I would appreciate help on programming a V6-CF controller on an oval olympic
electric....with particulars of firing up and firing down.
Zakin's book, on Electric Kiln Ceramics, discusses some sort of soak at 1900
degrees , when coming down, but does not really explain how to do it.....how
many hours from ^6 down to the 1900 and then how many hours at 1900, and
then the cooling cycle.
If any of you firing gurus out there can elucidate some sort of schedule to
progam this controller (as well as doing it manually--with switches)---it
would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Susan,
I think you already have a description close at hand. Look on p 144 of Ron's
and my book for the schedule we used. It is a pretty good starting point
for both bisque and glaze firings. Then adjust to fit your own needs.
Regards,
John
