What does the left part of the right dial do? (lemmy.world)

Hello 👋

We inherited an old sauna from the previous owner of our house and it has the pictured control panel. The left dial I get and the right side of the right dial is runtime, but I've never figured out what the left side does. It doesn't seem to power the oven while running, so I thought it might be a delay timer, but after running out it just stops.

The stickers say "time preset" and "runtime". I don't know what time preset could be.

The model says "Type 10210" if that helps. Google didn't.

Does someone have a similar model or maybe even a manual? Or just a general idea what the timer could be?

Thanks!

Maybe the time preset does what you think, but its damaged in some way and doesn’t actually turn it on?

Possibly!

Maybe it's just a broken delay timer? I can't think of anything else.

I think right side is delay timer, and left is runtime. Test it by putting dial just to right, and wait when it reaches zero it should start heating.

The right side powers the oven.

Should be countdown until the heater starts.
