Thank you for purchasing a RampMaster II equipped kiln from Evenheat. The RampMaster II control is designed to offer a full featured control in an easy to
use design. The RampMaster II offers two, distinct programming modes that allow you to create your own custom firings or use pre-loaded cone
calculated ceramic firing data. You’ll also find a host of “On-the-Fly” features that give you complete control of the firing process. Please take some time to
read this manual. Not only does it cover the basics, it also contains some little gems that are sure to make your command of the RampMaster II a
thoroughly rewarding experience.
CAUTION: The RampMaster II is used to control temperature, it is not a safety devise. Never leave the kiln unattended while firing. Check on the kiln at
the end of the firing to ensure firing program has completed as planned.
CAUTION: Throw control power switch, located on kiln control panel, to the OFF position (O) when not in use.
