Hello and thank you!

I have a simple timing circuit for a heater element that is adjustable from 1-7 seconds by a 250K pot. (the less resistance on the pot the shorter the time.) I would like to change the timing range to around .25-2 seconds or so.

Could someone look at the manufacture's circuit drawing .jpg and help me with which resistor(s) would be the proper one to change? Would it be the 47K ohm resistor? I can experiment with the correct ohms just don't want to wreck anything. Thank you so much!

The 47k sets the minimum time along with the 10uF timing capacitor. Lowering the value of the capacitor will shorten the time. 2.2uF should get you close. This should be a better quality low leakage capacitor.
