    You will not ruin a piece if you bring it or hold it at the highest
    temperature (assuming it doesn't contain material that will be
    ruined there such as sterling or stones. Do not exceed the highest
    temperature allowed.  However, you may use a faster time at the
    higher setting or a slower time at a lower setting. I am told that
    it does not affect porosity when fired at a lower temperature but
    there have been threads that have questioned that finding.
