™ 

The patented and patent pending RangeMinder

™ was engineered to help prevent 

the  number  one  cause  of  household  fire 

–  stovetop  cooking  –  and  more 

specifically to help prevent unattended cooking, the leading cause of these fires.  
NEVER LEAVE COOKING UNATTENDED. 

 

1.

 

Always hold the dials from the grip.  Do not hold from the edges. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

 

Turn your range top on just as you normally would.  

3.

 

The  dial  is  designed  to  know  at  what  temperature  setting  you  are  cooking  at 
and  to set the  timer  appropriately.    For  example,  if  you  are  cooking  on  HI  the 
base unit will alert you after approximately 5 minutes.  If you are cooking on LO 
the base unit will alert you after approximately 60 minutes.  During installation 
RangeMinder

™ dial is calibrated to identify all temperature settings and set the 

timer for the appropriate level between 5 and 60 minutes.   

4.

 

If the base unit begins beeping check your cooking to determine if the element 
needs to be turned down. If it does, simply turn the dial to the new lower setting 
and  the  dial  timer  will  reset  based  on  the  new  setting.  If  your  cooking 
temperature does not need to be adjusted simply touch any one of the  4 dials 
and the timer will be automatically reset and the timing will begin again.   

5.

 

A short beep from the base unit will let you know that timer has been set.
