The maximum setting on the timer is 9 hours 
and 59 minutes.

Touch the 

KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF

pad.

Touch the 

+

If you make a mistake, touch the 

KITCHEN

TIMER ON/OFF

pad and begin again.

Touch the

pad. The time

will start counting down, although 
the display does not change until

the

control will beep 3 times followed by
one beep every 6 seconds until the

KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF

pad is

touched.

The timer is a minute timer only.

pad, the display reverts to the original

setting. If this happens, touch the 

CLOCK

pad twice and reenter the time of day.

of day.

the clock display.

To Reset the Timer

If the display is still showing the time
remaining, you may change it by touching

you want appears in the display.

pad

and then touching the 

+

or 

pads to
