KILN-SITTER
OPERATING MANUAL
Thank you for choosing the KILN-SITTER control on your ceramic kiln. You, like
ceramists the world over, can now enjoy your hobby more because the KILN-SITTER
is "watching" your kiln while you do other things. Years of trouble free firing are yours to
enjoy if you will take the time to carefully read the kiln operating instructions and KILN-
SITTER manual.
The KILN-SITTER is a mechanical control that fires your kiln by the TIME and
TEMPERATURE method of heat treatment using a small cone or bar. The cone or bar,
after being exposed to the proper time and temperature, softens and bends to a pre-
determined angle, shutting off the kiln. Your choice of cone or bar, proper KILN-
SITTER adjustment and tube position determine when the kiln will shut off.
The KILN-SITTER requires very little attention but may need an occasional
adjustment check and replacement of critical parts such as the tube assembly, cone
supports or sensing rod. Frequency of replacement depends on the type of firing being
done, type of clay used, venting and the moisture content of the pieces being fired.
To insure that your KILN-SITTER is properly adjusted, we suggest
you follow the instructions on the following pages and test fire your
empty kiln with the KILN-SITTER before you do anything else.
