OPERATION
Plug the countdown mains timer into a suitable wall mains socket (switched on). The
countdown mains timer is ready to use, but it is still without power to the mains output.
Connect the load. Press for approx. 2 seconds the “START – STOP” push button to activa-
te the connected load for 15 minutes. Each additional press doubles the operating time
up to 8 hours. There are operating times of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4
hours or 8 hours selectable. The remaining operating time is indicated by the respective
LED. The time can be changed during operation by pressing the “START-STOP” button
at any time. If you want to switch off the connected load instantly, select the “8h” and
press the “START-STOP” button one more time. At this point, or when the timer expires
naturally, the “15min” LED flashes for approx. 10 seconds. Afterwards the countdown
mains timer disconnects itself automatically from the mains power and consumes no

more electricity. The countdown mains timer can permanently remain in the wall outlet
socket, (with the electrical load connected or not), in complete safety.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Do not dispose of this timer in the normal household waste. Please return it to your
dealer or to your nearest recycling centre or collection point.
