Oven timer counts down but heating does not start until a certain setting is changed

Safety first: No internal repair is needed; keep hands away from hot surfaces.

• Cancel automatic programs: Press the cancel or stop button to exit any delayed start or automatic cooking program.
• Set manual mode: Ensure the timer is set to manual (hand symbol) if your Sauter model uses a mechanical timer. Turn the knob until the manual symbol aligns.
• Reset clock and timer: Set the correct time of day and then set a simple cooking time to verify operation.
• Consult user manual: Review the Sauter instructions for your specific model to understand the timer and program icons.
