Once in the settings, press the two buttons with + and - (this time on your right) and enter the "time and date" section by clicking the up arrow on your left. Now, using the "+ and -" buttons, adjust the hours and minutes, switching between them with the arrow buttons.

Exit the screen and return to the main one, turn off and then turn on the cluster again to check the result.
