Where to Locate:
1-
Locate your kiln in a dry, good ventilated, sheltered
place.
2-
Do not keep any combustible materials in the kiln
room. (paints, solvents, gasoline, etc.)
3-
Place your kiln minimum 30 cm. away from the walls
and far from curtains, window frames, etc.
4-
Do not allow the temperature of your kiln room to
exceed 40 °C. Use air conditioner or fans, to lower the
temperature if necessary.
5-
Although your kiln does not give dangerous heat to the
surface it is located on, we recommend it to be sat on
a fire proof plate about 50 X 50 cm., to provide a
safe place to put hot articles remover from the kiln.
6-
Keep the main cord apart from the kiln.

(5) RUNNING THE KILN
At the lower part of the front face, you see the
Control Panel. On the left side of the Panel, is the
3-Position-Swich. When the switch is in the
DISPLAY Position, on the DIGITAL
TEMPERATURE CONTROLER, at the upper
line, in a few seconds you can read the present
temperature of the heating chamber of your kiln.
And at the lower line, the firing temperature
already set. To adjust the working temperature
according to the materials you would be working
with, just do the following steps.
Firing Temperature and RAMP Adjustment
Ramp Function
will give you the opportunity of
heating
OR
cooling
, in a period of time, which you can
easily adjust. Now let’s see how it is done.
Take the switch to “Display” position, wait and see the
“Operation Screen”.
Press “mode” for 3 sec., and see,
Adjust 0000 to any value between 0000 and 0540. (This is
the time -in minutes- which you want the process to
complete) and turn the kiln off.
Take the switch to “Heater” position, wait and see the
“Operation Screen”.
Press “mode”, and see,
Adjust your target temperature as usual and press “mode”
twice.
Now you have started your “1-step- program”. On the
“Operation Screen”, you see 2 numbers: On the upper
row, yellow numbers indicate the present temperature of
heating chamber. On the lower row, red numbers indicate
the determined temperature, the kiln must reach for that
vey moment. This is calculated by the Temperature
Controller and impuls are sent to the heating elements to
keep the heating or cooling process in the limits of the
programm.
SAMPLE OPERATIONS
Operation no I
:
“
I want my Pro-1 to heat up to 650 deg.C, in 90
minutes
”.
Turn on your kiln to “ Display” position and wait for
the “ Operation Screen”.
Press “mode” for 3 sec., and see,
Adjust displaying number to
0090
and press”mode” and then

Turn on your kiln to “ Heater” position,
Press “mode” and see,
Adjust the red numbers to
650
and press “mode” twice.
That’s all.
Now at the upper row you see the present temperature of
the heating chamber and at the lower row the temperature
steps which the controller guides the heating elements to
follow. At the end of the decided period, the kiln will
reach to the Target Temperature step by step.
Operation no II
:
“ I have fired my work, now I want it to
cool down (to
room temp.) in 6 hours( 360 min.)”
(
We assume your kiln is still at “ heater or display”
position
) Press “mode” for 3 sec. and see,
Adjust displaying number to
0360
and turn off the kiln.
Turn on to “Heater” again, press “mode”,
Adjust the red numbers to
0000
and press”mode” and then
press “mode” twice.( or any number bellow your room
temperature).
Operation III:
“ I want my kiln heat up to 780 deg C., at full power).
Turn on your kiln to “ Display” position and wait for
the “ Operation Screen”.
Press “mode” for 3 sec.
Adjust displaying number to
0000
and press”mode” and then
