How to use the PMC (Blue) Kiln

Setting the Kiln:
• Flip the switch to on. After beeping stops the display should read IDLE
o If it does not press Start/Stop until it does.
• Press Start/Stop
• The display should read PROG (the G looks a lot like a 6)
o If not scroll with the up and down arrows until it does. (The other readings you may see are prg1, pro2, etc. up to pro5)
• Press Start/Stop
• The display should flash ra1 and FULL
o If it does not display FULL scroll up with the arrow until it does
• Press Start/Stop
• The display should flash ◦F and 1535
o If not scroll with the arrows until it reads 1535
• Press Start/Stop
• The display should flash hld1 and 4.00
o Hld1 is how long the kiln will keep the temperature at 1535F. Since the actual firing of the enamels only takes a couple minutes, the setting should be 3-4 hours (3.00-4.00 on the display) so that it remains on the entire class.
o If it does not display a number between 3.00 and 4.00 use the arrows to scroll into that range.
• Press Start/Stop
• The display should flash ra2 and 0000
• Press Start/Stop
• The Display should read STRT
• Press Start/Stop
And the kiln is heating up! This is much easier than it looks on paper!!

Turning off the kiln:
• Press Start/Stop
• The display should read IDLE
• Flip switch to OFF.

IMPORTANT-If you are the last person enamelling, please turn the kiln off as instructed above.
