Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover
a shelf with
aluminum foil. This
will disturb the heat
circulation and result
in poor baking. A
smaller sheet of foil
may be used to catch
a spillover by
placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.

Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 30-40 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking
allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer.
Your baking results may also be affected.

TIMED BAKING
How to Time Bake
The oven control allows you to turn the oven on
or off automatically at specific times that you set.
Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and
you set it to turn off automatically) and Delay Start
and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically
at a later time and turn off at a preset Stop Time will
be described). NOTE: Before beginning, make sure the oven clock
shows the correct time of day.
To set the clock, first press the CLOCK pad.
Press the number pads until the correct time of day
is displayed. Press the START pad.
How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a
selected length of time. At the end of Cook Time,
the oven will turn off automatically.
1. Press the COOK TIME pad.
NOTE: If your recipe requires
preheating, you may need to add
additional time to the length of the
Cook Time.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the
desired length of baking time is displayed.
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until
the desired temperature is displayed in the lower
left display.
The words “TIME BAKE” and “COOK TIME”
will be displayed along with the oven temperature
you set and the cook time that you entered.
5. Press the START pad. The display shows the time
of day, the oven temperature that you set and the
Cook Time that you entered counting down.
6. The oven will continue to cook for the programmed
amount of time, then shut off automatically.
7. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad to turn the
oven off and to clear the display if
necessary. Remove the food from the
oven. Remember, foods that are left in
the oven continue cooking after the
controls are off.
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily such as milk, eggs,
fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed
to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
