How to change the time on your oven for daylight saving

Most ovens with a timer function have minute + and – buttons or a dial, which are also used to set the clock. Awkwardly, you may also need to hold down another button, which may not be the most logical such as “menu” or “cook” . Otherwise, you might end up setting an unwelcome 3am cooking timer.

Here are directions for how to change the time on ovens from several major brands (note: these instructions may not apply to all models).
