How to use

Insert the required AAA battery into the compartment following the polarity markings. Use the timer's buttons to set the desired minutes and seconds, then start the countdown with the start button. The device will count down to zero and emit an audible alert when the set time has elapsed. After use, switch the timer off if applicable or allow it to remain in standby until the next use. Keep the unit dry and avoid exposing it to high humidity or direct heat sources.

Usage recommendations

For consistent timing results, check the battery condition regularly and replace the AAA battery when the display dims or the alert tone weakens. Place the timer on a stable, heat-resistant surface and avoid exposing it to splashes or steam. Use the full 99-minute range for longer processes by combining cycles if a recipe exceeds the single-run limit.
