How to Use

For the timer to ring correctly, you must fully wind it up first.*

1. To activate the alarm, turn the dial clockwise all the way to the 55-minute mark. This winds the internal spring.

2. Next, turn the dial counter-clockwise to the desired time you wish to count down.

3. The timer will ring once the dial returns to zero.

Important:** If you do not first turn the dial to 55, the alarm may not sound or will be very quiet.

Care & Safety

To avoid damaging the internal mechanism, never force the dial counter-clockwise directly from the "0" position.

The magnetic back adheres to iron-based metal surfaces. Please note that some modern appliance surfaces may not be magnetic.

Notes

As the instructions say, you can "Set the time with a gentle twist."
