  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.
