Hi,
Just moved into a new place and would like hot water in the morning if at all possible
but the timer controls are confusing. (Everything is electric)
The Timer is a Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz:

Manual is here: http://www.horstmann.co.uk/downloads/ElectronicDocuments/Electric-Water-Heating/E7Q-UserGuide.PDF
Now if I turn the clock around to simulate a 24 hour period, it only fires up when 1 hits the "winter time" mark and it stays on till 6 hits the "winter time" mark. So it's on for a 6 hour period.
How do I set when this 6 hour period is? Very confusing because I really just want it on for a couple of hours in the morning and a few hours at night.
EDIT: It does say off-peak heater, maybe it's supposed to only boil from 1-6am and keep warm all day somehow?
Any ideas?
