Could someone tell me more about the timer? Auto-on ? Auto-off? What's the deal?

When the water, which cooks the eggs, runs out, a timer goes off to let you know the eggs are done. You should take the eggs out right away or at least unplug the unit if you want to keep the eggs warm for a few minutes.

The "timer" is the water evaporation cycle. You put in an amount of water to cook your eggs to the way you want them done. When the water evaporates, the temperature rises and sets off the buzzer. You then have to turn off the cooker. No auto here, just some basic physics, and don't walk away from the cooker to where you can't hear the buzzer. But it's simple and works just fine. The only trick is to learn how much water to put in to get the eggs the way you like them.

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.

I am sure the timer allows you to manually override the timed settings. (Most timers do allow this.) The On/Off buttons provide this capability.

Hello - this one has a timer so you can set it for as long as you like. What are you making that is so long?

Sounds like you are using it in the Manual mode. It should be able to toggle the cursor to the "Auto" mode (shows in LCD) in which case the timer function takes over. The On/Off is to manually control it on demand. I don't own this so I don't know if the Man/Auto is controlled by Mode button? But I have other timers and it sounds like this is what you need to do.

There is not a switch to disable the auto-off feature. 20 seconds is plenty of time for mine to run and you can press it again right after if you are processing a whole chicken or some such.

Hi Bo, I have used one of these WH21 for the last 25 years. This version of timer is only for controlling on and off in a 24 hour period. It will not help you with the issue that you described. Thanks,Ed

Do you need set the self-timer? If yes, you can find it in "fun/set" and choose the timer, off, 2s or 10s.

Yes, the auto-off timer feature is optional. You don't have to use it at all.

I don't think it works like that, if I'm reading you right - like a timer you set to turn off. It goes by an internal clock you set ahead of time where you set the "on" time and "off" time for each event. I suppose you could set the timer right up until the moment you need it to turn on (maybe a few minutes leeway), but again, you'd have to program it to turn off also at a specific time. Hope that helps.

you connect the 2 timer in series or parallel? (if series the timer front and back in the circuit may cause the on off problem)You are saying the timer can not switch to auto and the manual function also not working? Had you check your supply at the timer terminal is it connected correctly?The timer activation time "on" and "off" is set correctly?Do you set it to be turn on and off on specify day or everyday (need set and select day/days)

Seriously ? Mine never stops unless I power it off. The only thing I can think of is something with the timer setting. Maybe you have the timer set to go off every few minutes. Can you get a stopwatch and get some data on the intervals of on/off ? Maybe unplugging it will reset it if it is for some reason set by the timer option. If that doesn't reset it then perhaps it is malfunctioning. It definitely sounds like timer related.

Yes, I just went out and tested it just now. All you do is scroll through the numbers until it reaches the on position again, and u can reset the timer to turn off in 1-9 hrs real easy.

The timer on the 100 is what I consider essential. It turns itself off during the night, so I don't have to worry about it.

Hi, I don't know that it's designed to auto-turn-off, however, mine does that as well. Very annoying indeed!

There is an on-off switch on the side. It will also turn itself off automatically after a few minutes.

You can use your own timer, the one that comes from the company isn't necessary. I replaced my timer with a much more compact model that can be hidden from view better. :D
