ELECTRONIC CLOCK/TIMER

The Clock/Timer offers a time-of-day clock with a PM designation, a Minute Timer with up to nine (9) hours and fifty-nine (59) minutes, and cook and stop functions. The clock and timer are set up with up and down variable speed "slew" entry.

The display board consists of a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) with pushbutton entry. There are six (6) pushbuttons: "MINUTE TIMER", "COOK/CLEAN TIME", "STOP TIME", "UP" and "DOWN" and "CANCEL/CLOCK". The "UP" and "DOWN" pushbuttons are for time setting.

When power is con- nected to the unit, or a power failure of longer than three (3) seconds occur, the display will show "12:00" flashing at the rate of 1/2 second ON and 1/2 second OFF.

Setting the Time-of-Day

The clock setting is achieved by depressing the "CANCEL/ CLOCK" pushbutton first. Then key in the desired time of day by using the "UP" and "DOWN" pushbutton keys. The clock has a PM designation on the VFD for the PM time setting.
