To set the Clock, push the center

To Set Minute Timer
The Minute Timer has been
combined with the range clock.
Use it to time all your precise
cooking operations. You will
recognize the Minute Timer as the
pointer which is different in color
and shape than the clock hands.
To set the Minute Timer, turn the
center knob, without pushing in,
until pointer reaches number of
minutes you wish to time.
(Minutes are marked, up to 60, in
the center ring on the clock.) At
the end of the set time, a buzzer
sounds to tell you time is up. Turn
knob, without pushing in, until
pointer reaches OFF and buzzer
stops.

can TIME BAKE with the oven
turning on immediately and
turning off at the Stop Time set, or
you can set both DELAY START

automatically start and stop oven

worry out of not being home to
start or stop the oven.
Setting the dials for TIME BAKE
is explained in detail in the baking
section of this book.
