How do I change the time on my oven?

Most modern-day ovens have a clock and a timer button alongside two up-down or arrow buttons to set the time with.

If you press the clock button your clock display should come up and by using the arrows or up-down buttons you will be able to change the time.

Once you are finished, push the clock button once again and you're ready.

Some ovens have one button for the clock and timer in which case you will need to activate the clock setting feature either by pushing the button continuously or by tapping it twice.

Once you have the clock numbers flashing, you should be ready to set the time right.

Some older models have a clock knob which makes the time change a little bit more complicated.

First, you need to check if the knob has any button near it which you will need to push and hold down.

Then you have to turn the knob in order to change the time.

How do I change the time on my microwave?

Time on different manufactured microwaves is changed differently but here are some ways which might work on yours.

  • If you have a clock button, press and hold it for three seconds. When you hear a beep, enter the time you want to set and then press the clock button again to choose between AM and PM. Press the start button and your time is changed.
  • Long press number five for three to four seconds. When you hear a beep just set the time you want to and the time is changed.
  • Another way is hold the clock button until you see HR 12 displayed on the timer. Set the time that you would like and press the clock button again.

What else do I need to change the time on?

As we said before, make sure that you change the time on every single clock that you might own.
