4. Operating Instructions
The ORNO PRE-427 timer features a 24-hour rotating dial with segments that allow you to set specific on/off times. Each segment represents a 30-minute interval.

- Set Current Time: Rotate the entire dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow indicator located on the timer's body. The dial is marked from 1 to 24 hours.
- Program On/Off Times:
- The blue segments around the dial control the power to the connected appliance.
- To set a period for the connected appliance to be ON, push the corresponding segments downwards.
- To set a period for the connected appliance to be OFF, leave the corresponding segments in their upwards position.
- Each segment pushed down activates the power for 30 minutes. For example, pushing down two consecutive segments will provide power for one hour.

- Storage: Store the timer in a cool, dry place when not in use.
6. Troubleshooting
- Appliance not turning on/off as programmed:
- Check if the timer is securely plugged into the wall socket.
- Ensure the appliance is correctly plugged into the timer.
- Verify that the blue segments are pushed down for the desired "ON" periods and up for "OFF" periods.
- Confirm the current time is correctly set on the dial, aligning with the arrow indicator.
- Check if the appliance itself is functioning correctly when plugged directly into a wall socket.
- Timer dial not moving:
- Ensure the timer is receiving power from the wall socket.
- The timer is mechanical; if it stops moving, it may indicate a malfunction. Do not attempt to repair it.
