When the timer has run down to zero, does it shut off like a microwave?

No; it shuts off like a crock pot; it remains on but in a warming-mode, not a cooking-mode. As an example, I make oatmeal in it every morning. 1 cup water, 1/2 cup oats. I set it to 10 minutes, and it takes a couple of minutes to reach a cooking temperature and start, and then it cooks for 10 minutes, makes an audible beep, shuts the cooking off and switches to warming mode. If I wanted to open it right away, I would release the pressure by rotating the dial at the top to do so...or I could wait a couple of minutes and the pressure would decrease anyway. I have used this to cook raw (but soaked) beans in 20 minutes, vegetables, rice, and some combinations of meats and other things. It is also nice in that you can set it, go run errands or do other things, and come back irrespective of time and the food is cooked. Using the oatmeal as an example, I have returned over 30 minutes after the oatmeal was cooked to find it cooked, and kept warm - and prepared as I liked it.

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.

Yes it shuts off when it reaches the temp you set it to. If the temp falls bellow it will turn on again and off again when temp is reached.

Yes, it will turn itself down, then off. It will even remove itself and move itself into the fridge after 12 hours. NOT!!!That's a SWITCH, on the front, not a TIMER.

Yes, it shut off when you close the pad, but make sure the pad is perfectly back in the correct rotation for complete shut off.

No. It gives a brief interrupt at each half minute and a longer interrupt after two minutes but it then resumes and continues operating until you turn it off.

Never really timed it, but the operation manual says it will shut off after two minutes of inactivity.

In a word, no. It's basically a one-time use dial. Turn it to the amount of time you need and the dial moves down to zero and shuts off.

Not that I'm aware of. It's pretty simple to operate and it will shut off once everything is cooked based on the time that you set. Great product. With great results

Yes, if you turn it on by way of the timer it will shut off and ding. If you use the stay on it will not.

No. It has a warm setting that will activate after the timer reaches zero but no delayed start times.

No, once the timer is set and gets to 4 hrs (or 8 hrs) the power shuts off and you have to manually reset the timer.........hope this helps!

It does not shut off at the end of the cooking period. There is a timer that you set that makes an alarm, but it is not extremely loud.

No. Actually, you have to push the 'off' button even after it has stopped its cooking cycle. The oven turns off when the timer goes down to zero, but the off button will flash until you press it.

Yes. Mine does. But I don't leave it open for extended periods so I don't know if it would go off after a while or not.

Heater is shut off at the end of the cooking process; buzzer goes off and stays off until you turn machine switch to off or warming (or unplug).

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