AutoFire® Kiln Controller
There are two levels of options available through the OPTIONS key. These enable the user to access additional
firing features. Level 1 contains more frequently used options. These can be entered during either the idle mode
(indicated by display flashing ldLE) or during an active firing cycle. Level 2 options are not used as often (these
are described beginning on page 17). Not all options are available during a firing.
