How to set the oven for timed cooking
1. Enter the setup.
Press the pad for the cooking operation you want, eg. BAKE. The
default temperature is 350°F.
2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 375°F, by using the number
pads.
3. Press the COOKING TIME pad.
4. Enter the cooking time you want, eg. 45 min, by using the number
pads.
You can set the cooking time for any amount from 1 minute to 9
hours and 99 minutes.
5. Press the SET/START pad to begin cooking operation.
The temperature display will start to change once the oven
temperature reaches 150°F.
The oven will continue to cook until the set amount of time has
elapsed, then turn off automatically unless the keep warm feature
was set. (Refer to the section on the keep warm feature on page
41.)

good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry, and breads. After the oven has reached
the desired temperature, a long beep will sound 6 times.
CAUTION
Use caution with the timed cooking or delay timed cooking features. Use these
features when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods
that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the
refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than
1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is
completed. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.
