Studio Pro 17 Features
Dual Access Design
The Studio Pro 17 features a Dual Access Design. The Dual Access Design simply means you have the choice of entering the chamber through
the Top or through the Front.
Top entry offers many unique advantages. Top entry allows for the use of forming tools that require a vertical approach. It also offers easy
placement of large ware such as slumping molds and forms. The hinged lid, with its built-in venting allows for excellent ventilation
opportunities.
Front entry offers its own unique advantages. Front entry grants wide open access to the kiln floor. This wide open access is excellent for ware
placement, particularly for ware that cannot be moved once positioned. The gentle, hinged action brings the chamber back down with precision
and confidence. Front entry also makes possible the use of forming tools that require a horizontal approach.
Fiber Lid with Suspended Heating Elements
The lid of the Studio Pro 17 is constructed of a special fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This
design also allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat transfer and firing efficiency.
Wide and Sturdy Handles
We've fitted the Studio Pro 17 with two wonderfully wide and sturdy bar handles. These corner mounted handles are placed well away from
the kiln for easy, gloved hand operation. You'll enjoy using them.
Set-Pro & Rampmaster Controls
Your Studio Pro 17 was shipped with separate operating and programming instructions for the Set-Pro and Rampmaster controls. Each control
style includes our Express Mode programming for quick and easy use along with the ability to define your own, custom programs.
Bench Top or Floor Placement
The Studio Pro 17 is designed to be used either on a counter/bench top or placed within the included stand. The choice is yours. Regardless of
your choice of use, the supporting surface (what the kiln is sitting on, on your counter/bench or on your floor) must be made only of a non-
combustible material.
Automatic Power Interrupt Switch
The Studio Pro 17 is equipped with an automatic, power interrupt switch. This power interrupt switch disconnects electrical power from all of
the heating elements when either the lid or chamber is opened. This feature is designed to allow for safe access into the kiln.
While the Power Interrupt Switch is designed as a guard against electric shock it remains advisable to avoid touching the heating elements with
anything when the kiln is plugged into (connected to) the electrical supply.
