OVEN CONTROL, CLOCK AND TIMER

Clock

To Set the Clock

The clock must be set to the correct time of day for
the automatic oven timing functions to work properly.
The time of day cannot be changed during a Timed
Baking or Self-Cleaning cycle.

1. Press the CLOCK pad.

2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE

pad to set the time of day.

CLOCK

To Reset Timer

To Cancel Timer

If “TIMER” is displayed, press the INCREASE or
DECREASE pad until the desired time is reached.

If “TIMER” is not displayed, press the TIMER
ON/OFF pad first, then follow the instructions above
to set the timer.

Press and hold the TIMER ON/OFF pad until the
word “TIMER” disappears from the display.

Power Outage

After a power outage, when power is restored the
display will flash and time shown will no longer be
correct—for example, after a 5-minute power
interruption the clock will be 5 minutes slow. 

The display flashes until the clock is reset. All other
functions that were in operation when the power went
out will have to be programmed again.

End of Cycle Tones

Display Messages

The end of cycle tone is three short beeps followed by 
1 beep that repeats every six seconds until you press
any operation. If you would like to eliminate the
repeating beeps, press and hold the CLEAR/OFF pad
for 10 seconds.

To return the end of cycle tone to the repeating beeps,
press and hold the CLEAR/OFF pad for 10 seconds.

• If “clean” appears in the display, DOOR flashes

and the oven control signals, you set the self-clean
cycle and did not shut the door.

• If “LOCK” only appears in the display, the 

oven door is in the locked position. BAKE, BROIL
and COOK TIME cannot be set if the door is in the
locked position.

Timer

To Set the Timer

The timer does not control oven
operations. The maximum setting
on the timer is 9 hours and 55
minutes.

1. Press the 

TIMER ON/OFF pad.

2. Press the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad to set the
amount of time on the timer.

The timer will start automatically
within a few seconds of releasing
the pad. 

The timer, as you are setting it,
will display seconds until 1 minute
is reached. Then it will display
minutes and seconds until 60
minutes is reached.

After 60 minutes, it will display
hours (“HR” now appears in
display) and minutes until the
maximum time of 9 hours and 
55 minutes is reached.
