How to use delay baking option

What is the model and manufacturer of the machine?

so if you put it in regular bake cycle and hit start, what happens? will it actually heat up and proceed as normal, or does it keep asking for delay time input? if it heats up like normal and you can cook with it, there is a possibility of a faulty keypad, which could automatically activate the delay option. If it doesn't heat up, more than likely a control board issue. If you would like more detailed help, look for me on 6ya

Our Whirlpool oven just started doing the same thing!!!! The Delay Start Time (setting it for one minute ahead) and then Start works just fine.  But we fried the tops of three loaves of homemade bread!!!!
Is Whirlpool just a bad brand for ovens?

The control is automatically set to turn off the oven after 12 hours baking or 3 hours broiling should you forget and leave the oven on. If you want to remvoe this feature do the following steps: 1. Press and hold, at the same time, the BAKE and BROIL buttons for 3 seconds, until the display shows "SF". 2. Press the DELAY START TIME button. The display shows "12Shdn" for 12 hour shut off. Press the DELAY START TIME button again. The display will show "no Shdn" for no shut off. 3. Press the START button.
