Not sure why you'd put a washing machine on timer anyway, I just put
it on when I have a load of washing to do. Timers are for things
like lights or heaters.


If you were on an Economy 7 tariff you would think differently!

Most recent machines require mains supply to hold the settings until you
press the start button - or the onboard timer selects start. I guess the
timer manufacturer is warning of this likelyhood to avoid complaints.
