Timed/Delayed Timed Cooking

This function allows the user to finish and/or start a cooking cycle automatically. It is especially useful for preparing meals in advance, or cooking while you are at work or play. Timed Cooking can only be used with Standard Bake, Pure Convections and Convection Bake modes. lt will not function in the Broil modes.

NOTE

For the double ovens, both the upper and lower chambers can be set for Delay Timed Cooking. However, both chambers must have the same “COOK TIMES” and “STOP TIMES”.

WARNING

Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed cooking modes. To avoid potential sickness and spoiling of food, take the following steps:

1.Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the cooking cycle to begin. Typical foods to avoid include those containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups, and cooked or uncooked meats, poultry and fish stand in the oven for more than two hours before cooking begins.

2.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.

3.Do not allow foods to remain in the oven more than one hour after completion of the cooking cycle. When the temperature drops below 140˚, bacteria can develop.

To use Timed Cooking, follow these steps: (This mode will begin cooking immediately and turn off at the desired time.)

1.Position oven rack(s) at the proper height(s).

2. Place the food onto the center of the oven rack(s).

3. Select the desired cooking mode and temperature.

4. Press the “COOK TIME” pad and “TIME” will appear in the clock display. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad to set the length of time that the food will be cooked. The “COOK TIME” can be set from 5 minutes to 11 hours, 50 minutes.

5. After the “COOK TIME” has expired, the clock will beep three times, and “Hold”

will be displayed. If cooking in a convection mode, the convection fan will also turn off at this time. While in “Hold” mode, the oven temperature will be maintained at 150˚F for a

period of two hours. “Hold” mode can be cancelled by pressing the “CANCEL•SECURE” touch pad. The cooling fan will continue to run depending upon the length and temperature of the cooking process.

To use Timed Cooking, follow these steps: (This mode allows the cooking process to start at a later time and finish at the desired time.)

1.Follow steps 1 thru 4 in the above instructions for Timed Cooking.

2.Press the “STOP TIME” touch pad, and “STOP” will appear in the clock display. Press the “TIME•TEMP” “+” pad to enter the time of day that you wish the oven to shut off. “DELAY” will now be displayed. The oven will calculate the correct “START TIME.” After the “COOK TIME” has expired, the clock will beep three times, and “Hold” will be displayed. If cooking in a convection mode, the convection fan will also turn off at this time. While in “Hold” mode, the oven temperature will be maintained at 150˚F for a period of two hours. “Hold” mode can be cancelled by pressing the “CANCEL•SECURE” touch pad. The cooling fan will continue to run depending upon the length and temperature of the cooking process.
