  1. Dear all, Having the same glaze putting into two different kilns - one is km 714 by skutt, and another is Falcon FL3.120, the ones put into Falcon FL3.120 turns out with speckle. I wonder if it matters with the last firing rate above 1000c till my end temp (1222c). When using km714, I firing with cone 6 medium firing. When using Falcon FL3.120, I'm firing with the below schedule: 120c/hr - 1063c 70c/hr - 1220c I tuned the ending temp to 1220 as it seems due to the much larger chamber of FL3.120 than km714, the pyrometric cone shows it is a little bit over-fired. The recipe mainly having a speckled issue is as below: NS 20.37 silica 10.74 3124 22.56 Kaolin 29.23 Whiting 17.1 iron oxide 3 manganese dioxide 1.5 Thanks all.
  2. @neilestrick Hello Neil, the actual voltage of km714 is 208V/240V. The elements are around 1 year old. The DIAG shows it's 217V when with no load and 207V when with full load. I'm not sure how can I check the element resistance. Didi
  3. Hello all, I have a km 714 kiln from Skutt and recently it has been showing E1 as it rises temperature till around 1180c. Known from 'DIAG' and actual measuring the elements, I found that the voltage is lower that 220/240V. I would if it is the reason of E1 and what should I do for repairing the kiln. Thank you all.
