cstovin Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi all I have a cress 25P for the life of me I can't figure out how to run; my pottery teacher said that firing it for pottery isn't going to work, it is more a "hobby kiln", but I am sure they are able to fire to cone 6 it has a temperature wheel, a thumb-wheel numbered I think 1-10; and the hourly timer. the hour and temperature timer I think I get. what their instructions are lacking, is information about the thumb wheel There is also a setting on the side that you can set to fire faster or slower So, here is the question, how is the thumb wheel supposed to work? If I fire on the slowest speed, put the temperature at cone 6; once the thumb wheel has reached 10, does the kiln shut off? ANY HELP would be appreciated - I just can't get a clear picture of how this is supposed to work; have a manual, but it doesn't have any information on this specific configuration thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstovin Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Thank you, I have called Cress and wasn't too impressed with the help; they also do not have a manual. they directed me to their website, which manuals do not have the specified controls/combination of controls that mine has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no kiln sitter the kiln will not shut off by itself. You have to put cones in the kiln and watch the cones and shut it off manually.
