@eddiecat78 We did exactly the same as you. Eventually we switched off the oven completely. Then clicked the clock button and sorted it.

Trying to alter the bathroom towel rail heater got my DH in a temper. I looked at the instructions and said ‘did you do this bit?’ It was how to change to summer time. Had he looked at that - no of course not!!

Because I take my car back and forth to France fairly regularly, I've become quite adept at changing its clock!

I have a Bosch cooker , haven't had the courage to tackle the clock yet! Hate it 😡!

We have a Westminster chiming clock that I inherited from my mum.

I tend to leave it on wrong time for half the year, it’s a faff getting the chimes right and I dread messing the clock up and stop it working..

Reminds me of this old joke....

Changed it in under a minute. Turned the 'clock' knob to 'time and held it while I turned the other knb around an hour.

I have a Rangemasster Professional cooker.

I’ve just realized that I hadn’t changed the clock in my family bathroom (hardly used) last Autumn, so it’s been an hour fast for months! At least I don’t need to do it again until later in the year.
I’m tackling the range clock after another cup of tea. As I’ve only had my car a few weeks, I haven’t a clue how most of it ‘works’ let alone the clock!

If your new car is modern, the clock should automatically change, as do our mobiles and computers.
My Jazz is older, so it is the first clock I change so that it doesn't get forgotten. Fortunately it is easy to do.

My oven clock is correct for6 months of the year, just don’t bother anymore . Just need to change the two clocks that aren’t automatic

We did exactly the same. Got the Bosch book out, turned it off at the wall and started again. DH getting frustrated and jabbing all the buttons didn’t help ! 😂

I completely ignore mine! Every once in a while (2 months or so) the timer starts buzzing and I cancel that by pushing two buttons at once

It has just taken me half an hour and much swearing to alter my Bosch cooker clock. Randomly jabbing the buttons achieved nothing. Following the instructions (several times) put the child lock on.
In the end we switched off the power completely and then followed the "setting the clock for the first time" instructions
