Can you set it to turn on at a specific time? We would want it to start up in the early morning, specifically 6am.

No. It is not programable. The owners manual states that the unit is not to be left unattended while operating.I was not real happy with one I got and returned it to Amazon for credit.

No, the timer is strictly a Shut Down Timer. Also of concern to some is a Power Outage will cause the haeater to stop working and it will need to be manually restarted. I expect both of these features were designed this way because of safety concerns, for instance a heater starting in a dangerous environment while unattended.

No. You can program it to automatically come on at a different specific time for each day of the week or at the same time for all 7 days of he week. Same for shut off time. It also has a "random" feature that will vary the on-off times +/- 0-15 minutes if it is programmed to turn on/off at the same time for all 7 days of the week.

You can set the hours, minutes, and seconds separately - so yes, it would be possible to do that. However, to set it up and start it takes pressing several buttons so it may not be the best tool for timing such short intervals.

Yes. You can set it for when you wake. It turns itself off after 2 hours as well.

You must select a time for it to start. So you turn it on, push the other time button, and it will begin to run.

I don't think it works like that, if I'm reading you right - like a timer you set to turn off. It goes by an internal clock you set ahead of time where you set the "on" time and "off" time for each event. I suppose you could set the timer right up until the moment you need it to turn on (maybe a few minutes leeway), but again, you'd have to program it to turn off also at a specific time. Hope that helps.

I don't believe that can be done. I have to set it each time I want to change the wake up time.

Yes, you simply set the program to turn on at 5pm and off at 11pm the same day. This program can be set up for each day or M-F and/or different on Sat and Sun. There is even a Tues-Sat day window that can be used. Multiple time periods are programmable.

yes, and it works well........you have the option of letting it turn on at dusk and letting it run 4 hours, 6 hours or until dawn

I start mine about 10 PM and it will run all night and shuts off around 7 AM. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

You can have is start at sunset and set it for a multiple of hours such as 4 or 5 or? from sunset

yes. example, my settings were: Mon-Thur, Off 3am-6pm. On 6pm-3am/ Fri, Off 3am-Sat 7am On 7am-7pm/ Off Sat 7pm-Sun 7am On 7am-3pm. Very programmable for each of seven days. My opinion though is the more it turns on and off, the shorter the life of the unit.

Absolutely! That's currently the main use for ours. Can program it to be ready at a certain time in the morning, or make it when you get up.

There is a setting for auto start. I don't use that option, so can't speak to how well it works. I use the manual start/stop option.

Currently, I have it on 1 hour before sunrise, then off at sunrise. For night operation it is on at sunset off at 10. I believe it can be set like you want also.
