Description
Kilncare Ikon V61E – 13 amp Top Loading Kiln
- Kilncare have a solid reputation for high quality, reliable glass annealing and fusing kilns going back 40 years – several years ago they applied their knowledge for energy efficiency and innovative design to electric top loaders for ceramics and developed the IKON range – and are still working on it for further sizes.
- These kilns are produced in Stoke on Trent using locally manufactured controllers and a heritage of quality to make a premium kiln.
- Kilncare’s own service engineers are available to maintain the kilns and supply spare parts and elements
- The IKON has a 36 month guarantee (excl elements).
- Ultra strong due to the skeleton sub frame that the chamber sits on.
- Unique three section lid seal that improves heat retention.
- Twin gas spring struts, exhaust shutter rather than a plug, solid state relays
- Stafford KCR32C Controller with 32 programs, each with 32 segments/ramps.
- Recommended for earthenware and mid range firings up to a maximum of 1200oC – see the V61-GXR for the high insulation model
ELECTRIC:- This kiln can be plugged straight in to a 13 amp socket but does need all 13 amps and for it to fit tight so that all three pins are held tightly – please do not use a standard household extension reel or a spur off a circuit. With the power turned off to that socket it is best for a capable person to check inside the socket that all the wires are nice and tight. Some people prefer to have it hard wired in to an isolator to give the most secure connection; or use a metal bodied socket. New regulations mean that there are now available in the UK EV approved white plastic sockets that are more resistant to long period of time at high pulls on the power than standard sockets.
