Susan...
Program a new ramp that heats at 9999 to a couple of degrees above where
your kiln is right now, then cools at whatever ramp you desire.
In the future, program your own ramp to duplicate the heating ramp of the
cone fire mode (or whatever ramp you desire), but with the additional
cooling segments you desire.
Good luck.

You can go from a Cone fire program to a Vary Fire program by using the 1=

you want it to take in cooling. I use this on my kilns with just one step=

as you want. Be aware that the program will actually start with step 2, a=

To fire a hot kiln, program a temperature that is higher than the
current kiln temperature. If the target temperature is lower than the
current temperature, the kiln will shut off shortly after you start the
firing.
