Ok all plugged in!!

Garage Programme.. is this when your making beads and want to fill it before you start to cook? do you have to wait until it reaches 520 before putting any in?

Batch Anneal ... is when you use blanket or vermiclite first ???

What should the tempreture be at its highest for beads?

gararge ....keeping beads at a temperature till ready to cook whole lot ...but in straight from torch.....turn on kiln and then get ready to play ....so will get to temp before you start ...will click on every now and then to maintain temp .......it is programmed to do all this so dont worry about any buttons, tempertures etc ....

batch ........cooking beads already cooled using vermiculite or blanket ...put in cold ...and kiln will heat up slowly ....hold ...then cool. slowly....again programmed to do all this so just let it do its stuff ....
