Digital Timer Operation
IMPORTANT: Remember to observe all safety warnings
when operating the heater on auto setting, either attended
or unattended.
The timer allows you to select 'AUTO' or 'MAN ON' by
pressing the 'MODE' button until the required MODE
appears at the bottom of the timer display.
'AUTO' MODE allows the heater to switch ON and OFF
according to a set 24 Hour program period (see 'Setting
Programs' section below).
'MAN ON' MODE allows power to the heater uninterrupted
by the program settings.
Key Lock:
If 'ENTER' and 'MODE' are pressed within 1 second, the
keys will be locked. The user will know the keys are locked
as the lock symbol ' ' will be displayed on the top left hand
corner of the screen. To unlock the keypad, press 'ENTER'
and then 'MODE' within 1 second.

For initial use, plug the heater into a regular household
power point and turn the power on. The timer is now ready
to be set up for use.

Setting Programmes

Press the 'PROGRAM' key to set the programs.
You are now setting the programs starting with P1 'ON'.
SETTING P1 ON TIME:
1. To set the hour use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the hour
digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
2. To set the minutes use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the
minute digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
Note: The minutes can only be set in 10 minute blocks in
programme 'MODE'.
SETTING P1 OFF TIME:
3. To set the hour use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the hour
digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
4. To set the minutes use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the
minute digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 to programme P2, P3 & P4. After
programming P4 'OFF' you automatically exit to the default
display.
At any time while programming the timer you can press the
'PROGRAM' button to exit to the default display.
Note: If the 'ON' time is the same as the 'OFF' time the
appliance will ignore the program.
The Advance Function
When in 'AUTO' MODE, if the '+' button is pressed for
longer than 2 seconds the programme will ADVANCE to the
next setting programmed and will only revert back to the
program when the subsequent programme time is reached.
When the 'ADVANCE' function is running the 'ADVANCE'
segment will be displayed on the LCD screen. If the '-' button
is pressed when the 'ADVANCE' programme is running the
'ADVANCE' feature will be automatically cancelled and the
programme will run as normal.
Note - Timer Memory Back Up Batteries - Once the heater
has been left plugged in with the socket switched on for at
least 72 hours the timer's memory back up batteries will
be fully charged.
Once the timer batteries are fully charged, if there is a power
cut or if the heater is disconnected from the mains for less
than six months, then the timer will continue to keep time
& the settings in the memory will remain intact.
If however the timer back up batteries have not been
charged fully, or if the heater is deprived of power for
longer than six months, then the time and the programme
settings are likely to be lost and you may therefore need to
reset the time and the programme before using the AUTO
MODE again.
