Automatic timers and clock.
(on some models)
The automatic timers and clock on your range are helpful devices that serve several purposes.
To Set the Clock
To set the clock, push the center knob in
and turn the clock hands clockwise to the
correct time.
NOTE:
The minute timer pointer will
move also; let the knob out and turn the
timer pointer to
OFF.
Timed Baking Uses the Automatic Timers
Using the automatic timers (the
DELAY
START
and
STOP TIME
dials), you can
set your oven to turn on and off
automatically. See the
Using the timed
baking and roasting features
section.
NOTE:
Before beginning, make sure the
oven clock shows the correct time of day.
To Set the Minute Timer
The minute timer has been combined
with the range clock. Use it to time all
your precise cooking operations. You will
recognize the minute timer as the pointer
which is different in color and shape than
the clock hands.
To set the minute timer, turn the center
knob counterclockwise, without pushing
in, until the pointer reaches the number
of minutes you wish to time. (Minutes 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 the knob, without pushing in,
until the pointer reaches OFF and the buzzer stops.
Questions and Answers
How can I use the minute timer to
make the surface cooking easier?
The minute timer will help you time
total cooking, which includes time to
boil food and change temperatures.
Do not judge cooking time by visible
steam only. Food will cook in covered
containers even though you can’t see
any steam.
Must the clock be set on correct time
of day when I wish to use the
automatic timers for baking?
Yes, if you wish to set the
DELAY
START
or
STOP TIME
dials to turn on
and off at set times during timed
functions.
Can I use the minute timer during
oven cooking?
The minute timer can be used
during any cooking function. The
automatic timers (
DELAY START
and
STOP TIME
dials) are used with the
TIME BAKE
function only.
Can I change the time of day on
the clock while I’m Time Baking
in the oven?
The time of day on the clock should
not be changed during any program
that uses the automatic timer. You
must either stop those programs or
wait until they are finished before
changing the time.
