Automatic Timer and Clock
The automatic timer and clock on your range are
helpful devices that serve several purposes.
To Set the Clock
Push the center knob in
and turn the clock hands
to the correct time. (If the
Automatic Timer pointer
should move also, let knob
out, 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'll 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.
Time Bake Uses Automatic Timer
Using the Automatic Timer, you can TIME BAKE with
the oven starting immediately and turning off at the Stop
Time set or you can set both Start and Stop dials to
automatically start and stop oven at a later time of day.
It takes the worry out of not being home to start or stop
the oven.
Setting the dials for TIME BAKE is explained in detail
on page 20.

Automatic Timer to set the length of time needed to
clean whether you wishto clean immediately,ordelay

may choose to begin immediately or clean at low
energy times duringthe night. Full explanationsof set-
