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:

This guide is made specifically for our own customers. Other conversion systems will have different requirements. Whether you have the most up-to-date ElectricKit Advanced Conversion , or the manual ElectricKit Classic Conversion , there's some pre-installation requirements that need to be completed before we arrive. Please make sure these are all completed and in place before we arrive. If not, and we can't safely complete the conversion/install, we may need to charge for a 'failed install' and reschedule to the next available date in our diary (usually +3 months).
