de-lurking for kiln help (paragon snf kiln)

John, here is how to turn off the Paragon SnF manually after the witness
cone bends:

The top switch is an infinite control. It turns off the same way as your
Crusader.

The second switch (and third, if you have one) is a switch-timer. Turn
clockwise until it clicks.

The confusion about the SnF is the switch-timer. When you turn the pointer
to a number, you are setting hours of time that will elapse before that
switch turns on. As the timer runs during firing, the pointer will turn
clockwise until it points to "On." Turning clockwise one more click will
turn it off.

Sincerely,

Arnold Howard
