Relay Access Port

Although all Glass Kilns from Evenheat now come standard with the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay (except the Studio Pro STP), always expected to last the life of the kiln, having a Relay Access Port is still smart designing. Why?

Because solid-state units are actually equipped with a mechanical relay that serves as a vital safety feature.

This innovative design tackles the inherent nature of solid-state systems, which are never fully on or off and may result in a slight, nearly imperceptible leakage current to the elements. By physically interrupting the circuit, the mechanical relay ensures complete isolation and eliminates any potential leakage. It operates only twice during a firing cycle: once at the start to allow current flow and once at the end to completely cut it off. Built for longevity, the safety relay is highly durable, and the accessible Relay Access Port makes maintenance simple and efficient if ever needed. This is engineering excellence in action!

Bench-top Operation

The Studio Pro 14 offers flexible placement options; you can set it directly on your counter or bench-top, or use the included floor stand (details below) – the decision is entirely up to you.

Placing the kiln on a bench-top positions it conveniently at waist level, providing comfortable and easy access from the front.

However, it's important to ensure that the counters or bench-tops are made from non-combustible materials and are strong enough to support the kiln's weight.

Plug and Go

The Studio Pro 14 is designed for seamless operation with a 120V power supply and comes fitted with a standard North American 120V plug, ensuring an effortless connection process.

It is recommended that the Studio Pro 14 be operated on a dedicated electrical circuit. For proper supply hook-up, consulting with an electrician is advised to ensure safe and optimal use.
