Where do you get user manual for a utilitech timer model tm01dhbl?
Not sure where you get a manual but I found these directions: Just turn the wheel clockwise until "time now" points at present time, then push down ALL pins in which you want the appliance to be on. If you want the appliance on between 6pm and 8pm then push down ALL pins between 6pm and 8pm. The timer must be plugged and the switch on top set to "timer on" for the internal clock to work and for the timer to turn the appliance on and off.
