(continued)

How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop

Quick Reminder:

1.Press the COOK TIME pad.

2.Press the + or – pad to set the Cooking Time.

3.Press the STOP TIME pad.

4.Press the + or – pad to set the length of Cooking Time.

5.Press the BAKE pad.

6.Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature appears in the display.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

You can set the oven control to delay-start the oven, cook for a specific length of time and then turn off automatically.

For example: Let’s say it’s 2:00 and dinner time is shortly after 7:00. The recipe suggests 3 hours baking time at 325°F. Here’s how:

1.Press the COOK TIME pad.

TIME

2.For 3 hours of cooking time, press the + pad until “3:00” appears in the display.

3.Press the STOP TIME pad.

STOP

TIME

“5:00” appears in the display and “STOP TIME” flashes. The control automatically sets the Stop Time by adding the Cook Time to the time of day. In this example, the time of day is 2:00 and the Cook Time is 3 hours. Adding 3 hours to the time of day equals 5:00.

4.Change the Stop Time from 5:00 to 7:00 by pressing the INCREASE pad until “7:00” appears in the display.

5.Press the BAKE pad.

BAKE

6.Press the + or – pad until “325°” is displayed.

At 4:00, the oven will turn on automatically. The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. The Cook Time will begin to count down. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. The oven will continue to cook for the programmed 3 hours and shut off automatically at 7:00.

7.Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to clear the display if necessary. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, even though the oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after the controls are off.

NOTE:

The low temperature zone of this range (between 150°F. and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.

Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
