Operating Instructions
Using your Cabilock Mechanical Cartoon Kitchen Timer is straightforward:
- Wind Fully: Always turn the dial clockwise all the way to the 60-minute mark. This is crucial for the timer to function correctly and for the alarm to sound.
- Set Time: Rotate the dial counter-clockwise to the specific number of minutes you wish to time. For example, if you need 15 minutes, turn the dial to the '15' mark.
- Start Timing: The timer will begin counting down immediately after you set the desired time.
- Alarm: Once the set time has elapsed, the timer will emit a loud ring to alert you.

- Avoid Over-Winding: While designed for durability, avoid forcing the dial past the 60-minute mark when winding.
- Handle with Care: Although robust, dropping the timer may affect its internal mechanical components.
