Ok,
So maybe it would have been a good idea to test the kiln out before putting any beads in but me being me never thought of that!
So i've loaded the kiln (prometheus mini-kiln) and programmed the ramp function to 520 deg in 210 minutes, except i'm obviously doing something wrong as the kiln in less than 30 minutes is already upto 564 deg :o & the display in red reads 565 ??? i'm really not sure what that is!
Can anybody shed any light on it for me?
Cheers

Sorry can not help I have not tried to fire any of my beads yet but will follow the thread for information.

No problem,
I'll let you know the outcome so hopefully you'll have it a bit easier :D
One question you might be able to answer for me though is about the display. The green numbers on the top row are obviously the temperature, so am I right in thinking that the red numbers below are time?
Thanks

I can not remember let me go and turn the kiln on to remind myself
ok when not using a program, The red is the temp you have set it to and the green is the actual temp in the kiln
Hope this helps. I am working from home today if I get a minute later I will set the program and then see what the display reads then,

Jenny,
Don't trouble yourself, I'll work it out eventually ;)
I'm just hoping I've not ruined my beads, I was really pleased with some of them!!!

I've sussed it.... I think ::)
I just got the programming wrong for the ramp us so it got up to temp far quicker than I'd expected it too, it's had 45 mins at the right temp & now I think i've managed to set it correctly so it'll slowly cool down, time will tell!!!
