How to Set a Delayed Start and Automatic Stop

The oven will turn on at the time of day you set,
cook for a specific length of time and then turn off
automatically.

Make sure the clock shows the correct 
time of day.

Touch the 

CONVECTION BAKE

MULTI/1 RACK

pad once for multi-

rack convection baking. This mode
is used for cooking food items on
more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or
more racks) at the same time in
convection bake. See 

Multi-Rack

Baking

section for more information.

Touch the 

CONVECTION BAKE

MULTI/1 RACK

pad twice for one rack

convection baking. This mode is
used for cooking food items on only
one rack in convection bake.

Touch the 

CONVECTION ROAST

pad

for convection roasting.

Touch the number pads to set the
oven temperature.

Touch the 

COOKING TIME

pad.

NOTE: 

If your recipe requires preheating, you may

need to add additional time to the length of the
cooking time.

Touch the number pads to set the
desired length of cooking time. The
minimum cooking time you can set 
is 1 minute.

The oven temperature that you set
and the cooking time that you
entered will be in the display.

Touch the 

DELAY START

pad.

Touch the number pads to set the
time of day you want the oven to
turn on and start cooking.

Touch the 

START

pad.

NOTE: 

An attention tone will sound if you are 

using timed baking or roasting and do not touch 
the 

START

pad.

NOTE: 

If you would like to check the times you

have set, touch the 

DELAY START

pad to 

check the start time you have set, or touch the

COOKING TIME

pad to check the length of

cooking time you have set.

When the oven turns 

ON

at the time 

of day you set, the display will show 
the cooking time countdown and the
changing temperature starting at 100°F.
(The temperature display will start to
change once the oven temperature
reaches 100°F.) When the oven reaches
the temperature you set, 3 beeps will
sound.

NOTE: 

If the Auto Recipe

Conversion Feature 

is on, it will automatically reduce the set regular
baking temperature by 25°F to the appropriate
convection temperature. See Auto Recipe

Conversion in the Special Features section.

The oven will continue to cook for the
programmed amount of time, then shut 
off automatically, unless the 

WARM

feature was set. See the 

How to Set the

Oven for Warming

section.

After the oven turns off, the end-of-cycle
tone will sound.

Touch the 

CLEAR/OFF

pad to clear 

the display if necessary. Remove 
the food from the oven. Remember,
even though the oven shuts off
automatically, food left in the oven 
will continue cooking after the oven
turns off.
