Does Kumo have a timer?
Yes! Kumo has a convenient 24-hour preset timer, allowing you to have freshly cooked rice or other meals ready when you need them.
You can set the timer for up to 24 hours in advance, making it particularly useful when you want to prepare food around your daily schedule.
For example, you can set Kumo in the morning so that your rice is ready when you arrive home from work, or have warm, comforting porridge ready for breakfast on a cold winter morning.
How Does the Kumo Preset Timer Work?
There is one important thing to understand when using Kumo's preset timer:
You set the timer for when you want the cooking function to FINISH – not when you want cooking to START.
Kumo then calculates when it needs to begin cooking so that your selected food is ready at the time you specified.
Example: Rice Ready at 1pm
Imagine it is 9:00am and you want your white rice to be completely cooked and ready to eat at 1:00pm.
The difference between 9:00am and 1:00pm is 4 hours.
Therefore, you would:
9:00am → Select White Rice → Set preset timer to 4 hours → Start
Kumo will then automatically calculate when to begin the cooking process so that the rice is completed and ready at 1:00pm.
You don't need to work out when the rice cooker should start cooking yourself – Kumo does that calculation for you.
Perfect for Busy Schedules
The preset timer is particularly useful when your cooking needs to fit around your day.
You can set Kumo before leaving for work and return home to freshly cooked rice, or set it before going to bed so that porridge is ready for breakfast.
It is one of those simple features that can make a big difference to everyday convenience.
Remember
The Kumo preset timer is a "ready by" timer, not a "start cooking at" timer.
Simply enter the number of hours from now until you want your food to be finished and ready to serve, and Kumo will take care of the cooking schedule.
Up to 24 hours in advance – set it, leave it and come back to food ready when you need it.
