Adjusting Heating Rate and Setpoint
You may want to adjust your Heating Rate and Setpoint temperature to match the project you
are working on. The standard heating rate is factory set at Full (as fast as it can go) and the set-
point is set to 1100 F. This should take between 30 minutes and 1 hour to reach temperature
depending on factors such as strength of voltage or age of elements. You can adjust the Heat-
ing Rate and Setpoint Temperatures in either IdLe Mode (Before the Firing) or Heat-up Mode.
You can also adjust the Setpoint in Setpoint Mode.
