The switch is shipped in the center, off position, in the box. That is probably your problem. Once timer switch selected, push grey wheel pins down starting at 5:00 PM. Each grey pin is 30 minutes. Once all 8 pins are depressed (9:00 PM), rotate dial to set current time. That should do it.
Was this Answer Helpful ?Push the pins down according to what time you want the timer to start. If you want the timer to start at 6 pm, push down the pins starting at 6 and for 4 hours after. Then rotate the outside disk to the present time and plug into outlet. Thee is a switch above the time that is a bypass feature. Make sure that it is set in the correct position.

Was this Answer Helpful ?The term "countdown" doesn't really apply to this timer. Don't know why the call it that. You set the timer to the current time. You push down the pins that correspond to the time you want the timer activated. Can be set for multiple "on" times during the 24 hr. period.

Was this Answer Helpful ?You set time you want to come on and time you want it to turn off. That simple,
