The“Timing” light will begin to flash at a rate corresponding to the turn-up rate; fastfor short turn-up times, or more slowly for longer turn-ups. The “Heating” light willalternately flash on and off as the automatic turn-up controller switches yourkiln’s heating system on and off.

This may be done at any time during the firing. |
