How do I add a "stay on 5 minutes longer" at sunrise and "come on 5 minutes earlier" at sunset to my TORK SS700Z timer swtich?

It appears to be mentioned in the manual, but it is too tiny to read.

You posted under ST01C Intermatic timer.
The Intermatic has a battery
If you have another timer, such as the Utilitec, please answer and I will help you with that problem.

Here is the ST01C manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-st01c.pdf

If I understand correctly, you are programming the timer for the first time.
And you want to set timer for sunrise/sunset.

I have a ST01C in my hand right now
Section 6 says you can select astronomic function which is dawn-to-dusk
I notice that when you want to get to the Dusk cycle, you press ON-off button until Dawn shows ... and then press + key and Dusk shows on display

Answer back. These timer manuals are hard to figure out sometimes.
