Loading the Studio Pro 24 from the Front
To load the kiln via the front, throw the kiln control panel power switch to the OFF position and simply lift on the chamber handle.
Take the chamber back until the chamber support bar catches on the wireform catch located on the kiln support rails.
Place 4 or 5 shelf posts onto the kiln floor.
We recommend using posts to bring your shelf up off the floor. This technique tends to reduce and
eliminate bubbles. Typical post heights are 1” and 2”.
Place your shelf onto the posts. At this point we think it’s a great idea to gently lower the
chamber to check that the shelf clears the chamber. Reposition the shelf if necessary.
Place your glass artwork onto the shelf. Avoid positioning the shelf or ware directly at the thermocouple (temperature sensor). The
thermocouple needs some space around it in order to operate properly.
To close the chamber, move the chamber support bar from the wireform catch and gently lower.
Open the lid and check for clearance, particularly with the thermocouple. Remember we want to give the thermocouple some space.
Reposition your shelf and/or glass if necessary.
Loading the Studio Pro 24 from the Top
To load the kiln via the top, throw the kiln control panel power switch to the OFF position and simply lift on the lid handle (for best results grasp
lid handle in the center).
Take the lid back until the lid support bar catches on the wireform catch located on the kiln chamber.
Place 4 or 5 shelf posts onto the kiln floor and place your shelf onto these posts.
We recommend using posts to bring your shelf up off the floor.
This technique tends to reduce and eliminate bubbles. Typical post heights are 1” and 2”.
Place your glass artwork onto the shelf. Avoid positioning the shelf or ware directly at the thermocouple (temperature sensor). The
thermocouple needs some space around it in order to operate properly.
To close the lid, move the lid support bar from the wireform catch and gently lower (for best results grasp the lid handle in the center). When
closing the lid be sure that your ware does not make contact with the lid or lid heating elements. This is possible when using tall forming molds
and large pieces and must be avoided.
Firing the Studio Pro
Once the Studio Pro 24 has been properly loaded and closed you may now fire the kiln.
Throw the power switch, located on the kiln control panel, to the ON position. The temperature control will illuminate and programming of the
control is now possible.
A separate instructional manual for the Set-Pro and Rampmaster controls was included with your new Studio Pro 24. Please refer to these
manuals for all programming and operation details.
Initial Kiln Maintenance (Chamber Tightening)
The Studio Pro 24 uses worm-gear clamps to secure the stainless steel chamber jacket to the brick chamber. During firing, particularly on a new
kiln, the stainless steel jacket expands causing the worm-gear clamps to loosen slightly. These worm-gear clamps (located on the left side of the
chamber) must be check for tightness and tightened if necessary. While holding the worm-gear clamp securely with a pair of pliers or channel
locks, use a 5/16” socket to tighten each worm-gear. Snug is good, do not overtighten.
Evenheat recommends that these clamps be checked for tightness after each of the first three firings and then after every other third firing.
