THIS IS A DROP SHIPPED OR SPECIAL ORDER ITEM. PLEASE CONTACT OR LEAVE A NOTE IN THE COMMENTS BOX REQUESTING ESTIMATED WAIT TIME FOR SHIPPING

Model – GF3ETLC 240 or 208 volt

Inside dimensions: 25″ x 25″ wide x 9″ deep, fires to 1700° F

Square Chamber, Two Loading Styles

The GF3ETLC’s square design expands the firing space available in traditional cylindrical glass kilns, and with its unique top and clamshell-loading feature, you get two kilns in one!

Flash venting, glass raking, and loading shelves with glass positioned are easy and convenient with the clamshell loading feature.

Heat Delivery for Glass Fusing

The model has an element in the kiln lid to provide the radiant heat needed when the fusing temperature is reached, and elements in the kiln walls to provide conductive heat. Elements in the firing chamber evenly heat the glass piece, and the lid element is activated when the fusing temperature is reached.

Temperature Range and Viewing Window Protection

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.

Standard Equipment and Inclusions

240-208-volt glass fusing kilns come equipped with a pilot light, a tall 18″ metal stand or frame, a stainless steel jacket, and a Bartlett KilnStar digital controller. Included in the kiln package are peephole plugs and instruction manuals.

Warranty

Two-year Limited Kiln Warranty.

Controller Upgrade and Options

Consider upgrading to the Genesis touchscreen controller for more ramp-hold user programs and additional features, including delay start, preheat, skip-step, and 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.

Options include Type S thermocouple, flash arm, quartz glass viewing windows, lid elements in quartz rods, venting, and more!
