Model eFL1626 Front-Loading Kiln with Multi-Program Three-Zoned Genesis Touchscreen control, mounted in an easy-open, cool-firing, piggy-back control panel that is angled for easy viewing of control. Kiln comes with hard ceramic element holders, protected thermocouples, a stand, and solid peephole plugs.  The sides and top are arched for super strength. The base, door, and door frame are formed from precision sheet metal to be lightweight and strong. These kilns ship by common carrier, and are inexpensive to buy, install, and maintain. 17"W by 26"H by 26" D (6.6 cubic feet). 3" K23 brick. All models are rated to Cone 10. *A special model eFL1626-208-X is rated at Cone 5 but has 48.0 amps and a 60 amp fuse. Plugs on US Models only: 6-50P on single phase and 15-50P on three phase for all eFL1626 models except the standard eFL1626-208 1 Phase, which needs to be direct wired. Three thermocouples. No charge for 3-phase versions. C-MET-us is listed to UL499 in the USA & Canada. Note: Casters are optional.

eFL Kilns include Genesis Touchscreen Multi-Zone Control

Note on Receiving the Kiln: These kilns take some effort to remove from the pallet and set up. Some assembly is required. Please see the details in the Shipping Checklist: See Pre-Order Checklist.

Control

The Genesis control includes a touchscreen interface and WIFI connectivity. The intuitive interface is easy to use and understand. A free phone app allows you to monitor your kiln remotely.
EVEN FIRING. MAKES LOADING MORE FLEXIBLE. ADJUSTS FOR ELEMENT AGING. No need to pay extra for this important feature! Zone control on an electric kiln gives you the utmost controllable temperature uniformity. The kiln control separately measures temperatures in the bottom, middle, and top of the ceramic kiln and automatically adjusts the heat output of three kiln zones during the entire glaze or bisque firing.
EASY TO SEE AND PROGRAM THE CONTROL. Angled control panel makes viewing control and programming easier.

Serviceability

THIS IS THE SAFEST AND EASIEST KILN TO WORK ON. The Control panel pulls down easily and remains perpendicular to the element box for very easy access. All wiring is neatly laid out in a professional and industrial way with color coding and numbering for easy repair and troubleshooting. Best of all the double panel design results in cooler panels and longer control and relay life.

Durability

KEEP YOUR WORK CLEAN. Ceramic protection tubes protect the end of the thermocouple. Keeps the oxide dust from the thermocouple tip from getting into the kiln while firing.
HEAVY-DUTY. Thick 8 gauge thermocouples last a long time. Special Limit of Error to ANSI MC96.1 specifications is used.
NO PINS TO REPLACE AND DAMAGE YOUR FIREBRICK! Durability, Repairability, Better Heat Transfer. The smooth, hard surface of the inside ceramic channel allows the elements to expand and contract freely. The dense ceramic holders extend element life because they do not insulate the hot elements from the kiln interior.
STOP BREAKING PEEPHOLE PLUGS. Solid large non-tapered peepholes allow a wider view into the kiln. The peephole plugs are made from solid ceramic and are not as fragile as hollow-type plugs used on competitors' kilns.
NO CRIMPING! EASY TO CHANGE. Industrial-grade ceramic terminal blocks make changing elements easy. All contact between elements and wire lugs is over a wide surface of heavily torqued stainless steel washers. Wires are not crimped to element ends as in some other brands. This means you can change elements yourself without buying an expensive tool or hiring a kiln repair person.
PROTECT AND SUPPORT. Stainless Steel clips help the lid stay secure and durable. This extra step ensures that the lid won't slip out of the stainless steel band.
KEEP YOUR KILN LOOKING NEW. Corrosion resistant materials and methods result in a long-lasting kiln.

Support

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL. Most L&L Kilns have a three-year limited warranty.
LET OUR EXPERIENCE WORK FOR YOU. The combined experience at L&L Kilns in kilns, ceramics, electrical engineering, and process engineering is unsurpassed. We work as a team to help you get your answers and help.
LIKE HAVING A KILN LIBRARY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. The combined experience at L&L Kilns in kilns, ceramics, electrical engineering, and process engineering is unsurpassed. We provide a visual parts list with photographs, part numbers, prices, and helpful information to reduce confusion when ordering parts.

Safety

EXTRA SAFETY FOR FRONT-LOADING KILNS. Shuts off power to kiln when the door is open

Controls

Traditional 24-button Keypad control. This control can be substituted for any Genesis full-sized control.
Electronic High Limit Back Up Control acts as an upper limit back up to the main control. Back up contactors are also available.
Solid State Relays are quiet and result in longer element life because the switching time is so fast the elements don’t heat and cool as much the way the will with regular mechanical contactors. The whole system includes heat sinks, special fast acting fuses, cooling fan and extra safety relays.

Thermocouples

Type S Platinum Thermocouples are recommended for high fire applications. NOTE: Price of upgrade is per each thermocouple.
Pyrocil thermocouples are sensitive but limited to about 2200°F but offer greater sensitivity to temperature change and so may be appropriate in applications below 2200°F that require sensitivity. NOTE: Price of upgrade is per each thermocouple.

Vents

A Critical component in the longevity of your kiln!The Vent-Sure automatic kiln vent helps prevent corrosion on the inside and outside of your kiln.
The Vent Control allows you to automatically control the operation of the Vent-Sure kiln vent with the control.

Kiln Furniture

Kiln furniture kits are the recommended set of ceramic shelves, posts, and heat-resistant gloves for each kiln model. These are for loading the work in the kiln.
These safety gloves are perfect for handling hot work when unloading a kiln.

Power

This option helps protect your control from electrical noise
Optional plugs and cords are dependent on model and voltage
L&L's 480 volt option can include a NEMA 1 control panel
