the oven on and off automatically at a later time than

Step 5: Touch STOP TIME pad

cook for the programmed 3 hours and will shut off
automatically at 7:00.
Step 8: Remove food from oven. Remember, even
though oven shuts off automatically, foods continue
cooking after controls are off..
Note: The low temperature zone of this range
(between 150°F and 200°F) is available to keep hot
cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer
than two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
When setting your oven for a delay start, never let
foods such as dairy products, fish, meat, poultry, etc.
sit for more than 2 hours before actual cooking
begins. Room temperature promotes the growth of
harmful bacteri& Be sure the oven light is off because
heat from the bulb will speed bacteria growth
