Can you program to come ON at a certain time and go OFF at a certain time?

It doesnt seem possible from the instruction booklet but if you have taken the trouble to put the question up here, you should take the trouble to call Hamilton Beach at 800-851-8900. I am sure they can tell you if there is a way to do it (this has a 14 hr cooking limit but it seems to start immediately I havent seen a way to defer start time but I am home when I cook and I am not particularly sophisticated with electronics).

I checked the manual and the crockpot itself, and I can't honestly answer your question. I'm pretty sure you can't program it to come on at a certain time. You can set it to how long you want it to run. I've only used it once so far, and I was there to turn it off when it was done. I would imagine when the time runs out it shuts off, but I can't say that for sure. Sorry I don't really have answers for you.

Sir, you can set it for whatever particular time you want. So you specify when it comes on and when it goes off. Robert

The reason is I work around the clock so a steady program doesn't work for me. I just want to turn it on when I want it on and turn it off when I don't. I don't want it to come on when I'm not home.

No. Basically you have 7 different days you can program an on time and an off time. At the end of day 7, it goes back to day 1. So basically as the sunrise and set change, if you want your timer to change with it, you'll manually need to re-program the device. I usually need to reprogram mine 4 times a year (two of them are when we switch to and from Daylight Saving time) so the lights come on and off close to sunset and sunrise.

The answer to the first part is a little complicated. I don't see an option that allows setting an on/off event which is offset in time relative to dawn/dusk. However, it does let you define the dusk and dawn time during the initial setup. So technically, if you set the dusk time to half and hour before it actually occurs, that should work. The answer to the second part is definitely yes. You can set it to go off at 1 am or any other time of the day, down to a specific minute.

Yes you can. You put the current time and after that you program at what time you would like your coffee to be made :)

Wow this is quite an ancient post. So far I've looked over the large sheet of directions and set up a few programmable times. Unfortunately nothing has indicated to me that each of the outlets can be timed individually. As far as custom times, you can set 1 turn on time and 1 turn off time on four different programmable settings. For example, program 1 could be set to turn on at 6 AM and to off at 7 PM while program 2 (if selected) could be set to turn on at 6 AM and turn off at 5 PM.

Yes. It can be programmed to do that. It has several programs, so you can set multiple on/off times. The instructions were clear to me.

yes and according to the setting you enter at the begining and what mode you set, you can alter how long it stays on (40 min or less) and how long it stays off before it automaticly will turn on agian for your set time agian.

Hit the "p" or program button, twist the dial until the "auto-off" comes on, press button that says "ok" you can set to max of 3 hours till auto-off

Yes. There is an option to set it to go off every 8, 12 or 24 hrs OR every 2nd, 3rd or 7th day. You can have it run from 1min up to 120min at a time.

Yes, you simply set the program to turn on at 5pm and off at 11pm the same day. This program can be set up for each day or M-F and/or different on Sat and Sun. There is even a Tues-Sat day window that can be used. Multiple time periods are programmable.

It lets you program 8 events per day, all based on time of day. We program 4 daily sets of turn on, turn off, a total of 8 events. You could set one "turn on time" for around sunrise and one "turn off time" for around sunset.

If you want to turn on every day at a certain time, you can set it for any time anyday and turn off a half an hour later. This is not just an "egg" timer.

As workaround, the switch allows you to create separate programs using the P1, P2, P3 settings, etc. You can easily create P1 to come on at 8am and then set P2 to come on at 7am and just switch it when the time changes.

Yes! Set it for 1 min. When it goes off, it automatically resets back to 1 min.

Unfortunately no. You'd have to set it every three hours, it cannot be programmed to do more than 1 setting at a time.
