button has been pushed to abort an operation. The furnace
comes from the factory with the idle temperature set to
0
°
C. The furnace will idle at idle temperature whenever
a program is aborted or finished.

Placing the furnace in night mode keeps the muffle idling at
a low temperature, preventing a buildup of moisture during
the night. This special function password allows the user to
set the night mode temperature of the furnace.
The furnace comes from the factory with the night mode
temperature set to 150
°
C. The furnace will remain at this
temperature when night mode is in operation.
• Pressing the
Night Mode
button while a program is
running will cause the furnace to enter the night mode
after the program has finished running.
• Pressing
Night Mode
while the furnace is idling will
cause the furnace to enter night mode immediately.
Important
— Before firing porcelain for the first time, it is
best to rid the muffle of all moisture. The easiest way to
do this is to use the
Night Mode
for several hours.
