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.
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.
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. When the temperature drops below
140°F, bacteria can develop (after hold mode).
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.
The Three Ways to Use Delay 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 manu-
ally 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.
