13.2. Information on firing programs
 The preset controller programs are simple sample programs for biscuit, earthenware and stoneware firing.
 These programs must be checked before firing to allow the firing temperature, heating rates and soak times to
be adapted to the materials used.
 The variety of ceramic bodies, engobes, glazes and decorative colours as well as different types, sizes and
performances of the kilns used, and individual furniture set assemblies, types and quantities of products to be
fired make it difficult to make generally applicable recommendations.
 We advise against using uncontrolled full power heating ramps (“FULL”) to protect heating elements and the kiln
from unnecessary wear and to allow for repeatable firing results.
 The preset program no. 1 “Initial firing” is used for:
 the initial firing of the kiln after commissioning
 after replacing new heating elements (oxidation firing)
 the initial firing of new furniture material (stilts and batts)
 When using program no. 1 “Initial firing”, the inlet and outlet air openings of the kiln must be open. Please also
consult the kiln instruction manual.
