Do you HAVE to use the timer for the oven to work, or can you use it without the timer? Sometimes auto shut-off is a pain...

Not always. It has automatic preset keys that you adapt depending on the recipes. I am very happy with my oven. You learn how to adapt your recipes, the more that you use this oven.

Hi old MK, yes this oven has a timer that you have to use on all the bake cycles, but it goes up to 2 hours. I like the auto shut off & chose this cuz it had it, but I understand how that could be a pain!!! Still, it's a great oven! Hope this answers your question!! Let me know if I can help any more. Lucia

Maybe you're cooking too long? Does yours turn off automatically? Bc mine doesn't.

You have to press the little switch. I don't think it will work with a timer.

I have never used the timer. It goes up to 10 hours, the. It is supposed to shut off. We have been using it all winter and it works great.

It's not like an oven timer. You just turn it on and it runs for 2 hours then shuts off.

No it does not have a timer and you manually turn it off. But it is my favorite cooker.

I have never heard any beep, but your question is making me think you are thinking of this as a "leave in" thermometer, which it is not. It should not stay in an oven, or any other cooking chamber. If you are referring to a beep if you leave the power on too long, I don't have an answer. I am pretty good with turning it off after use, and one of the things that I liked when I was researching this model is that it has an auto shut off if you leave it on for an hour.Hope this answers your question.

No, the oven does not turn off when you open the door. I've had mine for over a year and am really satisfied with it. Everything on it works well. The exterior surfaces get very warm when you are using it, but it's a plus for me because I use the top to heat my dishes, nothing is worse then putting hot food on a cold plate.

Sorry Kim, but you can't set this cooker to turn on later in the day. For the meals that I cook in this unit that's never been a problem--for example, a pot roast that requires a 6-hour cooking time on the low setting will still be perfect after 8 or 10 hours because there's simply no evaporation to allow the food to dry out. If you're making a casserole that only needs to "bake" for a couple hours, and you want to serve after an 8-hour workday, you'll need to use the timed feature on your regular oven. I'm not aware of any slow cookers that have a delayed start feature for that very reason; they simply don't allow food to dry out. So as long as you cook your food for the minimum required time, extending the length of cooking time for hours, even, is never a problem. This slow cooker will automatically switch to the warm setting after the cook time that you programmed has elapsed, or the probe registers that the food is cooked. I've used quite a few different slow cookers, and this one (and its' smaller cousin) are by far my favorites. If you spent 10 times the amount of money, this would still be the best slow cooker of all, in my opinion.

Try shutting the door VERY hard. Common issue on this brand. Otherwise a great oven.

I'm not an expert with this, but I find that timer settings are important. What I mean is that if a cycle was stopped and not reset that could have an effect. Everything has to be in place within the appliance for it to work properly. It's following the instructions and if that doesn't work, call the company. Good luck. I'm enjoying mine.

Hi Mark,I haven't used my oven very often since I got it but I think that when I've baked something, the timer has to be turned on to activate the heating elements. Then when the timer runs out, the oven's heat shuts off. I could be incorrect but it shouldn't take much experimenting for you to find out for yourself.

Just checked the manual - it said the clock/timer light is only on when the oven is cooking. The light off indicates the oven is not cooking. This is an update to my last answer.

Well..it has timer which is turn it off by itself but if you want to turn it on you have to go for manual..

Yes you can cook with it set to " Stay On" with out using the timer. To turn off just turn knob back to " 0" on timer setting.

I have never used the timer. I keep it on continuously. If I forget to fill it, it just cuts off. No problem.
