at the bottom of the timer display.
'MAN OFF' MODE heat is permanently off. This is also the default screen.
'MAN ON' MODE allows power to the heater uninterrupted by the program settings.
'AUTO DLY' switches the heater ON and OFF every day according to a set daily program.
'AUTO BLK' switches the heater ON and OFF according to a set of programs for weekdays only or weekends only.
Initial Operation
In the event of a power cut or disconnection from the mains, the timer will continue to function and all programmed
settings will be retained for up to six months providing the timer batteries are fully charged.
If however the timer batteries have not been charged fully, or if the heater is deprived of power for longer than six
months, then the time and programme settings are likely to be lost and you may therefore need to reset the time and
programme before using the 'AUTO' MODE again. 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.

for at least 72 hours the timer's memory back up batteries will be fully charged.
