Is the pre heat set by time or must it be turned on manually each night

It has to be turned on manually each night,but the shut off is timed by the unit internally. Love this item by the way.

No. You can set it to start immediately, and only run for X hours, after that it changes to a warm setting. I love it!

There is a switch on the bottom. You can turn it on and off any time. Or you can turn it to Timer and it will remain on from that moment for the next five hours. Next day at the same time it will automatically come on.

It is not automatic so you have to turn it on when you want it on. There is a switch in the back that you turn to the on position at night and then it will be activated by motion. Turn that switch off in the morning and then it will not be effected by any motion.

There are only the preset hours. It goes to a warming setting after the preset time.

Once you set the temp., it remains at that set temperature until you change it.Even after you turn it off and then on again.

It operates every 6, 12 or 24 hours so setting is done by switching it on at an appropriate time. That is; from the time it is switched on it will be the number of hours you set before it operates.

It turns on and off automatically. Getting it set to exactly the right temperature may take some fiddling around with it, but once it's set it stays.

yep, you just plug it in and its set. it also has a thermostat turning it off when it warms up.

You can turn it on manually and it will stay on until you turn it off or you can set it to come on at dusk and it will shut off after however many hours you like.

When the system is on heat or cool, the bottom key on the right is the menu key. Press that until you see the word "time". Adjust the hours, press time again and and minutes. Press run

Yes, manually turn it on, then connect a timing swith to the socket to turn on/off at your desired perfence. I timed my during the summer months from 8:00PM to 6:00AM. I hope this helps you.

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.

You could use a timer, but only to turn it off before the 10 hours expires. We turn it on manually about 10 minutes before bed time on pre heat low. The directions cover multiple models, so you would have to check the details.

Once the unit is lit, the pilot is the default setting. You can manually turn it on and off or you can use one of the four heat settings. I'm not sure what temperature each setting represents but I've never gone past two. The unit turns itself on and off from the pilot setting based on the ambient temperature.

It should come on automatically when you turn the heater on. Sometimes it takes a few minutes. I think it has to reach a certain temperature before it comes on.

Sorry, I am still trying to find out if you can program different temp setting for different times. No one seems to be able to answer the question.
