1. Press the TIMER ON button. By default, the last time period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours) will appear on the display.
   • NOTE: This number indicates the amount of time you want to elapse before the unit turns on. For example, if you set the TIMER ON for 2 hours, “2.0h” will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn on after 2 hours.
2. Press the TIMER ON button repeatedly to set the time that you want the unit to turn on.
3. Wait 2 seconds, then the TIMER ON function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the temperature display.

TIMER OFF Function

The TIMER OFF function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will automatically turn off, such as when you wake up.

1. Press the TIMER OFF button. By default, the last time period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours) will appear on the display.

After 10 hours and up to 24, it will increase in 1-hour increments. The timer will revert to zero after 24 hours. You can turn off either function by setting the timer to “0.0h“.

Setting both TIMER ON and TIMER OFF at the same time

Keep in mind that the time periods you set for both functions refer to hours after the current time.

For example, say that the current time is 1:00 PM, and you want the unit to turn on automatically at 7:00 PM and want it to operate for 2 hours, then automatically turn off at 9:00 PM. Do the following (side figure):” – change to say “Follow the illustration to the left:
