Paragon Janus 1613 Kiln Glass and Ceramic Multipurpose Kiln

JANUS 1613 Dual Media Kiln

Pottery, Ceramics and Glass Multipurpose

Features

Kiln Comes with Heavy Duty Rolling Stand, 18” Square x 12” High

A deluxe, rock solid kiln stand with locking casters is included at no extra charge. You will enjoy the convenience of effortlessly moving the kiln out of the way when not in use.

The stand has a mounting bracket for the Orton Kiln Vent and a greenware drying rack. To install an Orton Kiln Vent, slide the vent collection cup into the vent bracket. The new stand eliminates the need for the collection cup mounting bolt.

Take advantage of the heat that radiates from the kiln. Load greenware on the lower shelf. Heat from the kiln will dry the ware to prepare it for the next firing. Save the time and electrical expense of drying the ware inside the kiln.

Assemble the stand with simple tools. The stand slides together with interlocking components that assemble with one size of bolt.

The Paragon Janus-1613 Glass/Pottery Kiln

The heat of the kiln is magical and offers wonderful surprises. Stained glass and ceramic glazes undergo a complete transformation in the kiln. Opening a kiln to view your treasures is a festive moment that you will never outgrow. Artists have said, “Woohooo! Opening a kiln is a celebration!”

The new Paragon Janus-1613 can fire both pottery and glass. Heating elements are mounted in the top and sidewalls of the ceramic pottery kiln.

Select between glass and pottery with the flip of a switch. With the switch in the glass position, heat comes from the top elements and the middle sidewall element. With the switch in the pottery position, heat comes from only the sidewall elements.

In the glass mode, fuse and sag large glass projects placed on a single shelf. In the pottery mode, fire to cone 10. You can also use the Paragon Janus 1613 to fire several shelves of smaller glass pieces using the pottery mode.

The elements in the ceramic pottery kiln lid are mounted in a firebrick “ball” groove that eliminates element pins. The element coils are wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in place without pins. The groove dissipates heat efficiently, evenly radiating heat onto the glass.

A heavy galvanized steel base covers the reversible brick bottom completely. It folds up under the stainless case on all sides to strengthen the firing chamber. This is one more assurance that your Paragon Janus 1613 kiln is built to last.

The digital Sentry 2.0 includes two modes: Cone-Fire with programmed slow cooling and 18-Segment Ramp-Hold. Manufactured by the Orton Ceramic Foundation exclusively for Paragon.

You will be amazed at the convenience of digital firing with this ceramic pottery kiln. The reliable solid-state Sentry controller continually monitors the firing so you can spend your time productively without closely watching the kiln. (Please remember, however, to check the kiln during firing and to monitor it near the expected shutoff time.) The sealed touch pad keeps out dust and is easy to wipe clean.

The Paragon Janus 1613 controller has powerful features that you will enjoy using. Yet we have also worked hard to make the controller user-friendly.

Do you ever wonder how much electricity your kiln uses? The digital controller can figure this for you with the press of a button. Find out how little a ceramic pottery kiln actually costs to fire. Learn to conserve energy by experimenting with firing speed, load density, etc.

The Optional Furniture Kit (not included)

The optional furniture kit consists of carefully selected fireclay shelves and posts for this particular model. When estimating the price of the kiln, you should consider adding the furniture kit. The furniture allows you to stack multiple layers of ware in the ceramic pottery kiln. Without it, you could fire only the ware that would fit on the kiln bottom.
