Indicator arrows (LED) are aligned over each of the four (4)
push button function knobs and associated with that func-
tion. Each indicator arrow is lighted during operation of that
function and goes off at the end of that function. With the
exception of the self-clean button, pressing in any one of
the three (3) buttons on the left lights the respective
indicator arrow which then allows only three (3) or four (4)
seconds to set the time on the display, then the display
reverts to time-of-day if nothing is entered. To set time-of-
day in the display, simultaneously press in the "MIN/SEC"
and "BAKE HOURS" buttons while rotating the "SET
TIME" knob to the time-of-day. The time-of-day clock has
no AM and PM indicator.
