HOW TO USE THE KITCHEN TIMER
The Kitchen Timer
Using a Holding Time
The Kitchen Timer has 3 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 1 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 Time a 3-Minute Phone Call

Step 2: Touch number pad 3 and MINUTE pad
(for 3 minutes and no seconds).
Step 3: Touch START. Display shows time counting

To delay cooking up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds,

defrosting time. (Defrosting is automatically set

Step 4: Set standing or hold time by
touching KITCHEN TIMER pad.
Step 5: Touch 1, 0 and MINUTE to hold for
