Hmmm...I bought mine on ebay several years ago, but I don't see my model any longer. I suppose it has been discontinued.
Here's a link beloe to a "no name" winder that has the description of the type of winder I have - "TURN-AND-REST BI-DIRECTIONAL ELECTRONIC PROGRAM". Other higher end brands like Eilux and Orbita make models with these pre-set bi-directional programs as well.
If you got a great deal on your winder (such as through ebay), it will probably cost you more in shipping to return it than it will to just use it. You can always set it for clockwise one day and counterclockwise the next. I wish I could be more help, but every winder I've ever owned has been bi-directional. Maybe some others on the forum have winders like yours who can comment on how well they work when set in a particular direction.
FYI, my program is clockwise for 100 seconds, pause for 300 seconds, and then counterclockwise for 100 seconds.
