IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, or INJURY TO PERSONS, read and follow all safety instructions prior to operation.

PART 1: Risk of Electric Shock

1. If the appliance falls into water, do not reach for it. Unplug it first, and then retrieve it. If electrical components get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only.)
2. After installation, carefully examine the appliance. Do not plug it in if water is on parts not intended to be wet.
3. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or damaged in any way.

PART 2: Risk of Fire

1. Do not use this product in potentially hazardous locations, such as flammable, explosive, chemical-laden, or wet atmospheres.
2. Do not cover power cords with rugs or other fabric materials.
3. Periodically examine the cords visually and immediately replace them when damage is noted. The National Electrical Code (NEC) does not permit cords to be concealed where damage to insulation may go unnoticed. To prevent fire danger, do not run the cord behind walls, ceilings, soffits, or cabinets where it may be inaccessible for examination.

PART 3: Risk of Other Personal Injury

1. Use caution when children use or are near any appliance.
2. Do not attempt to repair electrical components yourself. Contact the seller for help.

PART 4: Installation and Application

1. Do not exceed the electrical rating. The maximum combined wattage between both sockets is 1250 watts.
2. Fully extend the cord before using. Do not splice, repair, or modify the cord.
3. Do not attempt to hardwire this product, as such actions may result in personal injury or electrical damage. This action will also void the product's warranty.
4. Use the appliance only for its intended indoor use.
5. Make sure all components are securely installed before operating the appliance.

PART 5: Other Important Tips

1. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
2. Properly connect the device to a grounded three-prong receptacle for added safety.
3. Do not alter or modify this product. Contact an electrician if you are unsure about the electrical connection.
4. This unit has no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to examine or repair this appliance.
5. Ensure that the input voltage matches your local power supply voltage.
6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or temperatures below freezing.
7. Do not yank the cable to pull it from the socket. Instead, pull the plug carefully to disconnect.
8. Ensure that your hands are dry when turning the power switch on or off, and while inserting or removing the power cable from the socket.
9. All products are supplied with fitted plugs. Do not tamper with them in any way. Tampering with the plug invalidates the guarantee.
10. Unplug the power cord before installing, servicing, or moving this product.

PROGRAMMING

SETUP FLOWCHART

A flowchart illustrates the programming sequence:

POWER ON -> SET -> CURRENT TIME (HOURS, MINUTES) -> SET -> S1 START&END (HOURS, MINUTES) -> SET 3S -> S12 START&END (HOURS, MINUTES) -> SET 3S -> S13 START&END (HOURS, MINUTES) -> SET -> S2 DAY START TIME (HOURS, MINUTES) -> SET -> S2 NIGHT START TIME (HOURS, MINUTES) -> SET -> S2 DAY TEMPERATURE (START, END) -> SET -> S2 NIGHT TEMPERATURE (START, END) -> SET -> Working Normally.

Key:

• SET: Enter setting mode
• OK: Confirm setting, switch between hour/minute or start/end temperature
• ▲: Increase Numerical Settings Button
• ▼: Decrease Numerical Settings Button

STEP 1: SET CLOCK

After powering on, the screen displays real-time temperature and time. Use ▲ or ▼ to set Hour and Minute, then press OK to switch between them. Press SET to save and proceed to S1 socket START TIME settings. The default start time is AM 6:00.

Tip: Without the probe, the temperature display shows --°F.

STEP 2: S1 START TIME (S1 Socket)

Set the start time for the S1 socket. Press SET for 3 seconds to cycle through three sets of time settings. Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust time and OK to switch between Hour and Minute. Press SET to save and proceed to END TIME settings.

STEP 3: S1 END TIME (S1 Socket)

Set the end time for the S1 socket. Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust time and OK to switch between Hour and Minute. Press SET to save and proceed to S2 socket DAY START TIME settings. The default start time is AM 6:00.

Tip: If START time is later than END time, the program will be deactivated.

Multiple S1 Time Sets

The controller supports three sets of S1 time settings. You can cycle through them by pressing and holding the SET button for 3 seconds. The default start time for all sets is AM 6:00.

Example S1 Settings:

If START TIME is 12:00 AM and END TIME is 11:59 PM, the display shows “ALWAYS ON”.

STEP 4: S2 DAY&NIGHT START TIME (S2 Socket)

Set the DAY start time for the S2 socket (e.g., 6:00 AM). Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust. Press OK to switch between Hour and Minute. Press SET to save and proceed to NIGHT START TIME settings. The default start time is 6:00 PM.

Set the NIGHT start time (e.g., 6:00 PM). Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust. Press OK to switch between Hour and Minute. Press SET to save and proceed to S2 socket DAY START temperature settings.

Tip: The start time of nighttime is the end time of daytime, and vice versa.

Example S2 Settings:

STEP 5: S2 DAY TEMPERATURE (S2 Socket)

Set the DAY temperature. Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust the temperature between 32°F and 140°F. Press OK to toggle between START and END temperature settings. Press SET to save and proceed to S2 socket NIGHT START temperature settings. The default start temperature is 68°F.

Tips:

• Default start temperature: 68°F, default end temperature: 86°F.
• Temperature range: 32°F to 140°F.
• End temperature must be higher than start temperature.
• Temperature settings are ineffective without the probe.
• If DAY and NIGHT temperatures are the same, the display shows “CONSTANT TEMPERATURE”.

Example S2 Temperature Settings:

STEP 6: S2 NIGHT TEMPERATURE (S2 Socket)

Set the NIGHT temperature. Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust the temperature between 32°F and 140°F. Press OK to toggle between START and END temperature settings. Press SET to save your changes and access the main interface, initiating the machine's operation. The screen will cycle through displaying your settings.

Tips:

• Default start temperature: 68°F, default end temperature: 86°F.
• Temperature range: 32°F to 140°F.
• End temperature must be higher than start temperature.
• Temperature settings are ineffective without the probe.
• If DAY and NIGHT temperatures are the same, the display shows “CONSTANT TEMPERATURE”.
