You can set either12 hour clock or 24 hour clock.
In the following example I will show you how to set the time for 10:30 when using the 24 clock. 
Make sure that you have removed all packaging from your oven.

When your oven is plugged in for the
first time or when power resumes after
a “0” will be shown in the display; you
will have to reset the clock.

If the clock (or display) shows any
strange looking symbols, unplug your
oven from the electrical socket and
plug it back in and reset the clock.

Make sure that you have correctly installed your oven as described
earlier in this book.
