ten (10), and sixty (60) second and five (5) and ten
(10) minute increments. The ERC will automatically
initiate the timer countdown two (2) seconds after the
last entry. The timer will count down in seconds if the
entered time is one hour or less. If the entered time
is more than one hour the timer will count down in
minutes until reaching one hour on the display, then
the timer will count down in seconds for the remaining
time.
When the timer counts down to ":00", an alarm will
sound three (3) times to indicate that the timing
function is completed. Press the "MINUTE TIMER"
button or the "SET/CANCEL" button to cancel the
timer function. If the timer function is not cancelled,

bake operation approximately two (2) seconds after
the last temperature entry and "ON" will appear in the
