FAQs
Does this timer require batteries?
No, the Avilo Bird Design Kitchen Timer is a fully mechanical device.
What is the maximum time I can set?
You can set the timer for any duration up to 60 minutes.
How do I ensure the alarm rings loudly?
Always turn the dial clockwise to the 60-minute mark before setting your specific time; this winds the internal spring completely.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
No, you should never submerge the timer in water as it will damage the mechanical components.
What are the dimensions of the unit?
The timer measures 8.5 x 7.3 x 7.3 cm.
Is the material heat resistant?
While durable for kitchen use, it should not be placed directly on hot stovetops or inside an oven.
Troubleshooting
The bell did not ring at the end of the cycle.
Ensure you turned the dial to the 60-minute mark before setting your desired time; the timer requires this full wind to trigger the bell mechanism.
The timer feels stuck when turning the dial.
Do not force the dial. Check for debris in the crevices or gently try rotating it back and forth to clear any obstructions.
The timer is ticking unevenly.
Ensure the device is placed on a perfectly level surface. Vibration or tilted surfaces can occasionally affect the mechanical balance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is instant; simply place the timer on a flat, stable surface where it is clearly visible and within earshot. No assembly or calibration is required. To maintain the finish and internal integrity, avoid dropping the device on hard kitchen tiles, as the mechanical gears are sensitive to impact. Keep the surface clean by wiping it down with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove flour or grease buildup. Do not submerge the timer in water or place it inside a dishwasher, as liquid ingress can cause the internal spring to rust and fail.
