I'm really confused why "turn off my stove" would be the presumed functionality. Someone must've lied to them because no stoves do that. Otherwise, why would they suddenly assume that's what a timer was doing?

I know its functionality I have never seen before on a hob or oven. Microwaves do but their timer is required to turn it on in the first place.

I've seen that functionality on an oven (Inc mine, though I don't use it). I've never seen it on a hob before.

My oven has a cook time timer and a standard timer. The cook time ending turns off the oven while the standard one doesn't.
