Firstly, approach the cooker, confidently and with a glint of resolve in your eye. Press the ‘plus’ and ‘minus’ buttons simultaneously, wait for a few seconds and then release them.
The LED display will begin to flash with a ‘ ‘ symbol between the numbers. Use this window to adjust the time, using the plus button to move upwards, and the minus button to wind time back a notch or two (enjoy the curious sense of power at this point, as you appear to be reversing time…).
Once you’re there, and the time is correct, simply wait for thirty seconds and resist touching any other timer buttons and functions! This brief pause will allow the time to set, and then operate correctly. You’ve done it! Have a glass of wine to celebrate.
You can now the set the alarm tone from three choices, using the minus button. Press it to hear the first option. Release and press again to hear the second tone, and repeat the process to hear the third tone. To pick the tone you like, simply release the minus button after you’ve heard it – the tone will automatically select.
For a minute minder – press the function button, just once. The bell symbol will begin to flash, giving you a 5 second time frame to set the time duration. Do this using the plus and minus buttons – and the minute minder will be set. Upon timer countdown, the alarm you’ve selected will ring. You can also cancel the tone by pressing any buttons – similarly to cancel the minute minder function, press the function button and plus / minus buttons simultaneously.
