When the oven is first plugged in 1:01 will appear on the display. To set the time of day press the clock pad, then the clear
pad, enter the time required using the numeral pads, then press clock again. The time is set and two dots will flash
between the hours and the minutes every other second. The timer can be reset if necessary following the above process. If
the oven is unplugged, or in the event of a power failure, the time will have to be reset. The time of day can be checked
during a cooking process by pressing the clock pad, and the time will be displayed for 5 seconds.

At the end of the programmed cooking time the timer will return to 0. Three beeps will sound, the light will go off inside the
