Programming the Memco Oven/Furnace Controller
Default Set-up


Step Generation for the Memco Oven/Furnace Controller

Enter the information requested below.  You must make a selection for each option.  Enter temperature as degrees F (fahrenheit).  Starting times are calculated from 5:00pm and based on overnight burnouts.  If you want to start the controller right away, when the programming steps are displayed, skip the first step and input remaining steps (ie #2 now becomes #1 and so forth).  Note: to achieve the shortest burnout possible, you should steam dewax your flasks and use Stone Saver in your investment.

To convert celcius (centigrade) to fahrenheit, enter the degrees C here:
