Timer Feature

NOTE:
1. When each stage finishes, a two-beep

signal sounds. At the end of the pro-
gram, the oven will beep five times.

2. If the oven door is opened during

Stand Time, Kitchen Timer or Delay
Time, the time on the display will con-
tinue to count down.

3. Stand time and Delay Start cannot be

programmed before any automatic
Function. This is to prevent the starting
temperature of food from rising before
defrosting or cooking begins. A change
in starting temperature could cause
inaccurate results.

4. The maximum programmable time of

Standing Time, Kitchen Time or Delay
Time is up to 90 minutes.

CAUTION:
If oven lamp is lit while using the timer
feature, the oven is incorrectly pro-
grammed. Stop oven immediately and 
re-read instructions.
