The top is easy to lift

Heavy-duty air pistons lighten the top . The comfortable lid handle stays cool and extends across the width of the kiln for convenient opening . A woven rope seal mounted on all four sides of the top acts as a gasket and cushions the top . The mating surfaces between the kiln top and bottom are hardened and sealed with a special refractory coating .
The top of the kiln is protected with a painted sheet metal cover . The element connectors in the lid stay cool because of ventilation slots and a 3 air gap between the outer cover and a secondary inner steel cover . As you can see,we have gone all out in the sturdy construction of the CS-26 .
Quartz tubes help eliminate dust
The lid elements are protected in six quartz tubes for a cleaner kiln interior . There is less dust in the kiln,because there are no element grooves in the firebrick top,which is one continuous,smooth surface . The quartz tubes protect the elements from contamination with foreign materials that could shorten the element life . The tubes absorb very little heat,allowing the elements to heat the firingchamber efficiently . Quartz tubes also protect the user from contact with the elements .
Elements in the top and sides for superior heat distribution
For unsurpassed heat distribution,the CS-26 includes not only quartz-tube-enclosed elements in the top but also three rows of sidewall elements . The sidewall element coils are protected in dropped,recessed grooves for long life .
Easy-maintenance control panel

The sleek CS-26 is designed for easy maintenance . You can quickly remove the sloped front control panel for easy access to the electrical components . They are thoughtfully laid out for quick maintenance inside a large working area . The ventilation slots keep the control panel cool . The control panel includes an on/off switch and a pilot light .
