To set the clock on a Kenmore oven, follow these steps:
1. Locate the “Clock” or “Settings” button on the oven’s control panel.
2. Press and hold the “Clock” or “Settings” button until the clock display starts blinking or shows a time.
3. Use the “+” or “-” buttons to adjust the hours and minutes.
4. Press the “Clock” or “Settings” button again to save the new time.
5. The clock should now display the correct time.
Note: The exact steps may vary depending on the specific model of your Kenmore oven. Refer to the oven’s manual for detailed instructions if needed.
If you own a Kenmore oven, it is likely that you already know the basics – how to change the temperature, broil, and turn the light on and off. Another basic function of the oven that you should familiarize yourself with is how to change and set the clock. The clock on your oven can be a useful tool when you are doing dishes, cooking, or having breakfast in the kitchen. You may also need to use the kitchen timer function of the clock.
Setting the Time on a Kenmore Oven
The first step to set the clock on your Kenmore oven is to check the current time on another device. It is recommended to use a clock that is set to the atomic clock for the most accurate time. This can be your cell phone or a computer.
The Kenmore oven manual instructs users to press the “clock” button on the control panel. Look for the numbered buttons to the right of the oven’s clock display. This is where you will change the time. Enter the current time and press “start.”
Next, you will need to choose between a 12-hour or 24-hour system. Hold down the “clock” button for six seconds. After six seconds, the “CLO” indicator will change to either “12 HR” or “24 HR.” To select your preferred option, press the “FLEX CLEAN” button and then press start to confirm your choice.
Using the Kitchen Timer on a Kenmore Oven
The clock on your Kenmore oven also functions as a kitchen timer. You might need to use the timer when you are cooking on the stovetop or in the oven and want a reminder when a cooking time should be changed or when an item should be removed from the oven.
To adjust the kitchen timer on your oven, press the “timer” button. Then, use the number pads (the same buttons used to set the clock) to enter the desired time for the timer. Keep in mind that the time is entered in minutes, not seconds. The timer display may show “0:05,” but it means a five-minute timer.
Once you have set the timer to the desired time, press “start.” The timer will start counting down. When it is time to remove your food from the oven or take it off the stove, the oven will sound a three-beep alarm to alert you. Note that the timer does not turn off the oven, but it notifies you to take out your food.
Changing the Timer Setting
If you realize that the kitchen timer is not set correctly (e.g., your brownies need more time to bake), you can easily change it. Press the “timer” button before the time runs out to cancel the previous setting.
Once you have canceled the previous setting, you can set the timer again with the new desired time. This can be especially useful when you are getting used to a new oven that may cook things faster or slower than what you are accustomed to.
