Does the handle on the lid have to be in the "up" position when off and the down position when "on" or does the timer alone determine "on" and "off"?

When the handle is in the "up" position the heating element is turned off. If there is time left on the timer it will continue its countdown until it gets to zero even though no heat is being produced. When the handle is down, power is supplied to the heating element if there is time set on the timer. When the timer gets to zero, power to the heating element is shut off. If you set too much time on the timer you can just raise the handle to shut off the power when you reach the desired cooking time and let the timer run down. HTH

The timer will automatically shut the unit off. In order for it to run however, the handle must be down. I love this unit and have baked or cooked lots of things already.

The power is "on" when the handle is in the down position. The power is "off" when the handle is lifted. You must first press a large safety button located directly in front of the handle before you can turn the power "on" or "off." The timer is used to set the cooking time. (The thermostat dial sets the temperature.) The oven will shut off automatically when the time expires. A bell will sound to alert you that the unit has shut off.

Depressing the handle down turns the unit on. If you do not push the handle down, the unit will not turn on. However, when the timer runs off it will shut off the unit, but does not pop up the handle. It works very well.

To shut off regardless of time you pull handle up. Put it back down and it will continue cooking. The timer goes on even if not plugged in it does not stop.

Yes you must make sure the lock is off, then, turn the lid using the lid's plastic handles.

The activation of the on/off function is mechanical. Be sure the metal tabs provided with the timer are installed correctly. Read the directions CAREFULLY. Be sure the tabs are seated completely into the slot. The tabs make a physical contact with the switching system providing the on/off function. Good luck!

There are separate knobs for on timer and off timer up to 15 minutes each, but I believe it will continue to cycle on and off until you turn the unit off, as there is an on off knob.

It does not have a off position, but I have never had it to come on with it all the way down. Allen

Cindy L gave exactly correct info. The only thing I would add is that the adjusting temperature with the handle (at least as mine is set up) only applies to manual operation. The auto on is adjusted on the under counter control and primarily uses "hot".

Yes it has an on position by turning the white dial. When you here the click then its on and turn in the other direction and its off.

The lid has a switch on the top, so it has an on and off setting. Works well enough!

I have not timed it but the on off has not been a problem. I would say it is reasonable and handy in all ways and I have not noted a problem with the length of time to off. I put it up to store without worry.

I just followed the instructions in the manual. I have my timer set at 9 seconds and it begins to countdown as soon I pull the handle down.

It has a dial that can be turned to the "off" position. However, just in case kids are coming over, we always unplug ours. As a reminder, when unplugging any electrical appliance, make sure and pull the plug out and not pull on the cord. Hope this helps.

No. The temperature gauge is above the light and the light only comes on when the lid is in the open position.

Yes.. You are making the handle go outward to turn on and inward to turn off...

while I have not own mine very long, I know it has a timer option. Also, if you take the pan off, I think it shuts it off.

There is a switch that selects either "on" or "timer". The "on" position always powers the connected device regardless of your on/off settings on the timer wheel. The "timer" position controls the device based on the timer wheel settings. If in the "timer" position, and the setting on the timer wheel has powered on the device, there is no way to turn the device off from the timer.

Yes. The On/Off switch is located on the lower area of the handle, has an auto shut-off when the water boils, or you can flip it off sooner if you wish. Also, the switch turns on an indicator light (top of handle) when it in on.
