Key Information

Front Access

The defining feature of the Studio Pro design is its front access. Simply lift the chamber to expose the entire floor. It's wall-free and wide open.

Front access is perfect for glass placement: simply build directly on your shelf and close the chamber. Front access is also great when using tools that require a horizontal approach such as raking, roll ups and
manipulation techniques.

Top Access

The Studio Pro 17 features top access as part of the dual access design. Top access is excellent for the loading of shelves and forms as it allows for easy and precise placement. Top access is also preferred for many vertical-approach manipulation techniques such as embossing.

Fiber & Firebrick Design

The Studio Pro 17 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick. Fiber is used in the lid to speed up the firing process to avoid devitrification and provide for a lighter weight lid.

Firebrick is used in both the walls and floor and provides excellent heat-storage properties which helps smooth out temperature swings and is awesome for annealing. By its nature, firebrick cleans up the
temperature fluctuations that "all-fiber" kilns experience. You want a portion of firebrick in your glass kiln and the Studio Pro 17 delivers.

Swing View Equipped

Studio Pro 17 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure. The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple.

The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.

Relay Access Port

The Studio Pro 17 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement. Simply remove the access plate to gain access to the mechanical relay. There's no need to remove the control panel and dig into the internal wiring. It's absolutely simple and effective and all it takes is a screwdriver!

It's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.

Bench-Top Operation

The Studio Pro 17 is designed to be placed directly on your counter or bench-top or within the included floor stand (see below), the choice is yours. Bench-top operation positions the kiln at waist level for very comfortable front access use.

Please note that counters and bench tops must be constructed of non-combustible material and be capable of supporting the load of the kiln.

Elemented Fiber Lid

Evenheat's fiber lid construction offers a faster heat-up than traditional 120V firebrick designs, about 50% faster. This faster firing potential reduces or completely eliminates devitrification.

The lid of the Studio Pro 17 is constructed of a special fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This design allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat transfer and firing efficiency. We also position these lid heating elements left to right to prevent them from sagging or bunching-up with repeated opening and closing. It's a small but important detail that guarantees performance and satisfaction over the life of the kiln.

Floor Stand included

The Studio Pro 17 is supplied with a 16" stand for optional floor placement if desired.

Power Interrupt Switch Equipped

The Studio Pro 17 is standard equipped with a power interrupt switch which removes electrical power from all heating elements if either the lid or chamber is opened. This is important for those who may access the kiln during firing such as glass manipulation and roll-ups.

Options:

Multiple Control Options

The Studio Pro 17 is available in a variety of controls including the Icon, Icon+, Tap II and Rampmaster 3. At
Evenheat we take the best control platforms on the market and make them even better by adding Special Limits thermocouples for precise temperature sensing and non-metallic faceplates for stellar Wi-Fi reception for on-line Apps. Visit our Controls tab to learn more about our controls and why they represent the very best that you can get.

Quiet Drive Solid State Relay Option

Studio Pro 17 models are available with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay option. Our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System offers tight temperature control, high reliability and increased heating element life. The Quiet
Drive is arguably the best designed and best performing solid state system on the market.

Why Upgrade from Mechanical Relays to Solid-State Relays?

Mechanical Relays, which come standard on most kilns have internal moving parts which over time wear out and need to be replaced. Kiln manufacturers recommend you replace your mechanical relays approximately every 2 years. Solid-state relays have no moving parts and last far longer than standard mechanical relays and offer far better temperature control during hold times. Since solid-state relays also have no moving parts to wear out, they NEVER need to be replaced. You will notice that solid-state relays are silent. The only sound you will hear is just the reassuring hum of the heating elements. So, this factory upgrade saves you potential down time from having to wait for new relays to arrive, potential over-fires from relays sticking in the closed position, potential aggravation from having to learn how to remove and replace the mechanical relays yourself. We think this upgrade is well worth the cost and will save you time and aggravation over the life of your kiln.

The Studio Pro 17 Furniture Kit includes one (1) 16” square shelf, four (4) 1” posts, a 24oz. bottle of kin wash and a haik brush.

All About Kilns

What other features are important?

Kilns from every manufacturer are configured with features that allow for different types of functions. These features are available in fiber and brick models. Consider these options:

Top Load Kilns: Ideal for jewelry makers and projects involving powders and frit. Provides good visibility but may be challenging if you’re looking for a deeper kiln or have shorter arms.

Front Load Kilns: Suitable for tasks like enameling and hot manipulations. Offers control and less direct heat, but can be more expensive and require some lifting. This is also true for the weight on the shelf and placing it in front of you.

Clam Shell Kilns: Combines top and front loading, these types of kilns really delivers the best of both worlds; accessibility and free access to your shelf, in addition to ease of loading, and convenience, but may come at a higher cost.

Flip Doors (aka; Punty Doors, Bead Doors, Doggie Doors): Essential for preheating rods and quick bead placement. However, they may affect efficiency and temperature reach.

Windows (aka; quartz portholes): These are not the same as vent holes or peep holes. Optional quartz portholes for monitoring projects at peak temperatures, especially helpful for slumping, draping, or drop ring project. A window will also allow you to check the progress of a pot melt/aperture pour or screen melt.

What to consider when buying a kiln?

What kind of projects would you like to do?

The type, size, and kiln features you require are determined by the projects you choose. This covers things like firing techniques, loading systems, building components, voltage, controllers, and more. Your response may help to clarify your preferences, but you should also consider how well your preferences match with your current circumstances.

Where will you be locating the kiln?
The kind, dimension, and features of your kiln are influenced by where it is. Environment, power supply, safety, and space availability are all important considerations. Your desires might not always line up perfectly with the constraints of your surroundings, this is where we as artists must become creative problem solvers in an effort to overcome our environmental constraints.

We're here to support you. Please reach out if you need any additional advice!

Where should I place my kiln?

Here are some basic guidelines about locating your kiln:

Make sure you have adequate space... at least 12 - 18 inches of space between the kiln and the wall. (However, for operator comfort, allow room to walk around the kiln if maintenance is required.) It is recommended that the unit be placed on a stand on top of flame-resistant flooring like a cement floor or board.
Make sure the area is really clean - remove all flammable or combustible materials such as curtains, plastics, rags, paper, packing materials, etc. from the area surrounding the kiln.
Make sure the area is well ventilated – proper air exchange is necessary for you kiln to last a long time. Heat from the kiln and outside air can accumulate in restricted areas above both gas and electric kilns.
Make sure that the heat has somewhere to go, and is replaced by fresh cooler air. Set up a fan near the area, or open a window to ensure good air exchange. Check all local requirements or codes before installation.

IMPORTANT: Always read your owners manual and follow you kiln manufacturer's instructions.

Plugs & Electricity

What type of plug do I need?

Each kiln model described on our website will identify which of the following power supply receptacles is used with that model. They are identified by voltage and amperage as well as the NEMA designation. Those described as "direct wire" do not use a receptacle, instead, they are permanently wired.

Maintenance

Care and Maintenance

Proper kiln maintenance is essential for preventing downtime and costly repairs. Here's a checklist to help you keep your kiln in top shape:

Before Every Firing:

Inspect: Check inside your kiln for any unwanted visitors, moisture, or debris. Ensure your pet-friendly area is clean to prevent odorous surprises.
Vacuum: Turn off the power and use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to clean the interior, removing dust and residue that could affect your glass during firing.
Clean: Remove flammable materials from the area around the kiln.
Inspect Elements: Ensure coils/elements are in place, free of debris, and securely fastened. Check thermocouples and tighten lid screws as needed.
Check for Cracks: Examine your shelf for cracks and address them to prevent issues during firing.
Power Up: Turn the power back on and ensure the kiln registers the correct room temperature.

Monthly Maintenance:

Lid Check Up: Periodically tighten the lid band as the lid expands and contracts during firings. Most kiln lids are manufactured with a protective coating on the "hot side" or inside. This coating was applied to optimize the heat insulation of the lid, as well as to prevent brick dust from falling into the kiln. Address cosmetic lid cracks, and for structural issues, consult the manufacturer during the warranty period. If you are in the warranty period, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THIS without calling the manufacturer, as this could void your warranty.
Body Check Up: The only things inside of your kiln should be your elements, pins, brick, kiln furniture/posts and kiln washed shelves. Remove any non-essential materials such as (glaze, slip, clay, glass, silica sand) from the sidewalls to protect them and the heating elements. Be cautious when using kiln cement to repair cracks, and contact the manufacturer if needed during the warranty period. If you are in the warranty period, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THIS without calling the manufacturer, as this could void your warranty.
Inspect Elements: Look for signs of wear such as rust, bulging, or thinning/thickening areas. Elements wear out with usage and may need replacement. If you find it necessary to change out your elements, make sure you speak to the manufacturer to determine the appropriate element size for your kiln. Please refer to your operator’s manual for the discussion and photo's of "Element Replacement".
Electrical Check Up: Regularly examine the power cable, receptacle, and plug for discoloration, heat, corrosion, or loose connections. Address any electrical issues promptly, and consult the manufacturer if needed, especially during the warranty period. If you are in the warranty period, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THIS without calling the manufacturer, as this could void your warranty.

Regular maintenance will help your kiln perform efficiently and extend its lifespan.

What are Safety Precautions?

Kilns are as safe as any other electrical appliance when used under normal and proper operating conditions. All kiln safety precautions should always be observed.

Use common sense while installing and using your kiln.
Do not install your kiln closer than 12" from any surface, or closer than 18” from a combustible surface. Remove all potentially combustible materials from the kiln area.
Make sure all electrical specifications are followed. Use correct voltage, wire size and circuit breaker. Make sure all connections are tight. Avoid using aluminum wire. Always use the proper grounded receptacle. A qualified electrician or service person should be used for all electrical service or repairs.
Install in covered, walled in, well-ventilated area. Fumes from the ware should be vented to the outside.
Avoid moisture. Do not allow your kiln to get wet. Never use your kiln outside!
Always keep children and unsupervised personnel away. Surface will get hot and a burn could result.
Fire glass only to the manufacturers recommended firing temperature. Improper fire temperatures could result in damage to your kiln. Do not operate glass kilns over the maximum temperature rating.
Replace any worn or defective parts with ONLY genuine replacement parts.
Unplug kiln when not in use and if there is an electrical storm.
Unplug the kiln before servicing or vacuuming.
Do not drop or slam the lid shut.
Let the kiln cool to room temperature before opening the lid.
