A½hole is stamped into the steel door case and includes a brushed stainless steel cover . We have left the firebrick behind the hole undrilled so that you can drill it to the exact size that you need for a peephole,vent hole,or extra pyrometer hole . (Most people do not need the hole and leave the firebrick undrilled .)
The Xpress-E-9A heating element,exposed in dropped,recessed insulating firebrick grooves,is easy to replace . The 2½thick firebricks store plenty of heat for slow cooling through the glass annealing range . For small glass pieces such as jewelry,you can anneal without having to turn the elements back on during cooling . (Extra heat is necessary for annealing large pieces,however .)
Unlatch and open the door with one hand . No extra stand is needed; the built-in base stays cool during operation .
The Xpress-E-9A can ship by UPS . Enjoy lower shipping cost and faster service . Specially designed cartons and foam padding assure that the kiln will arrive safely .
Paragon kilns are built to be dependable . They are loadd with attention to details,such as the costly nickel-plated copper wire with high temperature glass-braided insulation . Wires are fastened to the elements with heat-dissipating connectors refined and proven over many years in Paragon kilns .
Becky Johnson,a glass teacher in Dallas,Texas,describes opening the kiln: I like to open the kiln with my students so that we can review and admire each other’s treasures together . The transformation of the glass inside the kiln is magical and mystical . It changes from pieces of arranged cut glass to awe-inspiring art . To be some part of that process is a true gift .
Paragon kilns just go on working forever,said Jeff Zamek,author of What Every Potter Should Know . He added,Paragon kilns have one of the lowest incidences of repair of any kiln manufactured in the U .S .
