2. Ensure the timer is clean and dry before plugging it into a wall socket.

3.2 Setting the Current Time

1. Rotate the entire dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow marker on the top of the timer. The dial is marked with hours (0-24) and days of the week (I-VII).

3.3 Programming the Timer

The timer features 84 blue switching segments around the dial. Each segment represents a specific time interval (2 hours). Pushing a segment inwards activates the connected appliance during that interval, while pulling it outwards deactivates it.

1. Identify the desired ON and OFF times for your appliance.
2. For each period you want the appliance to be ON, push the corresponding blue segments inwards.
3. For each period you want the appliance to be OFF, ensure the corresponding blue segments are pulled outwards.
4. The weekly program allows for different settings across the days, indicated by Roman numerals (I-VII) on the inner ring.
