NOTE: Foods that spoil easily—such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork—should not be allowed to sit for
more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that
the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
How to Set an Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

selected length of time. At the end of the cooking

the desired baking time. Maximum

time that you entered will be
displayed.

The display shows the oven temperature
that you set and the cooking time
countdown. The display starts changing
