How do you bring up this screen without cycling the power switch?

@spanman You&nbsp;do need to cycle the power switch in order to access the system configuration - you don't have to unplug at all, which makes it a little easier :)

Thanks!! There will be times when I’d want to change timer modes, e.g., alarm vs. stop, mid-cook. Seems like frequent power cycles might be hard on the unit.

@spanman It’s built to withstand this, although I see your point. If frequent power cycles do create an issue with your unit, please feel free to shoot me a note and we’ll gladly resolve 🙂
