Troubleshooting

Unit does not power on

Check that the mains power supply is switched on at the breaker. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the installation diagram. Ensure the unit is properly seated in the wall box.

Timer not activating the appliance

Confirm the correct timer duration has been selected using the push buttons. Check that the LED indicator shows the unit is active. Verify the wiring to the appliance is correct and the appliance itself is functioning.

LED indicator is not lit

This indicates the unit is not powered or the timer function is not engaged. Recheck power supply and wiring. Ensure a timer duration has been selected.

Appliance runs continuously

This is unlikely with a timed unit unless wired incorrectly or faulty. Double-check wiring and ensure the timer function is being used. If the issue persists, the unit may need replacement.
