3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
To clean your timer, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the timer in water, as this can damage the electronic components.

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the timer frequently. Recharge the timer when the low battery indicator appears. Store the timer in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
4. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
