Model – GF2E 240 or 208 volt
Inside dimensions: 20″ x 20″ wide x 9″ deep, fires to 1700° F
The GF2E’s square design expands the firing space provided by traditional cylindrical glass kilns. The model has an element in the lidto provide radiant heat needed when the fusing temperature is reached and elements in the kiln walls for conductive heat. Elements in the firing chamber are used to evenly heat the glass piece and the lid element is used when the fusing temperature is reached. Models have a maximum temperature range of 1700°F to protect the optional quartz glass viewing window but can be reprogrammed to fire to higher temperatures. Glass kiln models 20” wide or larger are equipped with a lid lift assist for easy opening and closing of the kiln lid.
240-208-volt glass fusing kilns come equipped with a pilot light, a tall 18” metal stand or frame, a stainless-steel jacket, and the Bartlett KilnStar digital controller. Included in the kiln package are peephole plugs and instruction manuals.
Two-year Limited Kiln Warranty.
Additional options include upgrading 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 Type S thermocouple, flash arm, quartz glass viewing windows, lid elements in quartz rods, venting, and more!
