Need instructions for Sankey Gro Warm 100
 
Someone kindly gave me the above, an 'entry-level' electric propagator, but unfortunately without instructions! Would anyone happen to have a set they could scan and email to me? or describe how to use it?

Thanks!

Is there a heating control?
If not it's a fixed temperature one so nothing to do but switch it on
placed on a sunny windowsill, inert seeds in pot or tray, ensure some
ventilation for sunny days and wait.

Energy consumption? Not very much. Like less than a 60 watt bulb imo as
it will have a thermostat and switch itself on and off.

If you really want instructions , look at various manufacturers'
websites and download instructions from them.. basically an electric
propagator is and electric propagator =/- a temperature control.

The adjustable thermostats in these thing if provided are rubbish. So if you find yourself knowing your precise temperature requirements it's possible to get a small digital thermostat module quite cheaply and wire it into the mains lead having turned the built in one to max.
I bought a couple of these years ago on ebay for some specialised propagation I was doing. They control the temperature to +/- 1C and also can set the hysteresis so the thing isn't turning on and off every few moments.
