VerifiedHi I am Rick, UK Plumber, and I specialize on Boiler problems, is this a Pro, Plus, Exclusive etc.
OK you have the old mechanical clock, the tappets need to go out for on and in for off, so if you want heat from 7 am to 7 pm, then all the tappets from 7 am round to 7 pm need to be out, if you do not want heat say 1 pm till 2 pm the just push the tappets in between 1 pm and 2 pm.
