Model – 209GFE 240 or 208 volt
Inside dimensions: 30″ wide x 20″ front-to-back x 9” deep, fires to 1700°F
Glass firing oval kilns are designed for large workloads and unusual shapes that do not fit in a cylindrical or square shape kiln and are used for fusing, forming glass shapes, and heat-treating. 240-208-volt glass fusing models are equipped with a lid element for the fusing segment of the glass firing and body elements for the ramping up-down and annealing segments of the firing. An infinite switch controls the intensity of the heat coming from the lid element. If the switch remains in the OFF position, only the body elements will heat the kiln. If the infinite switch is turned to the High position, all elements, both body and lid, heat at the same intensity. The kiln operator may choose to lessen the intensity of the lid element by turning the switch down. Models come equipped with a pilot light, an 18″ tall metal stand or frame, a stainless steel jacket, lid lift assist, peephole plugs, and an instruction manual. Two-year warranty. The 2014GFE is equipped with the Bartlett Instrument 3 Key electronic controller and data is entered by scrolling for the desired temperature for ramp-hold programming.
Additional options include upgrading to the KilnStar digital controller or the Genesis controller with touchscreen technology, a bead door, a quartz glass viewing window, a lid element in quartz rods, a Type S thermocouple, a vent, and much more!
Furniture Kits for the 209GFE include two layers of shelving for stacking ware. Choose the standard furniture kit for the model chosen or build your own with shelves and posts in the quantities required.
