QUICK START
1.
Read all precautions before using your controller.
2.
Apply power to the kiln/controller
3.
Clear the display and get to the idle mode by pressing ENTER.
4.
Program the controller.
5.
Review the program before firing to ensure the correct program is ready to fire.
6.
Press Start. -On- will be displayed and then the kiln temperature. The relays and elements will be
cycled on and off to regulate the temperature according to the program.
7.
At the end of the firing the controller will flash the current temperature, firing time, and CPLt.
Press ENTER to return to the IdLE state.
•
IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTE: Before initiating a firing profile or performing any
other function, the controller must be at IdLE. Pressing the ENTER key will clear the display of
errors (E-) or FAIL.
•
In most cases when programming, you will choose an option, then press ENTER to accept the
option.
•
With the display flashing IdLE alternating with the current temperature, you are ready to proceed
with programming.

The CONE FIRE mode uses a patented method to achieve correct heat-work so it is ideal for firing
ceramics. The advantage of using the CONE FIRE method is that a very complicated firing profile
may be chosen with just a few key strokes. The CONE FIRE method helps protect against over
and under firing by carefully tracking and controlling the temperature at the end of the firing as the
cone temperature is approached. The final temperature is adjusted according to the final firing
rate. For example, as the heating elements age and the heating rate slows, the final temperature
will be adjusted downward to ensure the correct amount of heat-work.
•
The VARY-FIRE mode can be used for ceramics, glass, jewelry, glazes, decals, etc. It allows you
to create your own firing profiles which can be saved and used over and over.
•
If there is a kiln sitter on the kiln it must be set according to the manufacturer’s directions. Insert a
cone in the sitter that is one or two cones hotter than the controller setting.
