Video: Setting Temperature and Time (Watch this before first use — required.)
Controller quick-reference: press the left arrow key to change set temperature, then press set to save; press the set key and step to "t1" to change cure-cycle time. The display shows actual oven temperature on top and set temperature below, and the countdown timer starts only after the oven reaches and stabilizes at set temp — note the timer counts up from 0.

Typical cure: follow the powder manufacturer's spec (usually 350–400°F for 10–20 min at part temperature, not air temperature). Heavy parts need extra soak time.
This oven is for coatings only — never food, never solvent-wet parts.
