Hi Janet,
I think you will find that the primary use for this kiln is to melt dental gold alloys, so you can assume that the top limit is around 1000°C.
In the absence of a manual, I would suggest you put in some sterling scrap in a small crucible at say setting 3. If after about 15 minutes the metal has melted, this will be 800°C, which is also what you require for enamelling.
If not, step it up to 4 and wait, progressing until you have a result. Dennis.
Dear Janet, I'm sorry that I seem to have answered the wrong question, but since you already have all the information you need, as shown by the temperature gauge, I am puzzled to know what you were asking that you could not work out from that. Regards, Dennis.
I have a friend in QLD who does some enameling she uses one of these, http://www.thermomart.com/digital-ki...?product_id=69
Hi Dennis,
The manual says what temps the numbers stand for--I was hoping someone might have it or be familiar enough with this kiln to know. At the time I got it, it was very popular for enamelling. I assume they didn't put the temps on the dial because the temp gauge shows both centigrade and Farenheit and there wouldn't be room for both. I guess I'll just have to take the time to check out what temp each number gets to.
Thanks for your efforts!
Janet in Jerusalem
