Using the Oven Control (cont’d)

What's the difference between TIMED and DELAYED cooking?

When using TIMED cooking, the oven begins to heat immediately after the oven control is set. Then, the oven cooks for the desired length of time set. When using DELAYED cooking, the oven begins to cook later in the day. Set the time that you want to stop cooking and how long you want to cook. The oven calculates the time to begin cooking and cooks for the specified length of time.

How Far Ahead Can I Set the Time?

Cook time and end time can be set up to 11 hours and 59 minutes ahead.

When cooking time has elapsed, an end of cycle signal sounds, oven automatically turns off and END displays. Oven signal sounds 4 times, then once every 10 seconds until OVEN CANCEL is pressed. Broil can not be set to Timed or Delayed.

How much time is left?

For a delayed bake cycle, the stop time displays continuously during the delayed bake cycle. For a timed cooking cycle, the amount of time remaining displays continuously. Clock (time of day) cannot be viewed when using timed baking or a delayed baking cycle.

!CAUTION

To avoid the risk of food poisoning due to bacterial growth and production of toxins, never hold meat, milk, fish, or eggs for more than 2 hours before cooking.
