How to Set Up Your Timer
- Ensure all pins are in the UP (Power OFF) position before starting.
- Slide the side switch to "AUTO" mode.
- Rotate the dial clockwise until the black arrow aligns with the current time. (Important: Never rotate counterclockwise — this can damage the internal mechanism.)
- Push down the pins for the time periods you want the device to be ON. Each pin = 30 minutes.
- Plug the timer into your wall outlet, then connect your appliance to the timer socket.
- Make sure your appliance's own switch is in the ON position — the timer controls power delivery automatically.
Important Notes
- After a power outage, you will need to re-calibrate the current time on the dial.
- For indoor use only — keep away from damp, wet, or corrosive environments.
- Do not exceed the rated electrical load.

A: No — this mechanical timer switch is designed for indoor use only. It should be kept away from damp, wet, or corrosive environments to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Q: What happens to my timer schedule after a power outage?

A: Yes — the timer features a Schuko-style Germany plug (Type F) that is fully compatible with standard EU wall outlets used in Germany, Spain, and most of continental Europe.
