    AUTOMATIC SPRAYING To program the timer, you must first determine the total spray "on" time. The total "on" time is composed of the sum of (4) different functions as follows: A) Pre-Air-Circulation Time: Pre-Air-Circulation time will always be 15 minutes. When you program the timer to turn "on", there will be a 15 minute delay before the spray begins.
