Timers
WARNING
The timers on your oven do not turn the oven on or off. They
are only for timing purposes. When you want to turn the oven off
automatically, use the Delay Timed Cooking Features.
Touching the CANCEL · SECURE key does NOT reset or stop
the timers.
Your oven is equipped with two
built-in timers...
• You can use both of them at the same time.
• You can time from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes.
• The timer symbol appears on the display when one or
both of the timers is in use.
To use the timers on your oven...
1. Touch the TIMER 1 or TIMER 2 key.
2. Enter the hours and minutes to be timed on the keypad
and touch START. To enter 11 hours, 30 minutes, touch
1-1-3-0. To time 25 minutes, touch 2-5. When you touch
START, the time will appear on the display and begin to
count down.
When the timer is done counting down, 0:00 will appear
on the display. The timer number will flash on the display
and the alarm (a beeping sound) will sound. The alarms
for Timer 1 and Timer 2 have different patterns.

Delay Timed Cooking Features
If you want to set the oven to automatically turn itself on
or off at a later time, you can use the delay timed fea-
tures.
Things to Know About Delay Timed
Cooking
• The delay timed options work for all of the various cook
modes, except broil and convection broil.
• You may use the timers while using the delay timed
features. The timers do not have an effect on any of the
delay timed cooking options.
• The delay timed cycle can be canceled at any time by
pushing CANCEL · SECURE.
Food safety is an important consideration when using the delay
timed features. To avoid potential sickness and the spoiling of
food, take the following steps:
• Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the oven to
start cooking. Typical foods to avoid include: those containing
eggs and dairy products, cream soups and cooked or
uncooked meats, poultry and fish.
• Do not allow foods to remain in the oven after it turns
completely off. When the temperature drops below
140°F (60°C), bacteria can develop (after hold mode).
• 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.
The Three Ways to Use Delay Timed
Cooking
• Set the time the oven turns on (START TIME) and set
it to turn off at a later time using either the COOK TIME
key or the STOP TIME key.
• Set the START TIME only, then turn the oven off manu-
ally when you are done cooking.
• Turn the oven on manually and set it to turn off at a later
time using either the COOK TIME key or the STOP
TIME key.
About the 3 Delay Timed Settings
The delay timed cooking keys are:
• START TIME: The time the oven starts cooking
• COOK TIME: The amount of time the oven cooks
before it goes into hold mode.
• STOP TIME: The clock time the oven turns off and
goes into hold mode.
When you set 2 of the 3 above, the oven automatically
calculates the third.
