is different in color and shape than

turn the center knob, without push-
ing in, until pointer reaches number
of minutes you wish to time. (Min-
utes 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 Automatic Timer, you can
TIME BAKE with the oven starting
immediately and turning off at the
Stop Time set or 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 14.
Self-Clean Uses
Automatic Timer
The self-cleaning function on your
range uses the Automatic Timer to
set the length of time needed to
clean whether you wish to clean
immediately or delay the cleaning.
By setting the Start and/or Stop
Dials you may choose to begin
immediately or clean at low energy
times during the night. Full
explanations of setting the Start and
Stop Dials for self-cleaning are
described on page 20 and 21.
