Setting Cook Time
Adding a cook duration when baking is beneficial when a recipe requires a specific temperature and period of time to cook. Following the recipe cook time helps insure the best possible results.

•Preheat
•Bake
•Conv Bake
•Conv Roast
•Slow Cook

30 minutes:

•After the Cook Time feature has been activated, the display will go back to showing the hour of day. Press the Cook Time keypad to display any remaining cook time.
•Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies or muffins.
Setting Delay Start (with Cook Time)
Adding a cook duration along with specific start time gives the same benefits as the cook time option in addition to controlling exactly when the cooking process will begin and
end.

•Bake
•Conv Bake
•Conv Roast
•Slow Cook
•Clean
To set the Delay Start (with Cook Time) feature

Use caution with the DELAY START (Delayed Timed Bake) features. Use the automatic timer 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
