where the glass can touch with a separator.
Once the kiln has been loaded with the glass to be fired, lower the lid and
clamp shut the clasp to ensure the lid seal remains tight throughout the firing.
Plug the kiln into a 13 amp wall socket outlet.
Enter the firing cycle and start the KCR2.
What to expect on the initial firing
Once the KCR2 has been stated and after a slight delay a red dot will appear
on the controller display and a quiet click will be heard from the KCR12 This is
the internal relay of the controller turning the kiln power on.
This click will be heard to click on and off at various points through the cycle as
the KCR2 regulates the kiln temperature.
As mentioned on previous pages, a slight odour will be released and the
insulation binders burn out.
Looking after your kiln
REMEMBER, the kiln is for stained glass applications, fusing and slumping. IT
IS NOT A MOULD DRYER.
Moulds used for slumping contain a huge amount of water, it is recommended
that the mould is thoroughly dried prior to insertion in the kiln. The kiln will
operate with a wet mould in it but the kiln was not designed to expel large
quantities of water vapour from its chamber. Continued use of wet moulds in
the kiln chamber could result in premature deterioration of the kiln structure.
Care must be taken not to load the kiln to a height that will result in the
elements being closed on to the load. This invariably results in broken element
tubes.
When shutting the kiln lid, gentle operation will also prevent accidents.
The lid insulation of your Hobbyfuser
3 is press cut and then machined together
under pressure to ensure that the insulation is fitted to its maximum strength
and to ensure many years of service. This process does mean that extra care is
needed to keep the brick tops clear of objects when closing the lid as repairs to
the lid seal are difficult and may result in the lid needing to be re-lined.
