Anyone actually use the delay timer on the Aroma rice cooker?

[Thomas Martinez]

While flipping through a manual for one of my Aroma cookers I noticed the delay timers goes up to 15 hours out. How many of you uses the delay function for the cook cycles?
I assume that when you hit the delay function you can set how long you want the cycle to be delay and then choose your cooking program. It seems like the cooker will just remain in this state until the delay timer completes and then start the cooking cycle automatically. Would you use this function for something like leaving your rice sit in water for 10 hour+ before cooking?
I'm curious as to how many of you use the delay function and what time ranges you use it for. As stated in the manual hitting the delay button come before choosing cooking program. What happens if you do it in the opposite order?

I use it maybe 3-4x a week, usually in the 6-8 hour range. I will often set it before sleep so that the rice is cook when I wake up. I never use it for more than around 9 hour, since rice sitting in water for that long starts to get sour tasting when I cook it.
