Please note that pressing any control function key is acknowledged by a short tone (0.1 seconds
duration) emitted from the instruments internal sounder.
1. Ensure the POWER rocker switch is in the on (1) position. The green lamp in the

to revert to MANUAL mode. Similarly, if programmes, P1, P2, or P3 are selected,
press PROG repeatedly until no programme is selected.

run at the selected speed and duration. Please note that the time display counts
