Setting the Night Mode Temperature 

and Activation

The furnace has a 

Night Mode

 feature that will reduce 

the temperature in the muffle and raise the lift to prevent 
moisture build up. 

The 

Night Mode

 can be started from 

idle mode

 or while 

a program is running. 

The furnace will automatically enter 

Night Mode

 if no 

buttons have been pressed for 2 hours, or 45 minutes 
have passed since the last run program and no buttons 
have been pressed.

The furnace comes from the factory with the 

Night Mode

temperature set at 150° C (302° F). This temperature may 
be adjusted from 0 to 400° C (752° F).

If

 is activated while a program is running, the 

furnace will go to the 

night mode

 temperature after the

NOTE: DURING SHIPPING THE MUFFLE MIGHT ABSORB 
MOISTURE FROM THE AIR. SO, IT IS RECOMMENDED 
YOU HEAT THE MUFFLE TO DRY THE MOISTURE 
BEFORE FIRING ANY PORCELAIN. TO DRY THE MUFFLE, 
SET THE IDLE TEMPERATURE TO 400° C (752° F) FOR 
ONE HOUR AND THEN 600° C (1112° F) FOR ONE HOUR.  
IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED YOU KEEP THE FURNACE 
ON WITH SUFFICIENT NIGHT MODE TEMPERATURE TO 
PREVENT MOISTURE FROM ACCUMULATING INSIDE 
THE MUFFLE. THE RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE 
IS A MINIMUM OF 150° C (302° F). IF LEAVING THE LAB 
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, YOU MAY TURN 
THE FURNACE OFF WITH THE TABLE IN THE CLOSED 
POSITION. BEFORE FIRING PORCELAIN AGAIN, GO 
THROUGH THIS DRY OUT PROCEDURE.
