Delayed start, also known as an appliance timer or pre-selection, is a feature found in many modern home appliances. This functionality allows users to set a specific time for an appliance, such as a washing machine, dishwasher, or oven, to begin its operation at a later point. The primary purpose of this feature is to provide convenience and flexibility in managing household chores.

Users typically select their desired program or cycle and then set a timer for when they want the appliance to start. This could be to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates, to have a load of laundry finished by the time they return home from work, or to have a meal ready at a specific dinner time. The appliance will then remain in a standby mode until the pre-selected start time is reached, at which point it will automatically commence its cycle.

The implementation of delayed start can vary between appliance models and manufacturers. Some may offer a simple countdown timer, while others provide more advanced options for setting the exact start time and date. This feature is particularly useful for busy households or individuals who wish to optimize their energy consumption and streamline their daily routines by automating appliance operation.
