The Kitchen Timer has three timing functions:

• It operates as a minute timer.

• It can be set to delay cooking.

• It can be used as a hold setting after defrosting.

The Kitchen Timer operates without microwave energy.

The Kitchen Timer can also be used to program a
“holding time” between microwave cooking functions.
The time can range from one second to 99 minutes
and 99 seconds. A holding or standing time may be
found in some of your own recipes or in a cookbook.

HOW TO USE THE KITCHEN TIMER

Step 1: Touch KITCHEN TIMER pad.

Step 2: Touch number pads 3, 0 and 0 (for 3 minutes
and no seconds).

Step 3: Touch START. Display shows time

counting down. The timer signals when
time is up.

To delay cooking up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds,
touch MICRO COOK and enter cook time. Touch
KITCHEN TIMER and enter number of minutes to
delay cooking. Touch START. Timer will count down
to zero and cooking will begin.

minutes, hold for 10 minutes and then Micro Cook for

Step 1: Take casserole from freezer and place in oven.

Step 3: Touch pads 1, 5, 0 and 0 for 15 minutes
defrosting time. Defrosting is automatically set 
on power level 3 but can be changed by touching 
the POWER LEVEL pad and the desired power 
level 1–10.

Step 4: Set standing or hold time by
touching KITCHEN TIMER.

Step 5: Touch 1, 0, 0 and 0 to hold for ten minutes.

Step 6: Touch MICRO COOK.

Step 7: Touch 2, 5, 0 and 0 for 25 minutes of

Step 8: Touch START. As each function is
automatically performed, oven display
shows instructions entered and the function.
When time is up, the oven signals and
flashes “End.”
