Clocks and Timers
Setting the Min/Sec Timer
The MIN/SEC TIMER is designed for accurate timing and is ideal for baking delicate items such as biscuits, cookies, and
popovers, and for precise broiling. The MIN/SEC TIMER can be used at the same time the BAKE TIME or START TIME
functions are in use. It can be used for timing up to 24 hours. When setting the timer, the time displayed will increase in 1
minute increments. When the timer counts down to 1 minute, the timer alarm will give two short beeps and the display
changes from hours: minutes to seconds only.
To program the Min/Sec Timer
1. Press the "MIN/SEC TIMER" button. The timer will display :00 and the word TIMER will be displayed in the lower right
corner.
2. Turn the "SET" knob until the desired duration time is displayed.
The MIN/SEC TIMER is now programmed. The alarm will sound at the end of the countdown. The program can be canceled
anytime by setting the remaining time to :00. To change back to the time-of-day, press the "CLOCK" button. Notice that a
small clock will be displayed in the upper right corner to indicate that a program is in progress. The display will return
automatically to the MIN/SEC TIMER after a few seconds.
Timer Alarm
At the end of a MIN/SEC TIMER program or BAKE TIME program, the alarm will consist of three beeps followed by two
beeps every 10 seconds until the "MIN/SEC TIMER" button is pressed. Whenever a valid function key is pressed or when a
control function starts automatically, one beep will be sounded. When an invalid function key is pressed, two beeps will be
sounded.
Setting the Automatic Start Time Bake Program
The BAKE TIME and START TIME modes of the timer can be used to automatically turn the oven on and off at a preselected
time. The Automatic Time Bake program is ideal for foods with no danger of spoilage during the time the oven is left off.
To Set The Automatic Time Bake Program:
1. Set the start time:
A) For Single Ovens – Program the start time by pressing the "START TIME" button and turning the "SET" knob until
the desired start time is displayed. This is the time of day you want the food to begin cooking.
B) For Double Ovens – Press the "START TIME" button once to set the starting time for the upper oven (UPPER OVEN
will show on the display). Press the "START TIME" button twice to set the starting time for the lower oven (LOWER OVEN
will show on the display). Then program the start time by turning the "SET" knob until the desired start time is displayed.
This is the time of day you want the food to begin cooking.
2. Set the desired baking time:
Once the start time is set, the display will switch to :00 and
the words SET, COOK and TIME will appear on the right side of the display. You will now enter the desired baking time.
Turn the "SET" knob until the desired baking time is displayed in hours and minutes. Once the desired bake time is set,
the word SET will disappear and the word DELAY will appear in the display indicating that the Bake Hours program has
been set.
Note: For double ovens, the word DELAY will show with either UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN depending on which oven
has been selected.
Note: For delayed Time Bake, the oven will automatically add 30 minutes to the programmed cooking time to account for
preheat.
