1. Go to Firewall->Schedules. Add a schedule for the days and times that you want to allow access.
2. Add a rule at the top of the rules for the interface that allows (pass) all traffic, click "Display Advanced" at the bottom of the rule settings, choose the schedule.
3. After the pass rule, put a block rule that blocks the traffic at all times.

During the schedule period the pass will be in effect. Outside of the schedule, the pass rule will be disabled and the block rule will be in effect.

If you have no other rules on the interface, then you can omit the block rule at step (3), if you like. The default action is to block anyway.
