problem also with my timer

I NutriCook my last year and I am delighted. In August, I ordered a new timer because I was out with mine. The new no longer accepts the same batteries as the first. These are harder to find in commerce and much more expensive than others. Moreover, by going to the website SEB, I read this
"How to clean the timer Nutricook?

Please do not skip the timer in the dishwasher or under the tap water because it is not waterproof. Never use solvent. Simply use a clean, dry cloth. "

It's a shame, the timer is not sealed while receiving all the steam that escapes the cover !!

My second timer operated only 4or 5 times, then I put the cocote aside for work in my kitchen. When I pulled out all the cardboard a month later, the timer began to make noise like a metronome and I have not been able to use it .... I groan ggggr farm! the cocote is not for nothing, timers either and now I know not to use it.
I advise all those who wish to purchase the NutriCook wait for SEB FINALLY examines the problem of the timer, otherwise it is better to turn to another pot.

I think the brand is not very serious; continue selling a product she knows defective in a short period of time, it is shameful!
