What are the details of the timer settings. I would like to have it on for maybe 10 min. and off for about 30 min. or something like that.

Not really. Seemed to be working fine. As I recalled I just had added more water but it would not start

If you press the timer control until you get 5 yellow lights, it will run for 30, then off for 15 minutes at a time. You can google the instruction manual and get all the time settings.

There are 5 settings for Timer control,they go as follows.1.Unit works continuously. Automatically stops when water level drops too low.2. Unit works continuously for 2 hours and will automatically stop.3. Unit disperses for 5 seconds and rests for 40 seconds.4. Unit disperses for 15 seconds and rests for 50 seconds.5. Unit disperses for 30 minutes and rests for 15 minutes.

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.

Yes. Actually because it also has hours, when you set the timer you have to enter hrs., min., seconds, then start. ie: 00:00:30 to set for 30 seconds. Hope this helps.

Yes, it has timed settings of 30, 60, 90 minutes AND one that will allow it to run until you turn it off. It's GREAT !!!!!

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

My husband said that shortly after installing ours did that and we just turned off for ten minutes, then it worked okay. He did re-check the timer setting and that was okay. So might need to check and make sure its on a time to go off. If it set for a long time till it goes off then that might be the cause.

You can't set it to turn on at a certain time, unfortunately. You can set it to run for a specified amount of time and then it will shut itself off.

Mine is set at half, 3.5 minutes,,,but will only stay on for 5 seconds no matter where the timer knob is set,,, CHEAP PIECE OF JUNK,,,BUYER BEWARE....!

There is not a traditional timer on it. You can set it to run for certain number of hours once it senses darkness. But not to turn on at 6 come off at 10.

First of all, this is a mechanical dial timer. Yes it can be possible to set the box to switch on for "roughly" 30 minutes. The other problem is just because you set the "on "indicator for, i.e. 09:00 A.M. does not mean that at exactly 09:00 the box goes on. There is a few minutes either way for it to switch on. As for switching off, i.e 09:30 the timer starts to shut off before 09:30 and the dial can not be turned during this time by hand. This locking up of the dial lasts for roughly 20 minutes or so. You must remember that this is a rather primitive clockwork system. It works well but it not a digital mechanism. I am on my fourth unit between my former home and the current on I reside in. They have all worked the same way. I hope this helps.

Touch the button on the right and the timer will go off. That button turns it on and off.

to the best of my knowledge there was no timer option. I would say I am about 75% sure on this. I would check, but I do not have the unit near by.

You have to buy a timer. It tells you that you need for it to be a timer that has complex off/on switching. I bought a simple timer with 10 minute buttons and it worked fine (less than $10).

No you can't for this model. The timer is for one hour. You push a button to turn it on. You can manually turn it off by pushing the button, but if you do not it will run for 1 hour. Hope this helps.

No you have to push the button on the top to turn it on and then the timer begins and shuts off on whatever setting you have it on 30min, 3hr, 6hr.

You can set the timer for up to 180 min. I believe if shuts off after 180 min if you do not set the timer.

hi Vicki, I have not been able to get it to do this. I don't even remember reading that this was possible in the instruction manual but granted I don't have the instruction manual anymore. But after looking at the timer itself -there are a total of 8 timer settings. So you could in essence run it for 1 minute starting at lets say midnight, then it would turn off, then start it again for a minute 15 minutes later, and so on for a total of 8 cycles. But that's really the extent of the extendable programming.
