Installation

Mode d'emploi
To ensure proper operation and accurate timing, follow these steps:
- Wind the Timer: Turn the dial clockwise completely to the 60-minute mark. This action winds the internal spring mechanism, which is essential for the timer to function correctly and for the bell to ring.
- Définir l'heure souhaitée : After winding, turn the dial counter-clockwise to your desired time setting, anywhere between 0 and 60 minutes.
- Temps de surveillance : The red segment on the dial will visually decrease as time elapses, providing a clear indication of the remaining duration.
- Alarme: Once the set time has passed, the timer will sound a bell to alert you.
Remarque importante : Always wind the timer fully to 60 minutes first, even if you only need a short duration (e.g., 5 minutes). Failing to do so may result in the timer not ringing or being inaccurate.
Entretien et nettoyage
- To clean the timer, wipe its surface with a soft, damp tissu.
- N’utilisez pas de nettoyants abrasifs, de solvants ou de produits chimiques agressifs, car ils peuvent endommager la finition et les composants internes.
- Ensure the timer is completely dry before storage or next use.
- Store in a dry place away from direct heat sources.
