• Appliance not turning on:
  • Ensure the timer is securely plugged into the wall socket and the appliance is securely plugged into the timer.
  • Check if the wall socket is live by plugging in another device.
  • Verify that the timer is in the correct operating mode (AUTO with a duration set, or Manual ON).
