HOLD (SOAK) TIME
“HOLD” or “SOAK” time means heat-soaking the flasks at the end of each segment. You can hold the
temperature in each segment up to 99 hours and 99 minutes.

DELAY FIRE
The “DELAY FIRE” programs the furnace to start its firing run (burnout) at a later time. It zeroes out after

“DELAY FIRE” after you have chosen your program and you reach [ IdLE ] on the display. Press 3 on your
key board. Enter the delay in hours and minutes (such as 3 hours and 45 minutes is 345 - your display will
show [ 03.45 ] ) and the press ENTER. The display will then alternately display [ dELA ] and the time
remaining for the delay.
WARNING: NEVER LEAVE YOUR FURNACE UNATTENDED NEAR THE END OF A FIRING. WE CANNOT

THE OPERATOR ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR TURNING THE FURNACE OFF AT THE PROPER
TIME.
REPEAT FIRINGS & PROGRAM REVIEW
To repeat last firing, just press ENTER from [ ldLE ]. The furnace will begin firing, but first, use your
PROGRAM REVIEW to make sure you are using the correct program. To start PROGRAM REVIEW press 6 on
the key board. Values for the last program used will be displayed one after another. You can also use
PROGRAM REVIEW during firing simply by pressing 6 on the key board.
SETTING THE ALARM BEFORE FIRING BEGINS
The alarm beeps when a preset temperature is reached.

entered.
2) Enter the new alarm temperature. Then press ENTER. [ ldLE ] will appear or the current running profile will
continue.

When the alarm sounds during firing, shut it off by pressing any key. If it sounds as soon as the furnace
begins firing it is due to the fact that the alarm was set to 0000.
