Installing or Changing Batteries

The New York Times Recipe

Master requires 2 AAA batteries.

Be sure to review “Battery

Information” on page 22.

Carefully turn the unit over so

that the top side is face-down on a

soft surface, such as a towel or

magazine. You’ll find the battery

compartment on the unit’s back.

Use a small Phillips screwdriver

to remove the screw. Lift off the

battery compartment lid. Install 2

AAA batteries, making sure to

match the polarity (+ and -) with

the diagram inside the battery

compartment. (See diagram

below.) Place the battery com-

partment lid’s tabs in their slots

and snap the compartment door

back on. Replace the screw and

gently tighten it.
To change batteries without los-

ing informa-

tion you have

stored, see
