GM-22CS Kiln
Description
The Clam Shell Design - GM22CS The premier shape for fusing and shallow slumping.
The Clam shell design provides easy access to the glass for loading and manipulating. The top chamber of the kiln retains the heat when the kiln is opened and the bottom allows room for heat to flow under the shelf for uniform heating.The kiln holds a 20" shelf with room enough for your fingers for easy placement. The elements are hung on a refractory rod which helps extend life and prevent particles from falling into the glass. The fiber top is removable which makes changing elements easier than any kiln on the market. The unit is controlled by a GlassMaster wallmounted controller.

The GM-22CS has some unique features that require some clarification.
UNPACKINGThe GM22CS comes packed in several boxes. In Box #1 will be the kiln and Operating Manual Packet. In Box #2 will be the Kiln Stand and GlassMaster Controller.
PLACING ON THE STAND The Kiln Stand needs to be positioned with the buckle latch facing forward. Line up the kiln on the stand so the top half of the latch on the kiln can be attached to the bottom half of the latch on the stand.
MOUNTING THE GLASSMASTER CONTROLLER
1) Locate a spot on the wall behind the kiln that is at least 18” from the kiln yet close enough to not stretch the controller cord when it is attached to the kiln. Make sure the location is easy and safe to access and preferably in an area where at least 1 of the mounting screws can be attached to a stud in the wall. If a wall stud can not be accessed it will be necessary to use drywall anchor bolts that can be found at a local hardware store. Using the template in the back of the catalog, mark the holes for drilling.
2) Remove the template from the wall and drive the mounting screws (these can be found in your Operating Manual Packet) into the wall in the areas marked. Leave approximately 1/4” of thread showing on the screw to allow for the unit to hang on the screws.
3) Hang the GlassMaster Controller on the screws and attach the controller cord to the back box of the kiln using the connector on the end of the cord.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE KILN
The GM22CS’s “Clam Shell” design requires shocks to comfortably open the kiln. These shocks have dampeners built into their chambers to keep the kiln from opening too fast. However it is still recommended to control the speed of the lid opening when it is to be opened all of the way. This will reduce the amount of stress placed on the hinges and back row of bricks.
