In the auto mode, the unit may be programmed to provide power to the appliance at a predetermined time. This is accomplished through the use of a digital display. The unit will provide power to the appliance for one hour and fifty-nine minutes. At the end of this time period, ther switch cuts off all power to the appliance.

Your sample is being returned as requested.
