To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you program the oven.
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
cooking time at 325°F.
1. Press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.
2. For 3 hours of cooking time, press
the HOUR pad until “3:00” appears
in the display.
3. Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad.
4. Press the HOUR pad until “4:00” appears in the
display. The timer is now set to start baking in
2 hours, at 4:00.
5. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the desired
temperature (in this example 325°F.).
The oven is now set to start at 4:00 and cook
for 3 hours at a temperature of 325°F. At the
end of the 3 hour cooking time (7:00), the oven
will automatically turn off. When the oven
automatically turns off the AUTOMATIC OVEN
light will flash and the oven will signal. Turn the
oven control to OFF to stop the flashes and signal.
6. Remove the food from the oven. Remember,
even though the oven shuts off automatically,
foods continue cooking after controls are off.
NOTE:
• The low temperature zone of this range (between
WARM 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 that the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
