If it is anything like the two controllers I have programmed, just click the select button (it may say start/stop) and it will show the program number that you used last.  If that is the one you want to use, just click the select button again until you have ok'ed all the settings for ramp, temp and hold time, and then click the select button one more time to start.

If you want to set up a new program, you need to use the up arrow to select an unused program after you have pressed the select button the first time. 

Was this at all clear??  as mud?  Good luck!

Is it an SC2? Did you press the start/stop button instead of the up button? Just keep pressing the start/stop button till it comes round to on again, and give it a few minutes to see where it settles before trying to adjust it again.
