CLOCK TIMER (Non-Solid State)

The oven timer is an electric time-of-day clock, minute minder, and an automatic switch which controls the opera- tion of the bake portion of the oven and self-clean duration of the oven.

Since the automatic switch is in series with the oven circuit, many customers complaints on the operation of the oven are due to a customers lack of knowledge of the operation of the timer. The users manual gives complete information of the use of the timer.

TIMER SWITCH

1.Set the selector switch for "TIMED COOK" and the oven thermostat to 350°.

2.Set the time for automatic operation - Delayed Start - by pushing in on the Start Timer Knob and set the start time indicator about one hour ahead of the timer on the clock. (See Figure 69.)

3.Push in on the Stop Time Knob and set the Stop Time Indicator to approximately two (2) hours ahead of the time on the clock. (See Figure 69.) This clock assembly may use the analog or conventional clock face and may be configured differently. However, all test procedures are identical.

6.If the oven burner does not turn "ON" and "OFF" after conducting test in instructions one (1) through five (5) then proceed as follows:

7.Be certain the wires are connected as shown in the appropriate wiring diagram.

8.Conduct a continuity test across the switch contacts of the clock timer. (See Figure 70.)
