The Clock/Timer is a digital clock with a minute timer and
automatic control cooking cycle. The clock is set via the
function setting and slew controls. When power is con-
nected to the unit, or a power failure of longer than three (3)
seconds occur, the display will show "12:00" flashing at the
rate of 1/2 second ON and 1/2 second OFF.
Setting the Time-of-Day
The clock setting is achieved by depressing the "CANCEL/
CLOCK" pushbutton first. Then key in the desired time of
day by using the "UP" and "DOWN" pushbutton keys. The
clock has a PM designation on the VFD for the PM time
setting.
The Clock/Timer also incorporates military timing capabili-
ties. In order to change from the standard AM/PM clock
operation to military time clock operation or vice versa,

the "STOP TIME" button. NOTE: The "UP" and "DOWN"
buttons must be pressed within five (5) seconds after

pressed within the five (5) second period, incorrect or no

Setting the Minute Timer
The minute timer can be used for precisely time baking or

mately five (5) seconds the timer display will revert
