• Jewelry Making: Perfect for silver clay creations, enameling, and lost wax casting for both precious and non-precious metals.
• Specialty Applications: From decal application to general heat treatment, the E14-A is a versatile workhorse.

Designed for Convenience & Performance:

• Front-Loading Advantage: Unlike top-loading kilns, the front-loading design offers unparalleled ease of access, especially beneficial for delicate items, repetitive work, and precise placement. It's particularly well-suited for copper enameling, allowing for easier viewing and manipulation of pieces.
• Space-Saving Design: The Sentry Xpress digital controller is cleverly mounted in the kiln base, freeing up valuable table space. The front control panel is ergonomically tilted for effortless operation.
• Robust Construction: Built with Paragon's renowned durability, featuring heavy-duty 2 1/2” thick firebricks that efficiently store heat for controlled, slow cooling, crucial for glass annealing. Exposed heating elements in dropped, recessed grooves ensure uniform heat distribution and are easily replaceable for long-term maintenance.
• Dependable Components: Equipped with costly nickel-plated copper wire with high-temperature glass-braided insulation, and heat-dissipating connectors refined over decades of Paragon kiln manufacturing.

Intuitive Sentry Xpress 3-Key Digital Controller:

Take complete control of your firing schedules with this feature-rich controller:

• Dual Firing Modes: Choose between the simplified Single Speed mode for basic firings or the advanced 8-segment Ramp-Hold mode for complex artistic pieces.
• Program Storage: Store up to 4 detailed programs in Ramp-Hold mode, ready for instant recall.
• On-the-Fly Adjustments: Easily skip segments, change target temperatures, or add hold time during a firing without interrupting the kiln's operation.
• Precision Control: Program both heating and cooling rates to achieve specific artistic effects, especially vital for annealing.
• Hold (Soak) Function: Experiment with hold times to enhance color saturation in china paints or ensure thorough heat penetration.
• Program Review: Double-check your settings before initiating a firing.
• Temperature Alarm: Set an alarm to alert you when the kiln reaches a specific temperature, ideal for process monitoring.
• Flexible Display: Monitor temperature throughout firing and cooling in your preferred °F or °C.
• Thermocouple Offset: Fine-tune temperature readings for ultimate accuracy.
• Delay Start: Schedule firings to suit your timetable.
• Diagnostic Error Messages: Clear error messages provide immediate feedback on any mechanical issues.
• Comprehensive Manual: A colorful, illustrated instruction manual is included to help you master every feature.

Thoughtful Details:

• Versatile Peephole: A 1/2” hole is pre-stamped in the steel door case with a brushed stainless steel cover. The underlying firebrick is left undrilled, allowing you to customize the hole size for a peephole, vent, or pyrometer, or simply leave it undrilled if not needed.
• Cool-Touch Base: The integrated base stays cool during operation, eliminating the need for an additional stand.
• Single-Handed Door Latch: Effortlessly unlatch and open the door, even when your hands are full.

Built to Last, Backed by Experience:

Paragon kilns are renowned for their incredible longevity and reliability. As Jeff Zamek, author of “What Every Potter Should Know,” attests, “Paragon kilns have one of the lowest incidences of repair of any kiln manufactured in the U.S.” Each kiln comes with a one-year warranty, ensuring peace of mind for your creative journey.

Important Note for Online Orders: Don't forget your kiln furniture! A shelf and posts are essential accessories for most firing projects and are sold separately.
