2. 

OFF

 turns off the beeper. 

3. 

FULL

 makes the beeper stay on until any button is 

pushed.  

4. 

On

 makes the beeper sound 15 times and then turn 

off.

5.    If  you  don’t  want  to  change  this  option  then  press 

ENTER.

16.2.2 MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE

1.  On  a  Cone  6  Version  (School-Master):  Maximum 

Temperature (Deg C) 

927

1093

, and 

1249

 are 

options.

2.  On a Cone 10 Version (Liberty-Belle, Doll, Fuego, 

Robin):  Cone 10 models have a preset maximum 

temperature limit of 

1288 

and you will not see the 

“Maximum Temperature” option come up.

16.2.3 TEMPERATURE INDICATION

1.   

oF

 (Deg F) or 

oC

 (Deg C). 

2.  When you are in Deg C, you will always see a little dot 

in the display at the bottom right to remind you. 

3.  Use the 

UP 

or 

DOWN 

button to change the value and 

then press 

ENTER.

16.2.4 THERMOCOUPLE OFFSET

1. 

OFFS

  (+/- deg F)

2.  Display shows 

OFFS

3.  Press the 

UP

 arrow to enter a positive offset. 

4.  Press the 

DOWN

 arrow to add a negative sign to the 

offset, and then the 

UP

 arrow to add negative offset to 

the control. 

5.  The control comes with a pre-prog18 Deg F 

offset to compensate for the thermocouple protection 

tube. 

6.  Note: if you first press the 

DOWN

 button you can only 

set a negative value or if you first press the 

UP

 button 

you can only enter a positive value. 

7.  You can go back and change this later if you make a 

mistake.

Note: you can adjust how the kiln fires by adjusting the 

thermocouple offset. For instance, if your kiln if firing cool 

(according to a witness cone placed in the kiln) then you can 

add positive Offset. If it is firing hot then you can reduce the 

offset or put in a negative offset. Try doing this in 5 degree 

increments.

17. MESSAGES & DISPLAYS

CndL 

Candle Time (this is a low temperature firing used 

to dry moisture from the clay)

COnE 

Cone to fire to

COOL 

Cool down rate. 

OFF 

(natural cooling), 

SLO 

(Slow), 

MEd 

(Medium), 

FASt

 (Fast)

CPLt

  Firing Cycle Complete (firing time is alternately 

displayed).

dELA

  Delay.  Displays when entering the delay time 

(hour:minutes) until the start of the firing.

DLy

  Delay.  Alternates with the remaining delay time 

until the start of the kiln.

°F# 

  Segment temperature in °F–Set temperature for a 

user program. (# stands for numbers 1 through 8)

°C#

  Segment temperature in °C – Set temperature for 

a user program.  A decimal point will display in lower right 

corner. (# stands for numbers 1 through 

8

)

EdIt

  Edit the default options (beeping at complete, 

temperature scale, cone fire, delay, maximum programmable 

temperature)

ErrP

  There has been a power interruption that has 

stopped the firing.  Press any button to clear.

FASt 

Fast (Heat up or Cool down rate)

FIrE

  Ready to fire current program.  Press 

START

 to 

begin firing.

FULL

  Beeps continuously at end of firing until a button is 

pressed.

HtUP 

Heat up rates.

 SLO 

(Slow), 

MEd 

(Medium), 

FASt

 (Fast)

HLd 

Hold or Soak time at peak temperature

HLd#

  Soak time in hours:minutes at a hold temperature. 

(# stands for numbers 

1

 through 

8

)

IdLE 

This shows up when the control is not firing or is 

not being programmed. Message alternates with the current 

kiln temperature. Similar to 

StOP.

1t-1 

This comes on when you first turn on the control if 

it is a Cone 10 control.

LL-G 

This comes on when you first turn on the control if 

it is a Cone 6 control.
