Notes on using the timer

- To modify or cancel a timer setting, follow steps 1 and 2 under ‘To set the timer for a cooking zone’, then modify the number of minutes as wished.
- Once you have set the timer for one cooking zone, you can go on to set it for additional cooking zones by repeating the steps under ‘To set the timer for a cooking zone’ for each, being mindful of the following:
- The timer display will always revert to showing the setting for the cooking zone with the shortest remaining time.
- To check the timer setting for a different cooking zone, simply select the cooking zone. Its remaining time will briefly appear in the timer display.
