by pressing
the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad depending on which
function you are using.

Power Outage

Oven Temperature Knob

On some models, after a power outage the oven will
automatically resume its setting once the power is
restored.
For models with a CLOCK pad, when the power is
restored the display will flash the time of day until a
pad is pressed or the knob is turned. Reset the clock to
the correct time of day.
If the oven was in operation when the power outage
occurred, the Oven Temperature knob must be turned
back to OFF. Then reset the knob to the way it was
before the power outage.

If your model has a COOK TIME ON/OFF pad
and your oven was set for timed baking or roasting
when the power outage occurred, 
the clock and all
programmed functions must be reset. To reset them,
first turn the Oven Temperature knob back to OFF,
reset the clock, functions and knob back to the way
they were before the power outage.

The oven temperature 
knob maintains the
temperature you set
from WARM (170°F.)
to BROIL (550°F.). 
It also has an OFF
and an AUTO SELF
CLEAN setting.

The PREHEATED light glows when the oven
reaches your selected temperature.
The OVEN ON light will glow any time the Oven
Temperature knob is not in the OFF position and is 
set on a temperature or a function.

Appearance may vary.
