- Constant Temperature Mode: The temperature is fixed at 50°C and cannot be adjusted in this mode.
- Timing Mode: The heating temperature is fixed at 65°C. The drying time can be adjusted from 30 minutes to 8 hours. Time can be increased or decreased in 30-minute steps. Long presses provide acceleration. After the timer expires, the device enters standby mode.
- Schedule Mode: This mode allows for setting time, week, and weekly programs.
- Time Setting: Long press the function button (lower left) for 3 seconds to enter time setting. First, set the hour (0-23H) in 1-hour steps, then the minute (0-59 min) in 1-minute steps. No operation within 30 seconds will exit time setting.
