How do you set the timer? My current timer you have to hit a button once for each minute. Setting it for 45 minutes is a real hassle!

All you have to do is select one of the 3 timer areas (T1,T2 or T3), then using the number keypad, type in your time making sure you type in the required amount of numbers to have it be hours, minutes or seconds and then hit start. For example, for 45 minutes, you'd type in 4500. Simplest timer I've ever worked with. I just love it.

My husband is an avid barbecue guy & uses this all the time. It is easy to use & no hassle setting the time. OXO products are all very good. We have many of their products in our kitchen and never an issue.

No you have to push the button on the top to turn it on and then the timer begins and shuts off on whatever setting you have it on 30min, 3hr, 6hr.

You can set the light to come on when you hit any button. Stays back lite for about 2 seconds. No setting the time it stays back lite

You have to buy a timer. It tells you that you need for it to be a timer that has complex off/on switching. I bought a simple timer with 10 minute buttons and it worked fine (less than $10).

Checked my timer. Probably 45 minutes is the shortest time. There is one tab that turns the timer on and another to turn it off. Looks like the two won't fit closer than 45 minutes apart.

Try to do a manual reset and see if that works first. When you do a manual reset ( see instructions) you can then start over again. This timer/switch isn't at all hard to set. I set mine when I first got it and plugged it in and its been running almost a month now without fail. Hope this helps out.

First of all. I have used timers on a daily basis for MANY years. I have purchased MANY timers. This by far is the BEST timer I have ever purchased. (I have 4 Marathon timers) The answer to your question. YES I push the button 30 times for minutes. To me, it is not a problem.

The timer is set only by the button. Press it once for "Hold" (i.e. on, no timer), again for 1-hour timer, again to cycle through the next three timer durations, and again to turn it off. This device acts as the switch...as long as the switch you plug it into is on!

Do you have the timer button pressed when you have the timer on settings on?

Either way. Change the "lever" on the left side to Timer and then hold down the button until you get close to the time you need, let up and press it one number at a time. If you go over what you want you have to start over. That's the only drawback. Otherwise I find this my favorite timer and carry it with me so I never miss what I'm timing and don't have to hover over what I'm cooking. Love it and hope you do or will too.

Hold the side button and the timer button at the same time! The battery might be dead b/ c the battery only lasted about 2 weeks on the one I bought!

The to truth is its been a long time since I used this timer, so I don't remember, I don't recommend this timer, it's super hard to set the time, and it broke easy. Sorry

Yes, it can be set for as little as 1 sec or as much as 59 sec. You just need to remember that time as added from left to right so if say you want something to go 3 minutes and 45 seconds you have to enter it as 345 start. I love the way this works because you don't have to hold down a button and wait for the time to count up or down to get where you want (and heaven forbid you miss the time and have to start over).

The timer stores your last timer entry, even after it goes off, until you physically hit the "Clear" button to remove it. In other words, if you set it for 5 minutes, you will hit "Stop/Start" to stop the alarm going off. After doing so, the timer still retains the 5 minute setting and the next time you need to time something for 5 mins, all you have to do is hit "Stop/Start" again. If you need a different amount of time set, you would simply hit "Clear" to reset it completely to a new time.

The current time is set by spinning the dial and matching the labeled time on the outside dial with the inner marking for current time. You tell it when you want it on and off by pulling the tabs out (to tell it you want the outlets off) and pushing them in (to tell it you want the outlets on). The toggle switch goes between always on and timer mode - the clock is for the timer. I had to use my fingernail to make my timed settings and still had to move the dial around to get all of the timer settings. I then set the current time after that.

Where is it, on the machine? When I turn mine on, it just goes to the timer times. How do I set it to be continueous?

Not really, you select on and the amount of time by pushing it more than once when starting. Push on and push 1-3 more times to select the amount of time you want it to run -same button. Don't think you would be able to set it up with a timer, I could be wrong. It does run for a long time, it holds alot of water.
