I found my manual...simplified version:
1) On the panel - press the manual button 3 times until Auto is lit - the remote can now be used
2) press on - on the remote
3) press the desired time (2, 4, 6 or 8 hours) on the remote
4) press repeat on, on the remote
Timer should be set!! =)
Pressing auto off wipes out anything that was programmed!!
Pictures attached!
