Hinged switch box for easy maintenance
The ventilated switch box is generously slotted for air circulation for the long life of the electrical components. Hinged at the bottom, the switch box opens wide for easy maintenance. Open the box in seconds by merely removing two screws at the top. A folding support arm holds the box in the open position. There is plenty of working space around electrical components. A bank of built-in NEC/UL compliant high-amperage fuses protects the kiln and circuit wiring.
Convenient front loading
Potters who struggle with top-loading kilns will enjoy the Janus Dragon. The door swings open wide on a heavy ¾” steel rod with sealed bearings. Two spring-loaded latches press the door tightly closed.
Doorway Clearance
The Dragon will fit through a 34” doorway if the handles and back element cover are temporarily removed.
Optional colors at no extra charge

Here's a Sample DPF Firing schedule:
Note: The specific firing schedule may vary depending on the DPF manufacturer, its condition, and the desired level of cleaning. Always consult the DPF manufacturer's guidelines for the most accurate and safe procedures.
Here's a general firing schedule using multiple segments in Fahrenheit:
Segment 1: Pre-Heat
Temperature Range: 150°F to 350°F
Duration: 10-15 minutes
Purpose: Gradually warms up the DPF to prevent thermal shock.
Segment 2: Soot Oxidation
Temperature Range: 350°F to 800°F
Duration: 30-60 minutes
Purpose: Oxidizes soot particles in the DPF.
Segment 3: High Temperature Cleaning
Temperature Range: 800°F to 1000°F
Duration: 30-60 minutes
Purpose: Removes any remaining soot and ash.
Segment 4: Cool Down
Temperature Range: 1000°F to 150°F
Duration: 30-60 minutes
Purpose: Gradually cools down the DPF to prevent thermal shock.
Additional Considerations:
Oxygen Supply: Ensure adequate oxygen supply during the cleaning process.
Monitoring: Monitor the DPF's temperature and pressure throughout the cleaning cycle.
Repeat Cycles: If necessary, repeat the cleaning process until the desired level of soot removal is achieved.
Professional Assistance: For complex or heavily clogged DPFs, consider consulting a professional for cleaning.
Remember: This is a general schedule. Always refer to the DPF manufacturer's specific guidelines for the most accurate and safe cleaning procedures.
For those who need a specific DPF Firing schedule to enter based on the above guidelines:
Segment 1: 250F p/h to 350F - HOLD 15min
Segment 2: 350F p/h to 800F - HOLD 60 min
Segment 3: 350F p/h to 1000F - HOLD 60 min
Segment 4: off
Do not open the oven door until you are under 200F.
