deleting "power on" using pmset

Now that we must use pmset in Terminal to set scheduled events, and not System Settings / Energy Saver on a Mac, I have been unable to stop my computer from waking at 6AM.


From pmset "-g sched" the following is displayed:


Repeating power events:

wakepoweron at 6:00AM every day

sleep at 10:00PM every day


I get an error saying " Badly formatted date" when I type "pmset sched cancel wake MTWRFSU “6:00AM"


What would be the correct format to delete that power event?
