SETTING THE CLOCK TIME 

Rotate the program dial gradually clockwise until the time of day on the outer 

dial is nearly aligned with the triangle marker at the 2 o’clock position.  Then set 

time to the minute by rotating minute hand clockwise until the time of day (and 

AM or PM) on the outer dial is aligned with the triangle marker on the inner dial.  

NOTICE!  Do not rotate the dial or minute hand counter-clockwise. Doing 

so will damage the timer.

SETTING ON/OFF TIMES 

Move the white tab (tripper) on the outer dial outward at the start of the desired 

ON period.  Move each adjacent tab outward until the desired OFF time is 

reached.
