Please could someone advise on what the 3 switches are and how to use this thing ???

I believe the bottom switch is set by the timer and so won't come on unless the timer tells it too and that the top should always be on and the middle should only be put on if I run out of hot water ????

2 of us have 2 showers and a bath a day pus 2 lots of washing pots my question is how should I have it set and how do I do this ? I've never lived alone and my grandparents house had just a boiler one switch nothing as complicated as this please help [/url]

top on with a light = main fuse spur leave this on it switchs everything else on.

middle one is an immersion that will heat the top half of your cylinder (when you dont need a hole tank)

bottom one is an immersion that will heat the when you want the hole thing hot

both when you want it hot fast.

ps your stil not living alone if theres two of you

Yea your correct I meant to say we've nerve lived alone lol
Thanks for your reply that's what I thought but I've now just got up to have a bath thinking the timer was set to best the tank for 2 hours before we get up using off peak electricity and it seems that either I've messed up the timer or there is a different problem. Now should the bottom switch be out if it's turned on or will that switch only light up when the timer is on ie my timer should be set to 5am - 7am so would that switch only light up between them times or is the fact it's not lit all the time my problem ? Thanks again for your help
