Abstract: An electric range override timer unit including an electrically controllable power interrupt circuit positioned between a conventional male power plug adapted for connection with an existing electrical wall socket and a socket assembly adapted for receiving the male plug from an existing electric range; a timer unit in electrical connection with the power interrupt circuit, the timer unit having a timing mechanism having a predetermined maximum time period for sending a control signal to the power interrupt circuit for causing the power interrupt circuit to conduct electrical current between the conventional male power plug and the socket assembly; and a mounting bracket having a first portion secured to the timer unit and a second portion adapted for multiple connecting modes to an existing electric range.
