I have a house with these storage heaters and I have no idea how best to use them?

They are the Softline version which come with only an input and output option and no timing for when they should come on! After finding a manual it seems they should be always on input all day? And then the output will automatically come on at the right time and then stop until it comes on again the next day!

Is this correct? I am not too sure as I tried this and my electric went through the roof and doesn’t seem very economical to me hut on the other hand using them randomly when it gets colder also uses a ton of electric so I am unsure of which option is best and if the one in the manual actually works properly!

Any guidance or advice on this? They are due to work inline when the electric is at a lower cost overnight but I can’t see how they do that without a timer?

Should I be leaving the input on all the time and then adjust the output when I want heat? It is baffling me because when I turn the heater on it for just input is uses so much electric

Thanks
