How does the timer work? Can you set it to shut off after a set amount of time?

I have never used the timer. It goes up to 10 hours, the. It is supposed to shut off. We have been using it all winter and it works great.

See edit further down... I JUST looked through the menus when I got this question... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but under the "System Settings" menu, there's a menu called "Tool" that has a couple of settings that look like they might be used as timers ("Power Off," etc.). OK, edit... Had a chance to try it - only tried it with FM, but since it basically just totally powers down the whole unit, it should work for all functions. Using the above instructions, and using the "Power Off" menu, you can set the timer in 10-minute increments, up to 120 minutes. When done, it powers off the entire unit; to get it to turn back on, you must press and HOLD the right-most button. It was a little disconcerting when I tried to use the "Menu" button to turn it back on, and nothing happened... Once the timer has turned the unit off, the timer is reset to "0" -i.e., the timer is not active. Because of the way you set it, I was afraid it might stay set on a 10-minute turn-off until I went back in and zeroed it, but that's not the case. If you want the timer again, you have to reset it, each time. I also do not agree that it's not worth the very low price. I find the sound pretty good, the volume is good, etc. I'd like to know what some people thought they were going to get for such a low price... Then again, they may have simply received a bad unit... . .

Sorry it took so long. Yes, it has a setting for 30, 60, 90 minutes, or continuous, they refer to continuous as timer off.

Hello - this one has a timer so you can set it for as long as you like. What are you making that is so long?

You cannot program this heater to come ON at a certain time. The timer function is only about shutting the heater OFF after a given time. For example, when I am getting ready for work, I don't want to risk forgetting to turn off the heater, so I set the timer for 1 hour so that, in case I forget to turn it off, it will shut itself off.

If set on one hour you can press the button and advance thr timer to two hours, press it again it will go to three hours, press again and it goes to four hours. When at four hours pressing the button resets the unit to off. If you unplug the unit it resets itself to off.

The timer can be set for any number of minutes/seconds up to 99:59; I think that is max. Can completely set the time to your needs.

The timer is an "on/off" device. It operates on time, not flow volume. It can be set on, without timing, or on for up to 120 minutes.

Yes, it is not a timer per se, but anything plug into it will turn off in the set number of hours, from 1 to 8 hours.

I will try to check it this up an comming week end. Then I will get back to you later on this site if you don't already have the solution.

No, it is a standard timer that only goes up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. You have to reset it every time you use it.

Can set it for amount of time but not set a specific time.... Not a clock but only a timer.

Yes, it has a timer. It's packed away so I can't tell you the features of the timer.

Yes there are time settings such as 60, 120, 180 minutes. It shuts off on whichever time you set it on

You can set the off/on timer for up to an 8 hour period, but I do not think you can do it on interval times.

No, this does not have a timer. I have to switch it on/off manually. However, I like it since I do not have to pull the plug out after use.

Hi Donna: There is no way to turn this timer off. It serves it purpose and that's about it. I guess we get what we pay for.
