I recently inherited a small "vintage" cress kiln. My mother was a China painter but I don't recall her ever using this kiln.

I thought I could maybe use it to heat up my ingot molds and melt my silver (currently I melt in a crucible and heat the mold with my torch but never seem to get the mold warm enough).

My problem is I have NO idea how to use the kiln and cannot locate a manual online. Does anyone have any experience with this type kiln or a resource I could check into for more information? I am attaching some quick photos I took of the info plate and dial. It is a front opening I would call tabletop kiln "Cress C100E"

Thank you for any direction you may send me!
