Hallo:
Agreed with Kris.
I am using an Electronic Programmer, called ACL Lifestyle Model LP522, with my old boiler central heating.
It has off, on, once and twice functions too.
I can programme the programmer with a hidden compartment at the bottom; just flipping it down.
There are two programmes' options:
1) Monday to Friday - time come on and off
2) Saturday to Sunday - time come on and off
I can re-programme it by pressing "SET" button in the hidden compartment to select an option and by changing the ON/OFF time with the + or - buttons. Initially, I was not sure whether it would work correctly, as I wanted.
Therefore, I just programmed it to come on just for a 10mins to check. Trial and error. Well, it works for me.
Have you tried to find out the model of the programmer and do a search in a search engine to see if it could come up with some manual?
I found my manual from Google (the first result - PDF file):

Good luck.
