How To Set The Esse Timer

Wondering how to set the automatic timer on your Esse Cooker? Keep reading!



The Esse 1000 (and 1600) T and X models are now supplied with an integrated timer as standard.


To improve efficiency and reduce heat up times, you can set a schedule to turn your Esse on or off at certain points in the day. The Esse Timer can turn the ovens and hotplates on whenever needed, then bring the cooker back into slumber mode after the cooking cycle is finished.


Need to override the timer for a quick "out of schedule" meal? Easy! Just press the middle two buttons to override. After 24hrs, your Esse timer will turn back on and resume the schedule.


For setting the timer, follow the instructions in the Esse instructional video below:
