Technical Overview
Overview & Function
The Paragon CT81713 Janus is a compact dual-mode kiln engineered for both ceramic and glass firing. Its Janus positioning gives small studios flexibility to run pottery schedules and glass processes in one footprint. The cone-10 rating supports high-fire ceramic work alongside compatible glass programs.
Fitment & Compatibility
This kiln suits studios, schools, and art centers needing compact dual capability rather than a larger plain pottery unit like the CT81722. Buyers should confirm power service, ventilation, furniture needs for each mode, and programming familiarity before ordering.
Technical Construction & Specifications
Source-confirmed details are CT81713 identity, Janus compact dual-mode ceramic plus glass design, and cone-10 capability. No voltage, amperage, chamber dimensions, or controller model are stated in the source. Exact Part Supply advises confirming full OEM specifications, element layout, and included accessories with the factory datasheet prior to electrical planning.
Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Arrange freight delivery, licensed electrician connection, and kiln ventilation with proper clearances. Inspect brick, elements, and controller on arrival and register warranty promptly. Use mode-appropriate shelves and firing schedules, monitor thermocouple accuracy, and service elements and relays regularly to preserve dual-mode firing consistency.
