The present invention relates to a clock timer for a domestic appliance. The clock timer is adapted to the setting of a numerical value of a time period by a user. The clock timer includes a display device (10), a keyboard (16) and a control unit. The display device (10) comprises at least two display portions (12, 14). One display portion (12) displays a numerical value of the hours of the time period. A further display portion (14) displays a numerical value of the minutes of the time period. The keyboard (16) comprises a mode selection key (18) for selecting between a basic mode, a setting mode for the numerical value of the hours and a further setting mode for the numerical value of the minutes. The keyboard (16) comprises a switch-up key (20) for increasing the displayed numerical values of the hours and the minutes, respectively. The keyboard (16) comprises a switch-down key (22) for decreasing the displayed numerical values of the hours and the minutes, respectively. The keyboard (16) comprises a confirmation key (24) for confirming the displayed numerical values of the hours and the minutes, respectively. The basic mode, the setting mode for the numerical value of the hours and the setting mode for the numerical value of the minutes are recognizable by at least two different optical signals (26, 28) in the display (10) and/or in the keyboard (16). Further, the present invention relates to a domestic appliance with a corresponding clock timer.
