AUTOMATIC TIMERS AND CLOCK
The automatic timers and clock on your range are helpful devices that serve
several purposes. Using the automatic timers (Delay Start and Stop Time)
you can set your oven to turn on and off automatically.
To Set the Clock
To set the clock, push the center knob of the clock in
and turn the clock hands clockwise to the correct time.
NOTE: When you set the clock, the minute timer
pointer will move also; let the knob out and turn the
timer pointer to OFF.
To Set the 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
counterclockwise without pushing in, until the pointer
reaches the 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 the knob, without pushing in, until
the pointer reaches OFF and the buzzer stops.
Timed Baking Uses the Automatic Timers
Using the automatic timers (the DELAY START and STOP TIME dials),
you can set your oven to turn on and off automatically. See the Timed
Baking section.
Questions and Answers
Q. How can I use the minute timer to make my
surface cooking easier?
A. The minute timer will help time total cooking,
which includes time to boil food and change
temperatures. Do not judge cooking time by
visible steam only. Food will cook in covered
containers even though you can't see any steam.
Q. Must the clock be set on correct time of
day when I wish to use the automatic timers
for baking?
A. Yes, if you wish to set the DELAY START or
STOP TIME dials to turn on and off at set times
during timed functions.

Self-Cleaning Uses the Automatic Timers
The self-cleaning function on
your range uses the Automatic
Timers to set the length of time
needed to clean whether you wish
to clean immediately, or delay the
cleaning until low energy times such as during the night.
See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
NOTE: Before beginning Timed Baking or Self
Cleaning, make sure the oven clock shows the
correct time of day.
Q. Can I use the minute timer during oven cooking?
A. The minute timer can be used during any cooking
function. The automatic timers (DELAY START
and STOP TIME dials) are used with TIMED
BAKE and CLEAN functions.
Q. Can I change the time of day on the clock
while I'm Timed Baking in the oven?
A. The time of day on the clock should not be changed
during any program that uses the oven timers. You
must either stop those programs or wait until they
are finished before changing the time.
