Ceramics Programming (Bisc or Glaze)
Programming in Novice mode is the easiest method to program the controller to fire ceramics.
Programming consists of choosing a cone number, firing speed, and a preheat time. The firing speed is
chosen by the type of firing and thickness of the clay used. All 4 speeds below will calculate the firing
rate at the end of a firing and adjust the final temperature for correct heat-work.

You’re ready to load a different program into the controller
memory.

What are you

Next
Use the scroll bar to choose the desired cone number for the
firing. Remember, cone numbers starting with a 0 are a
lower temperature than cone numbers not starting with a 0.
For example, don’t mistake a cone 6 for a cone 06!
4
What speed?
Choose the firing speed either Fast, Medium, MedSlo, or
Slow.
Fast
Fast is the fastest firing speed and is used for glaze firings on
thin ware, china paint firings, and decal firings. Firing times
range from 4 to 5 hours.
Or
Medium
Medium is used for firing glaze on thicker ware or for bisque
firing very thin ware. Typical firing time is 6-8 hours
depending on the cone number.
Or
MedSlo
MedSlo is used to bisque medium pieces or thinner ware
that requires less time for water smoking and carbon burn-
out. Typical firing time is 9-11 hours, depending on cone
number.
Or
Slow
Slow is used to bisc thicker, hand thrown ware. The slow
speed gives extra time for release of water and carbon burn-
out. Typical firing times range from 13-17 hours depending
on the cone number. Hand built pieces may need a preheat
stage.
5
Preheat Time?
Choose the preheat time, either None, 4 Hr, 8 Hr, or 12 Hr.
None
No preheat time is needed when the pieces are a thin, bone
dry bisc or glaze.
Or
4 Hr
Use a 4 hour preheat time for thicker, slightly wet pieces.
Or
8 Hr
Use an 8 hour preheat time for thick, wet pieces.
Or
12 Hr
Use a 12 hour preheat time for hand built, kids pieces.
