I been using it a week so far anyway - lol, it sounds like it is safe to use and just damage to the timer is possible. For what the timer cost I'll see how long it lasts :wink:

I asked a similar question not so long back - http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19210&highlight= With not having radiator thermometers I decided to leave it on low(1). All the radiators heat just fine on low just as they do on medium so I leave mine on low. On a higher setting it...
