1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the JOCESTYLE 5-Minute Wooden Hourglass. This sand timer is a beautifully crafted, functional, and decorative item designed to help with time management, serve as a game prop, or simply enhance your desktop. Its 5-minute duration makes it ideal for various short-interval tasks.

2. Setup
The JOCESTYLE 5-Minute Wooden Hourglass requires no assembly. Simply remove it from its packaging and place it on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the surface is level to allow for consistent sand flow.

3. Operating Instructions
To use the hourglass, simply turn it upside down. The sand will begin to flow from the upper bulb to the lower bulb, indicating the passage of approximately 5 minutes. Once all the sand has flowed to the bottom, the 5-minute interval is complete. Flip it again to restart the timer.
This timer is versatile and can be used for:
- Effective time management during work or study sessions.
- Timing games or short activities.
- Monitoring cooking or baking intervals.
- Encouraging children to brush their teeth for the recommended duration.
- As a decorative desktop ornament.

4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your hourglass, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the wooden frame and glass with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the wood finish or scratch the glass.
- Handling: Handle with care. While sturdy, dropping the hourglass can cause the glass to break or disrupt the sand flow.
- Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the wood or affect the sand.
- Moisture: Keep away from high humidity or water, which can damage the wooden components.
5. Troubleshooting
The JOCESTYLE hourglass is a simple mechanical device, and issues are rare. However, if you encounter any problems, consider the following:
- Sand not flowing smoothly: Ensure the hourglass is placed on a perfectly flat and stable surface. If the issue persists, inspect the glass for any cracks or damage that might impede sand flow.
- Inaccurate timing: Hourglasses are designed for approximate timing. If the timing is significantly off (e.g., much less or more than 5 minutes), the internal structure might be damaged.
If you believe your hourglass is defective or damaged, please refer to the Warranty & Support section.
