Troubleshooting
Sand is not flowing evenly
Ensure the timer is placed on a completely flat, level surface. If sand persists in sticking, gently tap the side of the plastic casing to dislodge any static buildup.
Visible dust inside the clear housing
The exterior casing is sealed to protect the glass. If dust appears on the outside, simply wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth; do not attempt to open the casing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The sand timer arrives ready for immediate use; simply place it on a flat, stable surface. Because it is a gravity-based device, ensure the surface is level to allow the sand to flow evenly through the aperture. To care for your timer, wipe the plastic exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the unit in water. While the plastic barrier is shatterproof, it is not indestructible; handle the device with care to ensure the inner glass bulb remains intact for long-term use. Keep away from extreme heat sources that might warp the plastic casing.
