Helpful hint: If you make a mistake
when entering a cone number, don’t be
discouraged. Simply clear the display by
pressing all zeroes. Press Enter. This will
take you back to ConE. The display will
flash the last value that was input correct-
ly. Enter the correct value and Press Enter.
If a number was incorrectly entered for
HOLd, deLA or ALAr, clear the display
by entering all zeros. Enter the correct
digit(s) for the step being programmed.
Press Enter. If you have already pressed
Enter, you must go back through the pro-
gram by pressing Enter until you reach
the point where the mistake was made.
*Caution: Be sure you have entered the correct
Cone number. 06 is much different from 6! If
you are not certain of the difference, check the
Cone and temperature with the Cone Chart in
Appendix 3.
Programming a PREHEATING CYCLE
You can now program a preheating or soaking cycle which will run prior to your Cone
Fire program. The program will go from room temperature at a rate of 80˚/hr. to 180˚
and hold at that temperature for the amount of time you enter up to 99 hrs 99 min.
Preheat Instructions
Press “F/C”, “7”, “5”
“PrHt” alternates with the currently selected option, “on” or “off”.
Use the number “1” key to toggle between these two choices.
Press “ENTER” when the option you want is displayed.
If preheat is on then after pressing the conefire button “prHt” will be
displayed and you enter the time you want to hold. Press “ENTER”
and proceed with conefire programming.
