So I don't want to mess this up and burn out the pump. I just got the Icecap kalk stirrer and I really like it, but I have been manually turning it on and off, and as you can guess, leaving it on for longer than I should. I want to program one of my EB8 outlets to run this 4x a day for 3 minutes at a time. I don't really care the times, I assume every 6 hours would be best. If you could please help. Laughably what I have so far is below.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If 05:00 Then On
 
The OSC (short for Oscillate) is the best way to do this:

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/003:00/357:00 Then ON

The 3 timers are:

000:00 -- How long to wait before turning On
003:00 -- How long to remain On
357:00 -- How long to remain Off. This is 6 hours minus 3 minutes.

The times are relative to midnight, so it will run at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, and 18:00. It will repeat this cycle indefinitely as long as the output slider is set to AUTO.
