Programs do not start at the delayed time or delay timer behaves unpredictably.

Safety first: Ensure perishable foods are not left at room temperature for long periods, regardless of timer issues.

• Verify settings: Carefully follow the ETA manual to set the delay timer, confirming start and end times.
• Avoid power loss: Do not use switched outlets or timers in series with the cooker.
• Reset cooker: Unplug for 10 minutes to reset internal logic, then test the delay with water only.

When to call a technician: Persistent timer malfunction may require control board replacement.
