How do you turn off a Paragon SNF kiln?

Updated on Jan 24, 2025

To turn off the Paragon SNF manually after the witness cone bends: The top switch is an infinite control. Turn to the OFF position. 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.
