ELECTRONIC CLOCK/TIMER
The Clock/Timer offers a time-of-day clock with a PM
designation, a Minute Timer with up to nine (9) hours and
fifty-nine (59) minutes, and cook and stop functions. The
clock and timer are set up with up and down variable speed
"slew" entry.
The display board consists of a vacuum fluorescent display
(VFD) with pushbutton entry. There are six (6) pushbuttons:

"UP" and "DOWN" and "CANCEL/CLOCK". The "UP" and
"DOWN" pushbuttons are for time setting.
Figure 56 - Electronic Clock/Timer
The Clock/Timer is a digital clock with a minute timer and
automatic control cooking cycle. The clock is set via the
function setting and slew controls. When power is con-
nected to the unit, or a power failure of longer than three (3)
seconds occur, the display will show "12:00" flashing at the
rate of 1/2 second ON and 1/2 second OFF.
Setting the Time-of-Day
The clock setting is achieved by depressing the "CANCEL/
CLOCK" pushbutton first. Then key in the desired time of
day by using the "UP" and "DOWN" pushbutton keys. The
clock has a PM designation on the VFD for the PM time
setting.
The Clock/Timer also incorporates military timing capabili-
ties. In order to change from the standard AM/PM clock
operation to military time clock operation or vice versa,
simultaneously press "COOK/CLEAN TIME" button and
the "STOP TIME" button. NOTE: The "UP" and "DOWN"
buttons must be pressed within five (5) seconds after
selecting or pressing any timing function button ("CAN-

"STOP TIME"). If the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons are not
pressed within the five (5) second period, incorrect or no
programming will occur.
Setting the Minute Timer
The minute timer can be used for precisely time baking or

displayed, and release the "UP" button.
The minute timer is now programmed. After approxi-
mately five (5) seconds the timer display will revert

down the programmed time. An alarm will sound
when the timer reaches "0:00". Press the "MINUTE
TIMER" button to silence the alarm. To check the
remaining time in the program, simply press the
