    1. Turn on the bottom switch, with the lid cracked about an inch or two, for 1 hour.
    2. Close the lid. Wait 1 hour.
    3. Turn on the second switch up from the bottom, wait 1 hour.
    4. Turn on the next switch, wait 1 hour.
    5. Turn on the top switch, wait for the cone to bend and the Sitter to shut off.
    Your Kiln Sitter does not have a backup timer, so I strongly recommend getting a digital pyrometer so you can track the temperature and make sure it doesn't over-fire. Sitters are known to stick occasionally, so always be there to check the pyrometer and make sure it shut off when it was supposed to. Any digital pyrometer with a heavy duty type K thermocouple LIKE THIS will work. Looks like you have a blank ring also? If you add that onto the kiln, the max temp of the kiln will only be about cone 1.  Without the blank ring it'll get to cone 8, so suitable for cone 6 work.
