Wall-Free Design
The Front Opening concept presents the glass artist a wall-free floor on which to directly build and place the glass work. There’s no need to
transfer a glass-laden shelf to the kiln floor as it’s already there and ready to accept your work.
This wall-free design also gives the glass artist total freedom of movement for glass manipulation and roll-ups. There’s nothing to work around
or avoid, it’s just wide open!
Fiber Lid with Suspended Heating Elements
The lid of the Studio Pro 24 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.
Spring Assisted Lift
To assist in front opening the Studio Pro 24 includes a spring assist feature. This well designed mechanism travels cleanly and does not pull the
artist into the kiln like lesser designs. In the heat of battle you need a smooth and anxious-free movement and the Studio Pro 24 delivers.
Wide and Sturdy Handles
We've fitted the Studio Pro 24 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.
Easy Set-up through Narrow Doorways and Halls
The Studio Pro 24 is shipped partially disassembled for easy set-up and passage through narrow doorways and halls. The floor and chamber are
handled separately allowing for installations where other, comparably sized kilns would not fit.
Kiln Setup and Placement
Kiln Location
Before unpacking and setup of your Studio Pro 24 you will need to make sure your kiln location is adequate for unobstructed and safe
operation.
Place your Studio Pro 24 in a location that offers a level, non combustible surface. The Studio Pro 24 should be placed no closer than 12” from
any wall or 36” from any ceiling surface in all opened and closed positions. All flammable and combustible materials should be removed from
the kiln area. Enjoy your kiln safely.
The kiln location must be strong enough to support the weight of the kiln, personnel as well as shelving and ware to be fired. Please note again
that the surface on which the kiln is placed should be made of a non-combustible material.
The Studio Pro 24 is equipped with power supply cable fitted with a 240V, 50A plug (NEMA 6-50P). The corresponding 240V, 50A receptacle
(NEMA 6-50R) should be located near the kiln’s setup location. The position of the receptacle should be such that the kilns’ plug easily reaches
and plugs in nicely. Stretching the cable to plug it in can cause receptacle failure, avoid this. The power supply cable must also be positioned in
such a way as to avoid a tripping hazard.
Kiln Installation
Your Studio Pro 24 has been shipped in 3 sections for easy placement. Narrow doorways and halls are possible to navigate with each of the 3,
individual sections. This allows you to place the kiln where it would be otherwise impossible or impractical to do with a kiln of this size.
We have produced a separate installation manual that is included with your kiln. Please refer to this manual for proper and safe installation.
