Ramp and Holding Working Programs are useful while beading and lampworking. When the
program is started the kiln heats fast and then holds at an annealing temperature for the longest
amount of time that is planned to work. In this case 4 hours and if the time to work suddenly
becomes less, then use skip step feature (sstp) (the middle button once and the left button twice)
to advance the segment of the program. This segment has the same annealing temperature to
hold so that the last couple beads have a chance to anneal for a time before the kiln proceeds to
lower in temperature at 100 degrees.
RECAP: If you plan on working for 8 hours making beads and you need to stop after 5 hours,
then skip step will advance you to the next segment so that the last few beads inserted into the
kiln will have a chance to anneal before the kiln starts to cool.
