Delay Timed Cooking Features
If you want to set the oven to automatically turn itself on
or off at a later time, you can use the delay timed fea-
tures.
WARNING
Food safety is an important consideration when using
the delay timed features. To avoid potential sickness
and the spoiling of food, take the following steps:
• Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the
oven to start cooking. Typical foods to avoid include
those containing eggs and dairy products, cream
soups and cooked or uncooked meats, poultry and
fish.
• Do not allow foods to remain in the oven after
it turns completely off (after hold mode). When
the temperature drops below 140°F, bacteria can
develop.
• If cooking will not begin immediately, place only
very cold or frozen food into the oven. Most
unfrozen foods should never stand in the oven for
more than two hours before cooking begins.
Things to Know About Delay Timed Cooking
• The delay timed options work for all of the various
cook modes, except broil and convection broil.
• You may use the timers while using the delay timed
features. The timers do not have an effect on any of
the delay timed cooking options.
• The delay timed cycle can be canceled at any time by
pushing CANCEL · SECURE.
The three delay timed cooking keys are:
• START TIME: The time the oven starts cooking.
• DURATION: The amount of time the oven cooks
before it goes into hold mode (see facing page for
description).
• STOP TIME: The clock time the oven turns off and
goes into hold mode.
When you set 2 of the 3 above, the oven automatically
calculates the third.
Ways to Use Delayed Timed Cooking
• Set the time the oven turns on (START TIME) and
set it to turn off at a later time using either the
DURATION key or the STOP TIME key.
• Set the START TIME only, then turn the oven off
manually when you are done cooking.
• Turn the oven on manually and set it to turn off at
a later time using either the DURATION key or the
STOP TIME key.
