Model – SQUARE 189GFE 240 or 208 volt
Inside dimensions: 18″ x 18″ wide x 9″ deep, fires to 1700° F
Square 189GFE is a top-loading kiln. Glass firing kilns are used for fusing and 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, and a Bartlett Instruments KilnStar digital controller.
Two-year Limited Kiln Warranty.
Upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen controller for more ramp-hold user programs and multiple features including delay start, preheat, skip step, and many more for precise firings every time. Messages and Information are available for reviewing a firing profile before or during the firing, and viewing the current segment the firing is in. Other options include the lid lift assist, which makes it easy to open and close heavy kiln lids, bead door, quartz glass viewing window, Type S thermocouple, vent, and more!
Furniture Kits for 240-208-volt glass fusing kilns include 2 layers of shelving for stacking ware, assorted square posts, and ceramic paper. Choose the standard furniture kit for the model chosen or build your own with shelves and posts in the quantities required.
