An often-overlooked component of an oven is the clock. It does so much more than tell time. For instance, one of the most popular brands, Beko, has models that require a digital clock to be set so the oven can start cooking.
The LED display will not only tell you the correct time but also be helpful as a digital timer. The key is to make sure that you set it when you first buy the cooker or after you lose power and the clock resets.
Before you do anything, you must know how to set the cooking time and time delay features, enabling you to cook your meals at a time that best suits your busy family’s schedule. This guide will teach you to set the clock correctly to get the most out of your Beko oven.

FAQ
Is it normal for my oven timer to display “AUTO”, “A”, or an arrow sign on the LED display?
The “AUTO”, “A”, or an arrow sign between two vertical lines on your oven timer display indicates that your electronic timer has been programmed to turn off automatically at a specific time. To use your cooker manually, you must cancel the timer function first. Press the timer button until the timer symbol disappears from the LED display. See your user manual for mor einformation.
Why is the clock symbol flashing on my display?
When the clock symbol flashes on your Beko cooker LED display, the time setting has been reset. This can occur when there is a power outage. You must set the oven’s clock to the correct time to remove the flashing symbol. Once the clock is set, the flashing symbol will disappear from the display.
