CONE FIRE PREPROGRAMMED FIRING PROFILES
The following are the firing profiles for the five speed options in the CONE FIRE mode.
FAST (cone 06 example)
570
°
F per hour temperature rise until the kiln reaches 200
°
F below end setpoint (selected cone temperature), then
200
°
F per hour rise until the setpoint is reached. (Do not use this firing speed for firing above cone 05)
The segment profile chart for FAST is:
SEGMENT RATE TEMPERATURE HOLD
1 570
°
F 200
°
F below setpoint 0
2 200
°
F setpoint 0
The firing time varies depending on the load and the cone selected. Because it takes time for moisture to evaporate
from the ware and for chemical changes to occur, FAST is not recommended for thick hand made pieces.
MED-FAST (cone 06 example)
500
°
F per hour temperature rise until the kiln reaches 1100
°
F, then 400
°
F per hour until the kiln reaches
the final 250
°
F of the firing, then 175
°
F per hour until the setpoint is reached. (Do not use this firing speed for firing above
cone 05). The segment profile chart for MED-FAST is:
SEGMENT RATE TEMPERATURE HOLD TIME (HH:MM)
1 500
°
F 1100
°
F 0
2 400
°
F 250
°
F below setpoint 0
3 175
°
F setpoint
Firing time varies according to load density and cone selected.
