How to use

Plug the timer into a suitable indoor socket and connect the appliance to the timer. Set desired on/off periods by moving the segments or pins on the 24-hour mechanical dial to the required positions. Use the manual override switch to temporarily turn the output on or off without changing the programmed schedule. Ensure the connected load does not exceed 3500 W and operate the timer only in dry indoor conditions consistent with IP20 protection.

Recommendations

Do not use the timer outdoors or in damp environments; verify the appliance power rating before connection and avoid loads above 3500 W. Regularly check the mechanical dial and contacts for wear if used frequently, and follow local electrical safety rules when installing or servicing the device.
