7. FIRST FIRING
Three of the
CUSTOM
programs have been programmed
by the factory to simplify the first firing process.
Once this process has been completed they may be
reprogrammed at will.
7.1 FIRST FIRING IN ONE FIRING (16 HOURS)
7.1.1 START.
1. Start with the display reading
IdLE
and flashing a
temperature or
StOP
and temperature.
7.1.2 CHOOSE CUSTOM PROGRAMMING

CUSTOM
2. See
CUSt
3. Press
ENTER
7.1.3 PICK CUSTOM PROGRAM #1

,
CUS2
,
CUS3
or
CUS4
. These
are the four custom programs.
2. Scroll to
CUS1
with the
UP
and
DOWN
button.
3. Select
CUS1
by pressing the
ENTER
button.
7.1.4 MOVE THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND START
1. Press
ENTER
for each display prompt that you see as
the control scrolls through the enter
CUS1
program
until you see
FIrE.
2. Press
ENTER
again when you see
FIrE
and the
One-Touch control will start firing the kiln using the
CUS1
program.
3. You will know it is firing because the display just reads
the kiln temperature steadily. You will probably also
hear the relays clicking on and off.

later in this manual which will show you a list of values
for
CUS1
you see while pressing
ENTER.
7.1.5 REVIEW PROGRAM

REVIEW
button to review the program.
2. You can do this when you see the
FIrE
display,
CUS1

CUS4
or while firing (when
you see the kiln temperature).
3. The display will scroll though the name of the program
(i.e.
CUS4
), then the number of segments, then all the
ramps, temperatures and holds in sequence.
4. The display changes rapidly so you may have review
more than once to see everything.
7.1.6 COMPLETE
1. When the program is complete, you will see
CPLt
.
2. If the Beep option has been turned to “
On
” then the
control will beep about 15 times. If the beep option
is set for “
OFF
,” then there is no sound. If the beep
option is set for “
FULL

button is pressed. See the OPTIONS section in these
instructions for how to change this option.
7.2 FIRST FIRING IN TWO FIRINGS (2 x 9
HOURS)
1. Go through the above process but do it in two
programs. It works the same as above except that you
run the two separate programs at different times.
2.
CUS2
is the first program and that takes about 9
hours.
3.
CUS3
is the second program and that also takes
about 9 hours.
4. See the list of Preprogrammed Custom Programs later
in this manual for a list of values you see while pressing
ENTER.
8. TURNING ON THE KILN
1. Make sure your circuit breaker or fused disconnect
switch is turned on and the kiln is plugged in.
2. Turn on kiln with the toggle On/Off switch on the control
box.
3. You will see a software code flash briefly. Then you
will see either
IdLE or StOP
alternating with a
display of the current kiln temperature.
9. THREE MODES OF OPERATION
9.1 SIMPLE (Bisque or Glaze)
1. Press one of two buttons marked
BISQUE
and
GLAZE
.

depending on
which button you pressed.

is a slow bisque to Cone 04. The
GLA
is
a medium glaze to Cone 06.
