Using Time-Delay Cooking
This feature lets you set the oven to turn itself on/off.
About Time-Delay Cooking
• Time-delay can be used for all but the Broil modes.
• You may use the timers while using time-delay cooking.
• Cancel a time-delay cycle any time by tapping CANCEL/SECURE.
WARNING
Food safety is an important consideration in time-delay cooking. To
avoid sickness and spoilage, take these steps:
• Avoid using foods that will spoil before the oven turns on (e.g., foods
containing eggs, dairy products, cream soups, meat).
• Do not leave food in the oven after it turns off. When the temp
drops below 140°F (60°C), bacteria can develop.
• Place only very cold or frozen food in the oven. Most unfrozen foods
should rest in the oven no more than 2 hours before cooking starts.
3 Ways to Use Time-Delay Cooking
The keys are used for time-delay cooking.
• START TIME: The time when the oven starts cooking.
• COOK TIME: The amount of time the oven cooks before enter-
ing Hold mode.
• STOP TIME: The time when the oven turns off and enters Hold
mode.
When you set two of these times, the oven automatically calcu-
lates the third.
• Set the time the oven turns on (START TIME), and set it to turn off
later using either COOK TIME or STOP TIME.
• Set START TIME only, then turn the oven off manually when you
are done cooking.
• Turn the oven on manually, and set it to turn off later using either
COOK TIME or STOP TIME.
About Hold Mode
• When you use COOK TIME or STOP TIME to set the oven to stop
cooking, it enters Hold mode (HLd appears on the display) when
it reaches the end of the set cook time. The oven keeps the
temperature at 150°F (66°C) for 2 hours.
• Touch CANCEL/SECURE to turn the oven completely off.
• To avoid sickness, do not leave foods in the oven after hold
mode turns off.
Using Time-Delay Cooking
NOTE
Delay-timed cooking cannot be used in Sabbath mode.
1. Adjust the racks as needed, and put the food in the oven.
2. Select the cooking mode (except the Broil modes).
3. Enter a cook temperature.
If you want to turn the oven on immediately and turn off auto-
matically at a later time, go to Step 5.
OPERATING THE OVEN
4. Tap START TIME, and enter the time you want the oven to start.
For 12:35, tap 1-2-3-5. You may enter a time up to 22 hrs and 59
mins ahead of the present time; tap # to change AM or PM.
5. (To set the stop time or cooking duration) Tap either STOP
TIME or COOK TIME (otherwise, go to Step 6).
COOK TIME lets you determine when the oven stops cooking
by entering the amount of time the oven is on. STOP TIME lets
you determine when the oven stops cooking by entering the
clock time. Either key achieves the same result.
6. TAP START/CONTINUE.
If you set a START TIME, the oven starts at that time.
If you entered a COOK TIME or STOP TIME, the oven cooks until
the set time, then enters Hold mode.
IMPORTANT
The regular pre-heat feature (see Before Cooking, Pg 4) cannot
be used for time-delay cooking. The time needed to reach the cook
temperature must be added to the cook time, which increases with
the cook temp and amount of food.
More About Time-Delay Cooking
When the oven is in Time-Delay mode, push:
• CLOCK to view the time
• START TIME to view the set start time
• STOP TIME to view the set stop time
• COOK TIME to view the set cook time.
Using the Meat-Temperature Probe
When you cook foods like roasts and poultry, taking the internal
temperature is the best way to verify that the food is fully cooked.
The oven comes with a meat probe that lets you cook food to the
exact temperature required. The probe measures temperatures of
100°F (38°C) to 200°F (93°C).
WARNING
• To avoid burn injuries, use hot pads or oven mitts to handle,
connect, and detach the probe when the oven is hot.
• Use the handle to insert/remove the probe’s skewer and to connect
it to the oven. Pulling by the cable could damage the probe. To
avoid breaking the probe, ensure the food is completely defrosted
before inserting the skewer.
• Never leave the probe in the oven when you are not cooking
anything, especially during the self-clean cycle.
• Using a 3rd-party probe may damage the probe/oven.
NOTE
• The meat-temp probe does not work in Broil and Sabbath modes. If
you plug in the probe when in Broil and Sabbath modes, the probe
symbol blinks, indicating an error.
• If you detach the probe after tapping PROBE, the probe symbol
blinks, and the OPn error appears on the display.
1. Insert the skewer in the thickest part of the prepared meat.
