I'm assuming that you're referring to OXO's Digital Timer Model #1061978. OXO doesn't provide a copy of the instruction booklet for download, but I also own this timer, and this is what I've learned:

I also own this model, and the manual isn't availble on OXO's site. But this is what I've learned over the years:
