FAQs
Does the timer come with a battery?
Yes, one AAA battery is included with the timer.
Can the timer be mounted on a stainless steel fridge?
It depends on the alloy; if the stainless steel surface is magnetic, it will hold, but some premium stainless surfaces are not magnetic.
Is the timer waterproof?
No, it is not waterproof. Keep it away from water and steam to prevent internal damage.
What are the dimensions of the device?
The timer measures 70mm in height, 70mm in width, and 25mm in depth.
How do I reset the timer?
Most models allow a reset by pressing the minute and second buttons simultaneously, or by cycling through the digits back to zero.
Troubleshooting
Timer screen is blank or faint
Check if the AAA battery is seated correctly or replace it with a fresh battery.
Timer will not stick to the appliance
Ensure the surface is clean, free of grease, and made of ferrous metal; some stainless steel alloys are not magnetic.
Alarm volume seems low
Check for debris blocking the speaker holes on the rear of the device and ensure the device is not covered by towels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, open the battery compartment on the rear of the device and insert the included AAA battery. The timer is compatible with any clean, flat surface for the stand or any magnetic metallic surface for the rear mount. To maintain the device, wipe the screen and casing with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth. Avoid submerging the unit in water or exposing it to excessive steam, as it is not waterproof. If the display begins to fade, replace the AAA battery to restore full contrast and volume levels.
