This thing has a timer -- but you can't stop it once it's going. Any idea how to do that?

Have you tried the clear off button on the lower left corner of the control panel?

I contacted customer service regarding this issue and they responded that this can't be shut off and the timing can't be altered. I'm not sure why they have this shutoff built in but it is irritating.

1. Switch the top button to "Timer". 2. Rotate the dial clockwise as the curved arrow indicates and stop when the actual time coincides with the small arrow head or right pointer ( &#9658;) 3. Push away from the center the small segments that fall within the period of time you want the timer to stay on - There are 96 segments or switches, where each segment represents 15-minutes for a total of 24-hour.

It does stop automatically after so many minutes. I have never timed it. I just turn it back on if I want it to run longer

I set mine on "timer" and then switched it to "on". It worked for a while but about half of my timers wouldn't hold the actual time so they wouldn't come on at the right time.

You can stop either or both timers, however it is a stop not a pause where it will jump back into countdown and it will not keep track

Sorry, can't help. As far as I am concerned it is a 60 minute timer. I am not aware of any way it can do more than that.

You could start it using an electric timer but you can't shut it off with the timer because of the cool down cycle that it has to go through.

Mine does the same thing. It stays on indefinitely, so must be a timer issue. I have contacted Amazon and they are sending a replacement.

I'm pretty sure that the only timer is that you can set it to run for a period of time and then have it shut off. Similar to a tv where you punch in for it to turn off by itself in 1 hour for example. If there's another way to set it up I haven't figured out how.

It goes off for a few seconds, then stops. You can also hit a button on top to stop it.

There is no count down, it stays on for as long as you indicated it should and then shuts off.

No, this is a mechanical timer that does not keep time; you set it once and it winds down and closes, and that's it. :)

It does not have a timer but you can buy a plug-in timer for less than $20 which will accomplish what you are trying to do.

I like this timer because it goes beyond just one hour. But what you are asking would be too complex. You would need to manually intervene at the stop and start times.

I had not used this feature, but just tried it and it appears that it can be stopped and started again where I left off. Simple to do just using the start/stop button. Thanks

Yes. Punch in "3", "0", and hit "Start/Stop" to initiate and when countdown is complete (timer beeps) then hit the "Start/Stop" button to stop the noise. At this point the timer displays the previous 30-second count. Hit the "Start/Stop" button and the cycle continues. Hours of fun. Not sure exactly what you are looking for but this is a great timer.
