This is how I was taught to soak an electric kiln with a sitter, if I'm
wrong then someone please correct me.
When the sitter shuts off, push the round button in the middle back on
(I'm not sure what the correct names are for the parts). If you have
switches, turn all off except for the highest one. If you have knobs,
turn the bottom one off and the top one to high.
I'm not sure about older kilns that have just one knob -- does anyone else??

Well, you could sit there and turn it on/off for the soak time.
The reason I think of this is that my kiln's temperature rate is
controlled by a mechanical motor-driven switch that turns the elements
on, then off, each minute, and the on/off percentage can be set with a
dial. It works well, but you wouldn't want to do it manually for very
long.
