Putting the kiln into service
When using the kiln for the first time, heat it up slowly until the final temperature is reached.
A slight development of smoke is normal when putting the kiln into service.

Operation:
Controller operation
Use the temperature controller to control the heating temperature of your furnace. Plug
the supplied temperature sensor into the sensor socket on the back of the unit.
After switching on, the controller first shows all display segments, then briefly the current soft
ware version. Current software version. Then it changes to the operating mode. In the operating
mode, the controller basically displays the actual values in green and the setpoints (either
temperature or time) in red. Displayed / set values or menus have been marked in this
in this manual with square brackets [ ].

Display
heat
If „E - 05" is displayed, the temperature sensor is not plugged in or is defective.
The program controller can be used to set a slow heating speed (menu – [R ‚SGR] –) up to a
freely selectable drying temperature (menu – [Set 1] –). After reaching this drying temperature,
the controller approaches the final temperature (Menu – [Set 2] –) with maximum heating speed.
The firing temperature is maintained over the firing time (Menu – [MA.t]). The program controller
can be used to set a slow cooling speed (Menu – [FAC.GR] –) up to a freely selectable tempera-
ture (Menu – [Set 3] –). After that, the controller switches to – [StoP] –. The actual temperature
in the furnace continues to be displayed.
The slow heating is switched off by setting the drying temperature [Set 1] to [20°]. The slow
cooling is shadowed when the cooling temperature [Set 3] is identical to the firing temperature
[Set 2].
