minutes you wish to time. (Minutes
are marked, up to 60, in the center
ring on the clock. ) At the end of the
set time, a buzzer sounds to tell you
time is up. Turn knob, without
pushing in, until pointer reaches
OFF and buzzer stops.

Automatic Timer
Using the Automatic Timer, you can
TIME BAKE with the oven turning
on immediately and turning off at
the Stop Time set, or you can set
both DELAY START and
TIME dials to automatically start
and stop oven at a later time of day.
It takes the worry out of not being
home to start or stop the oven.
Setting the dials for TIME BAKE
is explained in detail on page 14.
