3. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to set and use your mechanical timer:
- Wind Fully: To activate the timer's spring mechanism, turn the dial clockwise past the 30-minute mark, all the way to the 60-minute mark. This action winds the internal spring and prepares the timer for accurate operation and ensures the bell will ring.
- Set Desired Time: After winding, turn the dial counter-clockwise to the desired number of minutes. For example, if you need to time 10 minutes, turn the dial counter-clockwise until the pointer aligns with the '10' mark.
- Timer Countdown: The timer will begin to count down silently.
- Audible Alert: Once the set time has elapsed, the timer will produce a long, audible ring to indicate that the time is up.
Note: Always wind the timer fully to 60 minutes before setting your desired time to ensure proper function and bell activation.
4. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Lux Mechanical Timer.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the timer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the timer in water.
- Storage: Store the timer in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity.
- Handling: Handle the timer with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage the internal mechanism.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your timer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Timer does not ring or rings faintly:
- Ensure the timer was fully wound clockwise to the 60-minute mark before setting the desired time. The winding action powers the bell mechanism.
- Check for any obstructions around the timer's base or sides that might muffle the sound.
- Timer is inaccurate:
- Ensure the timer was fully wound to 60 minutes before setting. Incomplete winding can affect accuracy.
- Avoid placing the timer near strong magnetic fields or in areas with significant vibrations.
- Dial is stiff or difficult to turn:
- This may indicate internal mechanism issues. Do not force the dial. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
