Step 2" Close the oven door.
Step 3: Touch COOK TIME pad..

play and "OVEN TIME" flashes..
Step 4" Press & hold or tap INCREASE pad until "3:00" appears in the display (Tap to change time on display 5 minutes a tap. Press & hold to change the time 10 minutes at a time)
Cook Time of 3 hours now appears in display..
Step 5: Touch STOP TIME pad
"5:00" appears on display and "STOP TIME" flashes.

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

Step 8: Remove food from oven. Remember, even though oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after 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.
When setting your oven for a delay start, never let foods such as dairy products, fish, meat, poultry, etc. sit for more than 2 hours before actual cooking begins. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteri& Be sure the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed bacteria growth
