This timer will not last long. He has used a dozen of times and it already working. It is still under warranty and Seb tells me that the nearest authorized center is 20 kilometers from my home, so as long as they do not have in stock the day I will go and that we should I go back, I would have quickly spent 25 fuel and time! I hesitate between order a new one or take the risk of breaking my nose. Chez Seb (very kind) they told me that I am the first to have this problem but this model is very new, they do not step back. Too bad because I ordered this bitch just for this timer because I have the annoying habit of forgetting my pots on the fire!
