CLOCK TIMER (Non-Solid State)
The oven timer is an electric time-of-day clock, minute
minder, and an automatic switch which controls the opera-
tion of the bake portion of the oven and self-clean duration
of the oven.
Since the automatic switch is in series with the oven circuit,
many customers complaints on the operation of the oven
are due to a customers lack of knowledge of the operation
of the timer. The users manual gives complete information
of the use of the timer.
TIMER SWITCH
1. Set the selector switch for "TIMED COOK" and the
oven thermostat to 350°.
2. Set the time for automatic operation - Delayed Start
- by pushing in on the Start Timer Knob and set the
start time indicator about one hour ahead of the timer
on the clock. (See Figure 69.)
3. Push in on the Stop Time Knob and set the Stop Time
Indicator to approximately two (2) hours ahead of the
time on the clock. (See Figure 69.) This clock
assembly may use the analog or conventional clock
face and may be configured differently. However, all
test procedures are identical.
